Still works when the power doesn't
A hand-crank emergency radio that pulls AM, FM and all 7 NOAA weather channels, throws light, and charges your phone. Five ways to power it, so it never depends on the one thing an emergency takes away.
Storm knocks the grid out and a phone becomes a countdown timer. This does the opposite: crank it and it works. It tells you what the weather is actually doing, lights the room, and puts a charge back in the phone you're trying to save.
What you're getting
NOAA weather alerts
AM, FM, shortwave and all 7 NOAA weather channels. Leave it on alert and it sounds off on its own when a warning goes out for your area.
Five ways to power it
Hand crank, solar panel, the built-in rechargeable battery, 3 AAA batteries, or wall power. Run out of one and you still have four.
2000mAh power bank
A 5V USB output puts real charge back into a phone. The same battery runs up to 12 hours of light or 4 to 6 hours of radio.
Two lights and an SOS
A 3W flashlight for finding your way and a 1W reading lamp for staying put. An SOS alarm with a flashing red light if you need to be found.
Handles the weather
An IPX3-rated housing shrugs off rain and spray, which is the weather you're most likely to be listening in. Not built for submersion.
Fits anywhere you'd need it
5.6 x 3.0 x 1.8 inches and 0.66 lb, with a built-in compass. Small enough for a glovebox or a go-bag, not so small you lose it.

Where it earns its keep
- Storm season, when you need the forecast and the grid is the first thing to go
- The hall closet with the rest of the emergency kit, holding a charge for months
- The glovebox, where a dead phone and no signal is a genuine problem
- Camping and hunting trips well past the edge of cell coverage
- Anywhere a flashlight, a radio and a power bank would otherwise be three things to carry
What owners say
"I've had this for over a month, and it still holds a charge. The flashlight is bright, the NOAA radio comes in clearly, and it gives me real peace of mind."
Jeanne C. - verified customer"It has everything I wanted: solar charging, hand crank, flashlight, phone charging, and weather alerts. I'd definitely buy another one."
Patricia S. - verified customer"Small, easy to carry, and packed with useful features. I keep one in my car and another at home just in case."
Sandra T. - verified customer"This radio made me feel much more prepared during storm season. It's reliable, easy to use, and worth having for any emergency."
Debra H. - verified customerQuestions
Do I need batteries to use it?
No. It ships with a built-in rechargeable battery and you can always crank it by hand. The 3 AAA slot is a backup option and those batteries aren't included.
How much does cranking actually give me?
Enough for a burst of radio or light when everything else is flat. Treat the crank as the reserve that never runs out, and the solar panel and USB charging as the everyday top-up.
Will it warn me automatically?
Yes. Set it to the weather alert function and it monitors the NOAA channels, sounding off when an alert is issued rather than waiting for you to tune in.
