Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The WeatherX RPS8807DT 200-Watt Portable Power System with Weatherband and AM/FM Radio is the first thing you should reach for in any emergency. The compact, always-ready Weather X RPS8807DT will make sure you have lights, a radio, power and more so you can see what you need to, find out what you need to, and power what you need to when your power goes out. This potentially life-saving unit should be in every home, garage, and car, and is easy to carry with you wherever you go.

The RPS8807DT provides you with an instant seven-channel NOAA weatherband receiver with alert functionality that automatically turns it on during an emergency broadcast. What's more, this radio includes a digital-tuning AM/FM radio with station presets so you are also not without entertainment. This unit features a cool, blue backlit LCD display that is easy to read at a glance under any lighting conditions, and includes a digital clock with a dual alarm, a thermometer and a compass.

The perfect companion in an emergency, the RPS8807DT also includes a triple fluorescent lantern with an emergency 'on' feature that automatically turns on during a power outage if you have it plugged in, so you don't have to go searching for it in the dark. Additionally, this unit has a built-in, 250 PSI air compressor with a two-inch air hose, gauge and nozzle attachment, as well as an emergency siren and a flashing light so you have whatever you need, whatever your situation. And just in case you have to leave the pack for a minute in the dark, the RPS8807DT comes with a removable, rechargeable five-LED flashlight that recharges its built-in NiMH battery pack when docked, and can operate on four AA batteries (not included) when used for extended periods.

The Weather X includes built-in stereo speakers that provides clear, sharp sound, and an auxiliary audio input for connecting peripherals such as a digital audio player. This unit also includes a 200-watt power converter with short circuit detection, and a 12-volt / 12-amp sealed lead-acid battery with an electronic level indicator. Ultimately flexible, the RPS8807DT can run on, and recharge its battery from, the included AC wall power adapter, or the included 12-volt DC vehicle power adapter. What's more, this unit has dual 120-volt AC outlets just in case, while its battery recharging circuit keeps it safe with built-in overcharge protection. The Weather X RPS8807DT weatherband radio has its own storage compartment for keeping track of the essentials, measures 13 x 10.25 x 7.25 inches (W x H x D), and is backed by a manufacturer's 90-day warranty.

What's in the Box
Weather X RPS8807DT radio with built-in lantern and removable flashlight, AC wall power adapter, DC vehicle power adapter, rechargeable 12-volt lead-acid battery, user's guide and warranty information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could be a lifesaver---, September 16, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: WeatherX RPS8807DT 200-Watt Portable Power System with Weatherband and AM/FM Radio (Electronics)
This system has lots of features and seems reasonably well-built. Radio reception is mediocre especially on the weather band which is a definite weakness but if you work with it, decent reception is possible. The unit is big and heavy but having a built-in power system necessitates a battery of this size. Otherwise, all features seem to work as advertised.

1.0 out of 5 stars Biggest rip off ever, June 29, 2009
This review is from: WeatherX RPS8807DT 200-Watt Portable Power System with Weatherband and AM/FM Radio (Electronics)
I'm on my third one, luckily the previous ones were under warranty.
First one was dead from the get go.
Second one would work but the charge indicator and the flashlight didn't.
Number 3 just died totaly except for a clicking noise.
Worst product I have ever bought.
Avoid this piece of ****.

This review is from: WeatherX RPS8807DT 200-Watt Portable Power System with Weatherband and AM/FM Radio (Electronics)
This item has a lot of features in a relatively small and compact unit. But (thankfully) I have not needed to use all these features. I did try the air compressor, which worked to inflate the tires on my bicycle. The lights are bright and the unit does have two AC outlets.

If everything works as advertised, then this is a great item at a good price!

We'll see.
