Hammer

Decent Unit with good capabilities for a good price

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2017

Color: RedVerified Purchase

I'm quite pleased with this little unit. It may not be perfect, but it's only twenty bucks, so it gets five stars. Amazon says it has a 1000 mAh power bank, but the included manual says it's 1200 mAh. I would estimate it's between 1000 and 1100 mAh.

Overall impressions:

The flashlight is not real bright, but good enough for most general tasks in the dark. There are no brightness or flash modes, just simply on or off.

The radio works well enough - the volume goes up very rapidly with the volume control - at 10% of the way, it's already quite loud. I haven't tried it all the way up. The tuning is quite sensitive (tuning changes quickly with slow turning of the dial), but not too sensitive to be able to tune to stations when you're careful. Sound quality is thin and bright, but who cares - this isn't for music listening. There is no headphone jack. The antenna works fine for FM and Wideband, it's kind of short, but helps with reception.

The charging crank turns fine, but it takes work to do so. One minute of cranking makes my hands tired and a bit sore. Five minutes of cranking is alot of work! Part of the problem is that it is hard to find a good place to hold the unit while cranking without having to grip it harder than you should have to. Also, the knob that you hold on the crank is somewhat small. But for a minute at a time it's all fine.

You can charge the unit via USB with the included cable, which is definitely the easy way to accomplish that. You can also charge external devices from the internal battery. I don't know the output current that it provides, but it charges my iPhone 5. More details below.

I made a few tests for your info:

With the unit completely drained, I cranked 130 revolutions (about 1 minute) and then turned on the flashlight. The first 20 minutes shone normally, then started to get dimmer and dimmer. But it kept shining. And shining. And shining. Finally, after over 9 hours of constant dim light I turned on the radio at the same time and very shortly everything went out. Who knows how much longer it would have shone on. Bear in mind almost all of those 9 hours were very dim light, but in total darkness, still very useful to not trip on things when pointed at your feet and do normal tasks when pointed at what you're doing. Good for emergencies.

Then with the unit completely drained again, I cranked 130 turns and then turned on the radio. With moderate volume, it played for 12 minutes before dying.

How about charging phones? I have a rather old iPhone 5. With the flashlight completely drained, I cranked 1300 turns (10 minutes) - no small feat! Then I plugged in my phone to charge from the unit. It added about 2% to my phone battery before it stopped charging. I then placed a phone call (all with no cellular data, wifi, or location services on, and in low battery mode). My call lasted for 5-6 minutes until those 2% had been used. Bear in mind that my phone battery is not what it used to be so your mileage my vary.

I also tested the capacity by charging the unit fully via USB. I'm not sure how long that took, but for sure less than 6 hours. Then I charged my iPhone 5 (again with the battery saving settings in place). It raised my phone battery level by 75% before it stopped charging. That took just over an hour.

Another thing I tested: with the unit fully discharged, I connected my phone and started cranking. While cranking it was providing charge to my phone.

I haven't specifically tested the solar charging, but I did set it in the sun and it looked to be charging. Actually, even under bright indoor lights it shows as charging.

Coree

it was pretty worthless. So I’m changing my rating for 5 ...

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018

Color: RedVerified Purchase

When I first got product it seemed to work really well. I was without power for 15 hours yesterday thanks to a storm so I figured I would really try this product out. The solar charging did not work at all. You have to crank it a lot to even get the radio to stay on for a few minutes and it would charge my phone for about 10 seconds then stop. Needless to say, it was pretty worthless. So I’m changing my rating for 5 stars to 1 star. I am extremely disappointed in this product.

Does not Hold a Charge

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018

Color: RedVerified Purchase

Update:

So within 24 hours a representative from Running Snail was in contact with me, and within seven days I had a replacement one delivered to my house free of charge. This flashlight was in full working condition. I'll put it in the closet and test it in another six months. I can't vouch for the quality of their product as of yet, but they do have outstanding customer service.

