FosPower Emergency Weather Radio (Model D9) 14800mWh Power Bank, NOAA/AM/FM/Shortwave, Bluetooth 5.4, USB/Solar/Hand Crank Charging, Flash Light, SOS Alarm, IPX3 Rating for Indoor/Outdoor Emergencies

This radio is handy. No emergencies yet, of course. Good size. Easy to use. I like the color. Case is nice. Does what it should.

I was looking for a portable weather radio for camping/bug out and initially was going to get a Midland ER210 but a helpful amazon reviewer pointed out it can't charge anything but an iPhone 11 or earlier. I wanted the option to be able to trickle charge a phone or other modern device from the radio. Midland support confirmed it cannot do that for later phones.Initially, I could not get this radio to charge my iPhone 15 Pro Max either, but FosPower replied with the following steps:"1. unplug everything from the radio2. set the SOS switch to the center position and turn the radio off if it is not already3. Turn the radio on and find a clear radio station in AM or FM, let it play for a second or two4. Switch to Bluetooth mode and set the SOS switch to the charging position5. Connect the phone to either output portIf this solves the issue, then steps 3 and 4 should suffice without needing to unplug any cables. Let us know your results."This worked and my iPhone 15 will charge from the type A USB port but not from the type C port (which is fine by me). After this "initialization" the radio will charge the phone no matter what position the Function Switch is set to and with the SOS switch set to either Off or Charging. Also works with the radio off.Overall seems like an excellent radio for size and function, with a few unnecessary features. The buttons are also impossible to read but usable once you know your way around.Pros:small sizelightweight, 12.6 ounces on postal scalewell builtcan be charge via solar, crank, or USBcan charge modern phonesgreat radio receptionCons:buttons very hard to readSOS alarm will play through earphone jack - cautionvolume control not too granularQuestionable features (YMMV):flashlightcompassbluetooth speakermicro SD card slotUseless feature (YMMV):white noise mode

This was a really great find, however I wish the solar and hand crank charge were a bit more efficent in the long run. The solar is much slower- which is to be expected but the hand crank makes you work for it! Otherwise it's really unique and good enough for emergencies and even leisure activities like gardening or having on hand for walks if you're a lady. Being able to listen to a good quality speaker matters in emergency situations for clear understanding and this has it! I would reccomend, especially for being alerted during hard weather times.

This device has a lot of features. It’s very compact and light enough to bring with you on a hike. I hate buying things just for emergency use, but after receiving it and testing it, this device can be used at any time. The Bluetooth speaker and portable charger are very useful for daily use.

Multifunctional item!

Its amazing!

One would not charge; the replacement will not hold a charge.

This radio is perfect because its small but does a lot. Besides the radio and flashlight there is also an SOS alarm and you can also charge your phone. There are multiple ways to charge this including solar, USB & hand crank making it perfect for power outages.
