Etón American Red Cross ARCFR160R Microlink Self-Powered AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio with Flashlight, Solar Power and Cell Phone Charger (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Weather radios are sort of a hobby of mine. There is just about no place I can go on my property that there isn't one within reach somewhere. Six different brands are represented presently by what I own, including a more expensive Eton that is not my best radio. This small, (and I mean small) new line from Eton is a whole new animal to be sure. Its controls and design are very user friendly. And the reception on all channels, including the weather, is very loud and clear. Its true that the dial numbers for the AM FM are very small as some other reviewers have mentioned and can make it hard to tune accurately. But that is something common, as well as for me expected in a radio so small. What sets this unit apart from all the others I own in my opinion is its price and solar power. It is without a doubt the cheapest weather radio I have come across that is solar powered. Big, small, or otherwise. Even though one has been able to buy solar powered calculators at discount stores for less than $10 for years now, for some reason the weather radio industry has treated solar power as something still high tech and to be appreciated only in their most expensive units. My only other solar powered radio cost me over $60. The only possible down side that I should mention about this radio is that it does not take batteries. It would have been nice if they included that option. But they didn't and its either the solar power or crank. This could be a very big negative for some folks who would feel comfortable knowing they could just stick some batteries in it if all else fails. Although 90% of the time the solar power is all you should ever need, if you will routinely keep this in a rather dark place, or happen to be lost out in the savage wilderness someplace with this radio in a continuous cloud cover, be ready to do a whole heap of crankin'. All in all, its finally nice to see a very reasonably priced unit that is solar powered and of a very quality build and design as well. I highly recommend the Eton for a portable unit that can be taken anywhere easily, powered effortlessly, and gives quality performance all in one package....

RCA SPS3600 Kitchen Radio with CD Player and MP3 Docking Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Looks nice coming out of the package. Five stars for appearance. No idea about battery life, durability, all that other jazz. I mean, how durable does an under-cabinet radio need to be? You're not going to put it over your stove are you? You didn't, did you? Oh my. Either way, the first thing we did was install it. Probably should've tested it first. Hindsight. It's 20/20. Plugged in my IPod to the "docking station" which is really just a simple output to the receiver, and it sounded like one of those track and field P.A. speakers from back in the olden days. The ones that make everyone sound like a Charlie Brown teacher if you're over ten feet away. All tin and treble, no bass. Thought perhaps after a while that it's just that auxiliary input... I'll try a CD. Err. Wrong. Didn't even try the FM receiver capability. This thing was installed yesterday and is going back today. Boo hiss, RCA. I am greatly disappointed. Especially now that I have four holes in my cabinet and nothing to show for it.

You can also listen to your favorite CD or radio station. Use the clock and timer functions to bake a cake or roast a turkey. It includes a magnetic remote control so you can store it on your refrigerator for easy access.

MP3 Shower Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before you buy this just know that it's cheap. It is made of cheap plastic, and under no circumstances trust your iPod in it not to get wet and get ruined. Also be aware that it DOES NOT FIT ALL iPods!!!! I have a 30 gig iPod and I cannot get it in there all the way because the wire that connects into the head set plug stops it from setting in correctly, which in turn stops me from putting in the bottom cover. Those little lights are a joke also. All in all I would have rather paid a little more money for a better built one. Also you can not navigate through your songs once you have put it in the radio. This thing is just all around CRAP!!!
