Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for emergencies, the versatile and reliable Eton FR400 is a hand crank power generator. It features a water resistant body and can receive power from four different sources: the built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery that takes its charge from the dynamo crank and from an AC adapter; three "AA" batteries; from the AC adapter alone or the dynamo crank alone. In times of emergency, the FR400 provides you with an emergency siren, a water resistant radio, LED lights, and a cell phone charger so you can contact help. Using the hand crank power generator, you can also charge the internal rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack in times of need. The Eton FR400 also gives you access to NOAA weather channels and TV-VHF channels 2-13, so you can listen to important information, weather forecasts and even television shows while away from the set.

 Good buy November 17, 2008

After the hurricane hit Houston this was a necessity for my family for over a week! Worked just as it was suppose to.
Does almost everything November 16, 2008

We started playing with this right away, even though it is really for our emergency kit. It is heavy duty and holds a charge real well. We could listen to TV or the radio. It has a goofy port for "charging your cell phone" that we can't figure out. Our cell phones don't hook up to that, and there are no directions. At all. You just open this and play with it. No directions at all. But we got one for each of our grown children too.
Just Right for the Price November 15, 2008

I originally bought a "Jeep" all weather radio for my husband for Christmas - I thought paying more might mean a better product; not so, the hand crank broke on 2nd use. I then ordered this one - my hubby loves it. It contains everything we would want for an emergency radio; we have no problems picking up any of the t.v., National or local stations. The light is sufficient for an emergency and the Alert would definitely get you out of bed. The only issue we have seen is that we had it on one night and the alarm went off for no apparant reason...If not for that I would have given it 5 stars. I think this is a must for any household that lives in a storm prone area (which seems to be just about anywhere now a days): I definitely feel comfortable going to bed if severe storms are predicted using this radio rather than spending the entire night watching the t.v. which is what I always did in the past...A good buy in my book.

Received this emergency radio several weeks ago, and I have used it several time since then (thank the Lord not in an emergency situation though!). It worked great out of the box. Did everything that was promised it would do. The only draw back is that I still have not received the cell phone adapters that I sent for when I received the radio. I guess it takes the company awhile to get them into the mail to me? Otherwise, a great emergency radio!
 Decent Product October 11, 2008
Tide in Texas (Houston, TX USA)
This is a good radio and I was glad I had it when my power was out for 9 days during hurricane Ike. However, I thought the sales description said you could pick up the audio of 13 local TV stations and that is not the case so that part was disappointing during the hurricane and I would have preferred TV news audio to radio news.
