2.0 out of 5 stars Cheap and Slightly defective, July 18, 2009

By	S. Townsend (Princeton, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had this for over a year now. I bought this to stash away in the closet as part of an emergency kit. Overall it works ok. The reception is a little questionable. The look and feel are sturdy but kind of cheap. My big complaint is that the volume dial which turns the radio on and dials up the volume the farther you go... does not work on mine. If you turn it on the volume is full blast no matter how much you turn the dial. The dynamo works good, that and the price are what made buy this radio. But looking back on it now i am willing to spend some money for something i expect to depend on in a bad situation where power might be out and i want to know whats going on.
So all in all i can't really recommend this radio to anyone. I don't believe it will stand up to regular use. And i don't trust it for an emergency radio as it is defective.
