Bob S. from Bushnell, FL
This product exceeds my expectations. It was easy to program for the counties that I wanted to include. I sounded an alert the other night when we were having severe storms. Buying the unit with the stand and a/c adapter was a plus. It also came with a belt clip for portable use.
Excellent value!!!!
Jacqueline H. from Titusville, FL
This is an excellent warning system!
Sally R. from Omaha, NE
I enjoy the portability of this product. It will be convenient to take with us on trips and along with us to the shelter when necessary, whereas a desktop model does not afford this portability. It was relatively easy to program for my area as well.
Larry D. from Texas
This radio is awesome! It is always accurate and turns off after 30 seconds of alerts. We love it!
Gregory B. from Atlanta, GA
This radio is easy to set up, and there should be no problems concerning battery life as with other brands due to a nice standby mode. I'd definitely recommend this radio to anyone looking for a quality, affordable weather radio.
Peter W. from Hockessin, DE
It is easy to set up, excellent reception and convenient to use at home plugged in or on a trip with AA batteries. An excellent product efficiently delivered by your site.
Alicia R. from Fogelsville, PA
This item fit our needs! We have a warehouse facility and needed to have a mobile weather radio that would be easily attached to a belt for our safety manager to utilize at all times. The perfect product!
Kandy A. from Nicholasville, KY
This is an excellent product! It came in time for Christmas, even though I ordered it at a time when it might not have made it. I am extremely satisfied!
Meghan C. from Detroit, MI
This product is wonderful! This will make me feel better while my boyfriend is fishing on big water. He will know what is going on with the weather at all time. The programming could have been designed differently. Besides that a great purchase!
Beth G. from Tallahassee, FL
I got this as a gift for my boyfriend. He really likes it and takes it with him when he travels. It was tough for him to figure out the different settings, but like I told him, "that's what instructions are for, maybe you should read them"! Nice quality item.
Jon C. from Washington, DC
Your website shipped my item quickly and the package arrived on time as described. The Radio works fine and I would purchase from you again.
Cheryl M. from Syracuse, NY
It was a gift for a relative who lives just outside the tornado alley area of Texas. She feels more comfortable about impending weather events having this instrument. Since she feels safer, so do I.
T S. from Silverado, CA
The radio is fine, but I live in a canyon area and the reception is poor so I don't know if I can depend on the alarm. I don't know if the non-portable radios pick up the channels better.
