5.0 out of 5 stars A truly "Green" radio in the color red (blue or black)., December 11, 2007

This review is from: Kaito KA009 4-Way Powered Emergency Radio, Color Red (Electronics)

Kaito Electronics is a company to watch as they climb to the top. I was looking for a radio that works during emergencies, when there's no power. This little radio does so much more. Works on Solar, or by dynamo if you don't want to plug it in, or even if you don't want to use batteries, it has it's own internal NiMH battery charged by the Sun or your own cranking. This radio is truly portable and very convenient to carry. The reception is great and I wish all radios were made to this standard. It even has a super bright LED flashlight built right in! I originally bought 2 of the KA-009 radios in red. One for me, one for a present. After receiving the radio (super fast delivery to Hawaii) I realized I thought I was buying the one that allows you to charge your cell phone. That's the KA-009R. After speaking with Kaito Electronics they were very nice and exchanged the radio(I had to take care of the shipping). Unfortunately the KA-009R recharging radio only comes in black. I say this because I'm not one of those people who loves the color red, but after having the Red KA-009, I fell in love with it. It's not just red, it's a really cool candy apple red with metal flakes in the paint, like you'd see in a really expensive car paint job. I can't say enough about this product, I usually don't have the time to write recommendations, but this product is worthy. A well made product, and a great price, easy on the ears and wallet. This product(and a lot of others made by them) are truly "Green" products that are friendly for the environment. You won't find a product like this one anywhere else in the world yet, with the quality and price. It is very versatile and super light to carry. I take mine with me everywhere, and you should too. Every household should have one or more of these, great for emergencies and during non-emergencies. A must have, keep one in your car.

Have used this already-since received 2weeks ago-
-pick up is great without the additional aerial.
Love the red---have not tried the solar power yet, but the crank, battery, direct current all worked well the light is handy also if power is out....

Would buy again....

This is one of the best emergency radios in it's price range and I've tried many. We use it for our emergency kits. Product works beyond my expectations as stated my manufacture and price can't be beat.
