Pretty good deal IMHO. Just in time for Isaias hitting Florida panhandle -- prayers with you if you are in that area.

how much energy can be reasonably be captured with the crank function? would you be doing this for 18 hours and break the handle off before charging a phone half way?

really cool for $20 I just don't want to buy an effective paperweight (difficult skill to master on slickdeals)

I had something similar like this before, the 5 min crank gives you like 5-10 min run time as needed. But this one has a battery so assuming you charge this normally and for emergency use, the battery will give you the x amount of run time, then your hand crank for when it's needed. It's not meant to charge it to use for hours.

Yellow one still works for me. Remember, you have to add it to your cart, go to the cart and add the code and chose a payment method. Only then will the discount show up.

I too had a less fancy one about 25 years ago. You don't need to hand-crank it for 18 hours. The idea is that you have it pre-charged as the disaster descends upon you. Then, if you are directly effected by the disaster (and still by chance have the radio), you have the ability to crank it for more juice every so often.

Mine lasted for about a decade before the lithium battery died off. But I also hardly ever used it (two big disasters here and a couple of tornado runs to the basement). It's handy and useful. Being a NOAA compliant, you may leave it plugged in and on if you have bad weather coming as it will notify you automatically. Phones and county/city warnings are great, if they go off correctly.

gone through a couple of these types of things and one I tossed out and other has been pretty disappointing. the solar never seems to work on these things. leave them where they can get natural sunlight but they never charge and when I go to use them they have zero juice. It'll cost more overall but think you'd be better off just buying separate tools that are reliable than something like this that has a ton of functions but lackluster. it's like buying a general first aid kit rather than just buying and building a first aid kit with stuff that you will actually use.
