There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I see people complaining about it not giving off alerts, did you not choose your state and county? There’s no way it doesn’t go off unless somehow you screwed up when you were programming it. It’s not a smart radio, it doesn’t have GPS to locate your exact coordinates, so it won’t give you alerts without programming it. As long as you choose your state and county, you can know with certainty it’ll work. The S.A.M.E stations are pretty easy to check as there’s only handful of national codes, and depending on your region, the same codes can/will be different for someone in New York vs someone in Texas. I was able to pick up around 4-5 different codes (areas) within my state by moving the antenna around. I found most of them to be pretty similar in content outside of one that is located around 200+ miles away. The others were all about the same as far as areas covered and updates given. Check out the NOAA website and you can input your exact address. It’ll show you an interactive map, and show you the closest stations to you, the areas that your location is part of, and other relevant information.
I suggest keeping batteries in it, and leaving it plugged in; as in the batteries should only power this radio whenever you’re without power. Some reviews complain about battery life, but if you have power, why would you ever waste batteries? I just don’t understand. It’s 4 AA batteries, not 4 C or D cell batteries. You can’t expect months out of a radio with this many features powered only by 4 AA batteries. That should be common sense. I spent a few hours messing with it, and left it on after setting it up. After about 5 hours, it still shows a full battery. (Batteries used: Duracell Optimum AA)
After that I decided to plug it in, and leave it on my kitchen counter. That way when the power does go out, it’ll have batteries already in it, and it’ll be ready to go. At the end of the day, this is a weather radio.. with FM/AM radio/alarm clock features. Meaning this is a weather radio first and foremost, I don’t really care about the alarm clock, the AM/FM radio is a nice bonus, but I probably won’t use it for that to be honest. Living close to the Gulf of Mexico, I believe it’s a must to have weather radio for hurricane/tropical storm preparation. Hopefully I never have to use it, but if I do, then I’ll certainly be glad to have it. I don’t think you really put a price on peace of mind, but for me I’d say it’s worth it. Not only for peace of mind, but all things considered, it feels quality, and it performs well through the number of tests I ran it through.
The alerts are loud. I’d suggest not keeping this in your bedroom, and especially not by your nightstand. I keep mine in my kitchen, and I can easily hear it from my bedroom; so just something to keep in mind.
PS: To those upset about it shipping in the manufactures box; check before you buy. Amazon will warn you if the item ships in the manufacturers box. It’s literally right above the “place order” button, and it’s hard to miss. For something like this I don’t mind much to be honest. It arrived safely. Sometimes it gets thrown around more when it’s put into a larger Amazon box, so I only make sure to hide what’s inside when the item noticeably valuable, like a printer, security cameras, or a PS5. Mark the item as a gift if you wish to hide the contents, and it’ll ship in an Amazon box.
I played around a bit with single vs. multiple counties. It's really smart in that if you choose Multiple and then select "near" counties for the additional items, it usually picks the correct ones. However, deleting a county from the list is neither simple nor intuitive. You'll have to Google it, but it comes down to pressing the navigation buttons until you get a numeric county code, setting to 0, and then performing another action. I ended up switching to Single mode because I noticed that my county was usually included in any weather activity that affected surrounding areas, and I didn't want alert overload.
Reception is surprisingly good. I'm in a rural area where there is literally no TV signal, and 1 or 2 FM stations that come in decently. The weather station is about 25 miles away but it comes through loud and clear, with only a little bit of static.
Anyway, last night the thing went off at 2:30 am. It was loud, obnoxious in a good way, and it woke us immediately. The display said TORNADO WARNING, the red light was flashing, and the voice announcement mentioned a high likelihood of a storm that could form a tornado over our county. I looked out the window and all looked pretty calm, so we just sat tight for a while. My wife went back to sleep but I stayed up to see what would happen next. About 10 minutes later the wind picked up and there was lightning everywhere, so I started collecting a few essentials to take into the basement if necessary. Then at 2:50 the alarm went off again, this time urging us to seek shelter, as a potential tornado was spotted about 20 miles away and headed in our direction. We unplugged the radio (it works fine on battery), flashlights, water and a few other emergency supplies to the basement and made ourselves comfortable. Radio reception was spotty down there, so I had to occasionally pick the radio up and stand in a certain spot to get a signal (there's a handy NOAA signal strength indicator in the LCD display). After about half an hour the red light stopped flashing, indicating the warning expired, and we went back upstairs.
We found out later that there was definitely some rotation, but no tornado and it never got close enough to our home to do any damage; however, I highly valued the 30 minute warning, which gave us plenty of time to prepare for a possible touchdown. This little radio has already paid for itself in peace of mind.
Top reviews from other countries
De plus les voyants d'avertissement peuvent facilement être vu de loin (ce qui n'était pas le cas avec l'ancien modèle).
De plus pour nous les francophones au Canada, ce modèle est tri-lingue: Anglais, Espagnol et Français! On peut convertir les menus et le libellé de toutes les alertes en français! J'ai grandement apprécié cela! Le manuel est aussi dans les trois langues.
Aussi grandement apprécié: On n'est plus obligé de connaître d'avance le(s) numéro(s) de 6 chiffres pour recevoir uniquement les alertes qui me concernent. Il n'y a qu'à suivre les menus et répondre aux questions! Quel pays? Quelle province? Et choisir la (ou les) région(s) appropriée(s). La radio connaît tous les codes! Pour quiconque qui a déjà eu à programmer ce genre de radio, c'est tout simplement génial! Ca facilite de beaucoup sa programmation.
Réception: Selon ma petite expérience avec d'autres radios de ce type, c'est dans la moyenne. Pas extraordinaire, mais pas mauvaise non plus. Le même commentaire s'applique aussi à la bande AM et FM.
Points négatifs: Contrairement à la plupart des radios météos, -incluant son prédécesseur-, la durée d'une alerte météo n'est pas affichée.
De plus, seulement les alertes en cours peuvent être consultées. Lorsqu'elles expirent, elles sont effacées. Donc, si vous revenez chez vous après une journée au travail, il est impossible de consulter la liste des alertes météos qui ont été émises pendant votre absence.
A noter que cette radio a un port USB pour recharger un appareil, mais l'ampérage est limité à 1A.
Je suis satisfait de mon achat!
