    • Excellent emergency radio with great sound.
Style: Sidekick
This unit came as a surprise. I tried four different emergency radios and was unhappy with all of them. Prices range from $45 to $150. Features buried from set to set, but they all had one thing in common, lousy sound. They all strip away mids and lows to conserve battery power. The trade-off is just plain terrible sound. I figured I would have to live with that sound, but I was wrong. I tried one more emergency radio, and that is the Eton Sidekick. The first thing I noticed was the vastly improved audio quality over the other units I tried. Just flat-out great sound. Next thing I noticed was the excellent flashlight and panel light. They are really really bright, and can be dimmed. The radio reception is superb on all bands. The only issue is the selection buttons being a little hard to read under the solar cell panel. They are illuminated though, and after you use the radio for a short time, you memorize them anyway. The Bluetooth works great, as does the S.A.M.E. and NOAA alert systems. Battery life is good and you can charge them my USB, solar panel, or crank. You can charge your phone or tablet with this device. It has many other features that make this an excellent choice for home, or when camping. ... show more

    • Full featured Camping or Home Emergency Radio
Style: Sidekick
This is a super handy, full featured camping or ho e emergency radio. The unit has many cool features like bluetooth, S.A.ME. alert technology, Weather broadcast channels, as well as a hand crank charger, solar cell changer and a USB port for charging your cell phone. Not to mention a 3 lights, and AM and FM radio with memory chanels. Some of theses features I was unaware of when a purchased the radio. The first thing I tried was bluetooth. It connected instantly to my iPhone and the play/pause worked flawlessly. Another cool feature in BT mode was the tuning knob. It scrolled through you songs. The speaker was surprisingly strong. The ambient light is a cool feature. It lit up my desk surprising well. The red and white lights worked as well as my cellphone light. A good way to conserve you cell phone battery while camping. The Weather Band was super easy for me to set up. Press the WB button and scroll through the channels. I found my local WB broadcast within seconds. There wasn't severe weather at the tie of the review, so I cold not test the WB alert, but the concept is cool. I did some battery charging experiments with my cellphone at an 18% charge level and the Sidekick at a fully charged level. In 15minutes the charge on my phone increased 6%. That seamed to be consistant for every 15 minutes as after an hour the Sidekick added 24% to my battery. I did not try any internal battery charging experiments with the hand crank or the solar panel, but the user manual says the solar panel will fully charge the internal battery in 14-16Hrs. Another interesting feature is the S.A.M.E. emergency alert technology. The unit allows you to preset up to 25 different counties in your areas, or maybe different areas you may be interested in. The radio will alert you when there are emergencies broad cast by NOAA or the Emergency Alert System (EAS) in the counties that you have selected. Until I purchase this radio I was unaware of this broadcast service. I went onto Wikipedia to get the full explanation of the technology and the broadcast system. I will probably get another one of the radios to keep at my house. Finally, the manual was extremely well written and clear. I was so happy to see this. A lot of times when I get a device with many technical features the manuals are written poorly in broken English. ... show more

    • Disposable device without user replaceable antenna, battery door weakness, and poor FM reception
Style: Odyssey
Update: I exchanged for a different unit. The replacement FM reception was good for 95.9 without the antenna extended. Keeping the replacement even with the antenna design flaw and battery door weakness. Having this is better than nothing at all. The concept is great and the package is overall put together very well. However, during the end times or unrest, I do not think this is will make it in the long run. Pros: - Rechargeable battery that comes with it is end-user replaceable. - Compact design that isn't too small and well put together. To clarify my cons: - Even when fully extended, the radio reception was marginally improved. I tried a local NJ station 95.9 which should have worked fully extended. It faintly came in. This applied to a lot of other FM stations that should have come through. At the bare minimum as a campsite radio, FM music should have worked. AM was fine extended but faintly came in while retracted. NOAA worked without antenna extended. Nothing on the SW regardless of antenna position. - Even worse, the antenna does not appear to be end-user replaceable. My prior SW models had an antenna that can be unscrewed and replaced. This does not appear to be the case. - The battery compartment is held on with a very fine Phillips screw that started stripping after first use inserting the AAA lithium batteries. Not sure how many cycles of open / close this door will last. There is a very high level of tension on the battery cover which makes it more challenging. It is best to replace the batteries with the solar panel on a table or flat surface versus holding in your hand. A better approach to the battery compartment would have been a tool-less mechanism to open with much less tension. ... show more

    • It does so many things
Style: Sidekick
This is an extremely versatile weather radio and it is compact too. Radio, cell phone charger, flashlight, radio, weather radio and more! A couple of the functions are a bit tricky to get to toggle back and forth such as the regular radio and the weather band radio but the multitude of functions make it worth it! The SAME technology was easy to set. ... show more