- - - -

I bought this as part of my hurricane preparedness kit. Out of the box it worked just fine; cranked it up and the battery worked, as did the flash light. Six months later I take it out of the closet again and I crank it up and it doesn't hold a charge. If I turn the light or radio on while cranking it'll flicker for a moment or two, but after that it goes completely dead. I tried winding it strait for five minutes and nothing.

Thankfully I re-tested this before ever having an emergency. Relying on a poor product like this in an emergency situation could be disastrous, or even life threatening.

Fantastic emergency radio and USB charger at a great price, must have for car and emergency kit!

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2017

Color: RedVerified Purchase

Bought this to add to emergency kit and tested it out when I received. Very, very pleased with this compact little unit! Seriously everyone should have one in their car- if your car battery dies and you can't charge your cell on it, this will give you plenty of charge to call for help. I plan to bring when camping, too. Only 5" long, great item to add to survival backpack, keep in car, and at home for emergencies. Simple and inuitive to use which is good in an emergency situation. After prepping the battery with 3-5 min of cranking I tested the light, radio, and USB charger. After testing all those things I was still able to charge my iphone from 75% to 92% on that initial crank and it didn't take abnormally long. The flashlight works fine and the radio works great on WB for NOAA station and on FM. For some reason AM reception is a little scratchy static-y, though pointing antenna in to find best signal helps. Also the dial tuning makes it easy to find a signal, plus there is a signal light that comes on when you find the best signal. Awesome! The unit is a bit hard to hold when cranking as you can't wrap your fingers around the unit when cranking or crank will hit fingers. Best way seems to be to hold upright on the edge of a surface (table, knee, etc) and secure with one hand pressing down and cranking with the other.

Due to coupon promo on this unit, I also purchased the MD-093 unit in red from Runningsnail which is larger and heavier, with a bigger battery, clock with screen display(also displays radio station), and metal clip to hang from a belt. This unit was more complicated and didn't seem to work, had to read directions several times and finally figured out you need to switch the small switch on bottom from AAA to LI-ION. Not good in an emergency, especially if someone needs reading glasses and doesn't have them with them in emergency situation. I prefer the 088 because it is smaller, easier and more intuitive to use, and seems to receive AM signal better than the 093. Also the 093 has button tuning instead of a dial which makes it much harder to find a signal as you need to stop at every station to see if there is signal, whereas with dial you can listen for signal while turning dial. Plus there is no tuning light on the MD-093. The 093 includes a micro USB cable and iphone adapter which fits my 5SE, which is nice but does not outweigh the the negatives. I was afraid the smaller 088 unit wouldn't charge well enough but it will be adequate. I ordered both to decide which I like best before ordering more, and while I am not returning the 093, I will be buying more of the 088's.

Be smarter than me, get this before you need it

Reviewed in Canada on October 8, 2018

Color: RedVerified Purchase

When tornadoes hit Ottawa recently we were without power for 2 and a half days. We quickly realized that unless we wanted to sit in a running car, we didn't have a radio and didn't have a way to charge our phones. We also didn't have very many good flashlights. This device solves all those problems.

We got it yesterday and I used it a bit today. The LED flashlight is really bright and local radio comes in clear. The crank is easy to use and it is easy to plug in to my phone to charge it. You can also plug this device into the wall using a phone charger to keep it charged until you need it. Hopefully we won't have to use it for an extended period any time soon, but I am really glad we now have it.

Good little radio for when the power goes out

Reviewed in Canada on November 21, 2018

Color: RedVerified Purchase

Edit: 14 March 2019:

Running Snail Customer Service reached out to me and offered to refund/replace the radio based on my review. I politely declined.

I just want to make it clear that the radio/flashlight/charger works well as-is but with a design review/feature "fine tuning" (no pun intended, see my review below) the product will only get better.

....................................

The feature set is nice. Super easy to operate.

Only gripes are the flashlight with its big dark spot in the center of the beam pattern and the selectivity of the tuner (ability to discern and tune into various stations) makes station selection "interesting", to say the least.

Otherwise, I'm happy with it.

