5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta Have Gadget!, March 17, 2001

My husbamd just had to have this radio. We live in an area where the power goes out all the time. We're also big campers and we thought this would be a good radio to travel with. It is self-powered so all you have to do is wind it up. It does take a lot of winding (the only drawback) so you wouldn't want it for everyday use but it is great in emergencies.

My son (5yo) has this radio and loves cranking it up. (It takes regular batteries when you don't feel like making the extra effort.) Also it's not truly battery free since the crank actually powers up some rechargable batteries that do eventually need to be replaced. It's handy to take along to the pool, camping trips or just to have around for an emergency. However, I wouldn't bother getting headphones as an accessory for this radio since it doesn't have a jack.
