Looks like a decent deal for a good price - probably not great quality - but what can you expect for 15 bucks

Fakespot Reviews Analysis >>> A
FYI Fakestop is fake (well, wrong most of the time).

Amazon giftcard reload has an "F" rating....."Insufficient reliable reviews"....just 71,013 reviews to pick from. Perhaps when they get to 75K reviews the algorithm will have enough to make a reliable judgement.

This just screams more clutter lol. Such a limited use now a days. Nothing beyond some kind of war breaking out will you need an emergency radio like this and even then the grid will probably be taken down by hacks or EMP and there is no use for this.

I live in the south and I've been through a few hurricanes and have gone without power for more than a week on a few separate occasions. Not once did i look for my crank radio because i had a cell phone the whole time lol.

I guess what im saying is if your that worried about some crazy emergency where you will be with out of power or a car for more than 12-24 hours you might be better investing your money into emergency rations or ammo lol.

I guess maybe if your an off the grid type of person but I would think you'd invest a little more than $15 on something like this if you're limited on space and need reliability.

My worthless 2 cents.

I just wonder if this thing will be reliable enough for me to use during the coming apocalypse.

Isn't really slick if it doesn't make through the purge.

Quote from omiii :
I couldn't get if I potentially could charge my phone by hand cranking this device? Is that possible? How much time would I be hand cranking this to charge my Note 20 to 100%?
You can generate about 5-15 Watts by hand cranking. (For reference, an exercise bike at a difficult setting is around 70-100 Watts. Most people can only sustain 100-150 Watts pedaling long-term. Professional cyclists up to about 350 Watts.)

Note 20 has a 4300 mAh battery. Timex 3.7 volts = 15.9 Watt-hours. So assuming you generate 10W hand cranking, it would take you 1h 35m to fully charge your Note 20's battery from 0% to 100%.

However, it looks like the crank in this sends power directly to the built-in battery, then you plug your phone into that to charge it. If that's the case, there's about a 30% energy loss from charging one battery, and using that to charge another battery. So now you're looking at 2h 15m of hand cranking to charge your Note 20. More if you don't crank at a consistent rate, causing the power and voltage you're generating to fluctuate so it has a harder time charging the battery.

People don't appreciate how easily we get energy from a wall socket. A better way to crank for power would be converting your exercise bike into a generator. However, that will increase how many calories you have to consume, and you may be on limited rations during a long-term emergency. The best way for most people is probably to charge your phone via your car's USB ports (get a cigarette lighter to USB adapter if you don't have one, preferably one which displays voltage). Run your car 30 minutes to top off its battery when the voltage starts to get low.

For really long self-sufficiency, some sort of battery pack like a Bluetti or EcoFlow combined with a solar panel would probably be best for modest amounts of power like charging your phone (Jackery is the bigger name, but they use non-standard solar panel plugs). But I consider those more appropriate for off-grid living with higher power draws (like a refrigerator and laptop). For most people in emergency situations, if you're gonna be without power long enough to run out of gas in your car, the guy who suggested food and ammo as the best things to stockpile is probably right.

I bought something similar to the deal and the batteries died after two years. Definitely wish I had heard this advice before I bought my cheapo version of this.

I bought one, I'll be returning it.

- Battery charge indicator doesn't seem accurate.

- Tuning requires incredibly precise motor control

- But the worst thing, whenever the batter charge indicator comes on it causes so much interference it can knock out completely or heavily distort the AM radio reception.

I'm not keeping an emergency radio that destroys its own reception.