Yes i bought this hand crank radio for my son, and I'm glad I did. Now he listen to it everyday. He listen to the news, music and commercials. Ever since he got this radio, he plays in the dark with the flashlight, he hand cranks it to charged. Even better he use less time on his iPad and phone. Back to basic maybe it's better for the kids then giving high tech items all the time.
Now let's talk about the radio, as mention it's a charged with a hand crank, solar or light, and plug in charged, 3 ways to charged to your likings. Radio reception it's very good, standard AM or FM, built in flashlight (very bright). Love it... Bring it along in your next camping trip, it could be fun and helpful. Hope you find interest in my review, if you good give me a like.....

Final review. April 2, 2019
The second radio works 100% after a couple weeks using it. VERY pleased and will most likely order another as a Christmas gift.

Third review:
REALLY GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!
About one week after sending my second email, I have the new radio in my hands. I charged it using the USB port and IT WORKS! The problem with the other one must have been the cord. I'll pursue that as I did not have to return the old phone.

Second review; after several weeks:

UPDATE: March 10, 2019 The company says a replacement is on its way!

SO DISAPPOINTED.
For a few days this radio was everything I wanted; but after charging it using the USB drive it stopped working completely. I emailed the company over a week ago, but no reply.

First review: I just purchased this, so can't yet comment on battery life. As for durability, it certains seems durable. The sound is great for such a small item. Extremely pleased and will probably order another one or two as gifts next Christmas.

Well, I bought this lamp on October 2018 in case of power failures due to ice storms. I’ve never took in outside it’s box until last week on the eve of an actual ice storm. This is when I discovered that is wasn’t functioning. It won’t keep any charge. It will work only when you are cranking it or when it is plogued. I’ve tried three different cables and left it to charge a few days since and nothing... $30 paid for nothing. If you buy one, make sure you try it before the warranty expired.

Perfect for an emergency kit.

Reviewed in Canada on February 21, 2019

Color: RedVerified Purchase

Received the unit today. Very pleased. Three way power (solar, crank and USB charging) is great. The flashlight is basic but functional. The radio seems to have decent reception and it sounds fine. It reminds us of those old transistor radios from the 60s and early 70s - kinda nostalgic. Phone charging is an added bonus - even comes with an apple lightning adapter. The small form factor is perfect for an emergency kit.

Can’t comment on longevity or battery life because this went into our emergency kit as soon as we charged it.

Bought this for emergencies. I received the product a few days ago and have tried out all the features. Decent flashlight. Radio tuner isn’t very precise (doesn’t pick up my favourite radio station) but for emergencies, it will do. After fully charging using wall outlet USB adaptor, it only charges my iPhone about 30%, but I suppose for emergencies, it’s ok. I have power banks, so I won’t be using the product primarily for charging my phone.

Good for offgrid living like me

Reviewed in India on October 18, 2019

Color: RedVerified Purchase

It is a sturdy product with good light and radio. Solar and hand crank charging too is quite effective. Further, the inbuilt battery gives around full day of radio functioning. The radio has manual tuning which needs patience to tune it. Sound quality of radio is good. The only problem is that there is no third NOAA weather band. The AM/ FM band switch is not of good quality and is difficult to switch over. Further, the torch light switch is very sensitive and the torch gets activated accidentally at times. Over all the item seems to be of good quality Chinese one. There is no name or item desription on the item except on the card poard packing box.

One of my new years resolutions was to create a 72 hour kit and wind up radio was high on my list. This little guy is sooooo small and portable! It fits perfectly in any kit! The sound quality is good, the reception is good, and the wind up time if good too. I wasn't expecting it to have a USB charger on the side, which is amazing, as it will work to help keep life saving cell phones charged up during a black out. It also has a secondary small solar panel to help keep the charge up. Great buy!

I bought this for emergencies. Gives me peace of mind knowing that I don't need batteries and can just crank it up or use solar energy. I pulled it out after a few weeks in the box and the radio still works as well as the flashlight. I have not plugged in my cell phone into it yet, but knowing that I can is great! Radio sound quality is not that great, but for emergencies, I would just use for quick news updates, but you can get most of the major radio stations. Great for the price I got as a lightning deal.
