 Great bang for the buck October 12, 2008

If you are thinking about getting this just go ahead and do it. It is very inexpensive and it is not flimsy. The radio sounds clear, the crank is fairly well made, and it holds a charge well. The only negative comment I have to make is that you have to hunt for an adapter for the power output.
Very useful July 16, 2010

I've been wanting to do this review for months. I purchased this flashlight in 2008 and in 2010 I still use it for small uses here and there. The nice thing is it does not need replaceable batteries.
The light is is bright when on high enough to see things and low also brightens things up well. Also used it at night on various occasions to look at the car motor and just search for general things at other times. I have also used it for book reading at night by placing it on my shoulder. It uses 5 LEDs on high and 1 LED on low.
We had a power outtage on the east coast a few months back that lasted 3 to 5 days depending where you where as the storms took out trees and left three states not having power to alot of customers. I grabbed this flashlight and realizing I had no other radio with batteries I used this and started listening for news on AM radio to see if I was the only one, since my house is an isolated area I had no idea if anyone else was affected. For the next few days I kept this flashlight by my side and would turn it on once in awhile to listen to news reports it was practically my only link to the world and it served me well.
Nice features about this light are that is has, built in radio. Reception works by turning it in different directions and using the knob, works nicely. The light has 2 settings low and high. It has buzzer built in siren sound that can be used to attract attention for very short distance.
Other: The built in slot of charing USB devices I believe that has to bought from the company as a seperate piece. I did drop it once or twice and the volume knob just kinda fell out but it was easy to put it back in. I read someone here saying something about a metal pin sliding out, on my unit I've turned the crank hundreds of times probably and it has no metal pin not sure if something has changed since I bought it. I do wish it had more protective rubber around it and even rubber buttons.
Overall I recommend this product for those who wish a to keep a quick use flashlight in an emergency or just put in your drawer or car glove box. Gets 5 stars for being useful when I needed it.

the flash light is awesome. it's bright and easy to charge. it's much better than the shake flash lights b/c it's easier and takes much less effort to charge it up. the charge does seem to last a long time though i haven't measured the time specifically. the design is pretty nice too. the radio does work well but it could be tough to find some of the stations. the dial is small and tuning is not very granular.
Very, very pleased January 3, 2008

Extremely lightweight, easy to carry. Flashlight is surprisingly bright, radio works very well. Easy crank, even a child could use. (Don't be caught in an extended emergency and discover the batteries have died.) Didn't expect much for the very reasonable price, so this was a nice surprise. Highly recommend.
bright flashlight, clear radio all in a convienent package May 30, 2008

great flashlight/radio/siren combo, easy to crank, bright and has good sound. can convienently stand up on its own, fits into you hand, pocket or bag comfortably. will likely be getting plenty more of them for gifts. it's the best of its kind i found on the market and have been entirely pleased with it thus far. the radio functions well with hardly any cranking the flashlight needs just a bit more and is brighter than another model i'd been given.
