Not worth even sale price. By -RB from Santa Clara, CA on 06/21/2009 Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Does not come with enough cell phone connections. Difficult to find proper size connections for sizes not included.
Poor quality all around.
Sent mine back for refund.
By Mike from Northeast on 05/03/2009 Cons: Difficult To Change Bulb Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased the radio mainly for my son's camping trips. He likes to listen in his tent before sleeping. with this radio, he can listen without using a lot of battery, and if he leaves it on it will go off when the crank charge runs down.
Included with the radio is recharge connection adaptors to fit Nokia, Samsung, LG and Motorola.

By gardener from Pao Alto, California on 10/27/2008 Cons: 10 minutes initial charge, Heavy, Long crank initial time Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: It was kind of heavy and clumsy looking but mainly I found one that had a solar cell plus a crank and battery to charge it and also had the cell phone charge option along with a nice shape and size for a bright flashlight.
Handle broke off with initial charging By Norskei from Indianapolis, IN on 08/13/2008 Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought this primarily for camping or traveling for recharging my phone or for emergency recharging, radio and light. First of all, none of the adapters fit my phone (Motorola Razr), then when performing the initial 10min crank charge of the rechargeable batteries as my fingers were cramping from winding and winding and winding, the crank broke off. Not good.
By Lite guy from Asheville NC on 08/13/2008 Best Uses: Have on shelf for back up Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Flashlite is ok. Seems to take a lot of cranking to charge the battery...and it doesn't seem to hold that charge when not using. Overall, it seems like a durable light.
By Gramma from Miami, FL on 08/04/2008 Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: we haven't had an emergency since I received it, but I feel much more secure knowing that I will not be cut off from the world when the ext hurricane hits.
By Phil from Savannah, GA on 07/25/2008 Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This was a great radio. I really liked this radio when i first recived it until the crank handel for the rechargeable battery broke off on the second day of use. I was even trying to be gentle so it wouldnt break. I wish it was made of some stronger material rather than this cheap plastic.
By jun from australia on 03/12/2008 Pros: Feels good in hand, Good quality plastic Cons: Bettery switch, Few phone can use it Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping, Day trip Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It's a good idea to have a hand crank charger for mobile phone, an with may other handy functions such as radio, touch, buzzer...
Cons:
The battery switch for (dry/rechargeable) doesn't work very well due to the quality, may have some contact problem.
didn't provide an external AC power charger for the in-built rechargeable battery, though there's a DC input for it.
For the mobile charger, it works well for my Nokia, the for other brands you may need different adapters, and I have no idea where you can get them. They only provide Nokia, Samsung and LG adapters.
Charges your phone, if you're lucky By ginger lee frank from Cincinnati, USA on 03/03/2008 Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have a very common Motorola flip phone but none of the adapters supplied with this unit fit it. Went to [@] to try to buy an adapter for the adapters, without success. So the phone charging function is useless to me, as is (which is the principal reason I bought it). Also, wish it were not red; would have preferred black, charcoal, tan, green, olive, yellow.
