Nice, compact size. Easy to crank. Unfortunately, it is not very bright and the light doesn't last as long as advertised (it only lasted about 5-10 minutes and starts fading almost immediately). I have the Dorcy with only 3 bulbs and it lasts much longer and emits a much brighter, broader light.

This is one of the best buys I have made in ages. It gives me peace of mind to know that I won't suddenly have my flashlight go out because the batteries have died. I am so happy with this product that I have ordered two more. When I showed the flashlight to my brother-in-law, he was so impressed that he ordered two as well. My only minor complaint is that I have startled myself several times by accidentally setting off the siren!

good light for the price,it don't last long but it is still better than finding dead batteries in your flashlight when you need it.
my only complaint is the light was $7.99 and the shipping was$5.58 which made it not worth ordering in my opinion.i should have just bought one at a local store and saved $5.they shipped in a package 4 times larger than the package it already came in and filled it with bubble wrap so i paid for this huge box that was unnecessarily large.and the fact that i ordered over $200 worth of items and paid full shipping on everything makes me think amazon is going to be only used when i absolutely have to order from them.
kinda unhappy!
