About this deal

A lighted digital LCD display and presets let you dial in your preferred stations quickly and accurately, and the auto-scan feature finds the clearest stations for you.

The RunningSnail is sturdily built and offers excellent battery life with multiple charging options, including a reliable crank generator. It’s also more durable against water and drops, and it’s more convenient and comfortable to carry, than most other emergency radios we tested. E., is a technology that transmits a digital code along with the alert that corresponds to a specific county.For example, sound quality isn’t important during a disaster, so long as voices are easily understandable. SAME alerts can be especially useful if you live in an area that’s prone to certain extreme weather events and you don’t want to be bothered with other warnings from the standard NOAA alert system, which can get annoying with enough frequency. Common to all emergency radios is the need to maintain power as long as possible in times of power failure. But ER300 is also a powerful powerbank with USB port able to recharge all portable electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, BT intercom equipments, XTC action cameras, mp3…), everywhere and without the need of a main socket. I simply left them outside to see how quick they could charge and evaluated who’s battery charge went up the most.

With great radio reception, NOAA early-warning notifications, and a hand crank that effectively revives it, the ER310 is a durable, compact radio that doubles as a flashlight and charging station. From a basic outlook, most emergency radios come with FM, AM, and weather band radio, allowing users to get updates from the media and emergency broadcasts in certain situations. When the weather does hit, an SOS alarm with a flashing red light lets others know that you need help.Finally, we tested each radio’s resilience by dropping it into a running shower to simulate getting caught in the rain and then dropping it onto a concrete surface from 5 feet above to see if anything broke. For the next part of our evaluation, we left the models running, with their radios and any flashlights on to drain their batteries.

Also, the loop on the end makes it easy to fix onto a backpack and lets the solar panel soak up the sun during a hike. ER300 has multiple power sources: the dynamo crank placed on the rear side of the product – that allows the manual recharge during a power outage or anytime away from a power source -, the solar panel that recharges the internal Li-Ion 2200mAh battery pack or simply rechargeable batteries. Like the Midland ER310, the RunningSnail MD-090P also has one of the rare hand generators that work as advertised: One minute of cranking produces enough energy for 30 minutes of light or six minutes of radio. For anyone looking to get additional accessories or to use their radio for outings like a camping trip, multiple radios have features like Bluetooth and charging capabilities to make it a great device for the backcountry as well. Smaller and lighter radios will have 850-1,000 mAh, which will provide enough for shorter emergencies or camping trips when used sparingly.The RunningSnail also comes with a convenient reading light, mounted underneath the panel, that’s just bright enough to be useful in a dark room without disturbing anyone around you. I have had only one, thank you Lord, occasion to use this in an emergency situation and it worked flawlessly. If you want to save a little money, and you don’t mind sacrificing a headphone jack or dedicated weather alerts, the RunningSnail MD-090P is a great alternative to the Midland models. The extra bells and whistles of an emergency radio may seem gimmicky at first, but considering the uncertain and unpredictable nature of weather and natural emergencies, they can be extremely useful when the time comes. For folks that live in areas that are often frequented by tornados or other severe weather, the Midland WR210 is a wise choice.

Secondly, they work in areas where your phone may not have a signal and could warn travelers about current and upcoming weather conditions. When it comes to weather reception, the Midland walkies receive the entire suite of stations nationwide, and incorporates a weather-alert functionality that will get your attention if there’s a NOAA Active Alert. It has all the same perks of the ER310, including weather-band radio reception and blaring NOAA weather alerts, as well as a bright flashlight, a headphone jack, and multiple charging options.Whether it’s finding great products or discovering helpful advice, we’ll help you get it right (the first time). The simple device does exactly what it’s meant to do, keep you informed and safe during severe weather like flooding, wildfires, and hurricanes. It lets you listen to AM/FM radio and all seven NOAA weather channels, with an automatic scan feature that finds the strongest weather channel to get emergency information for your location. Most weather radios pick up AM/FM radio, too, so yours can come in handy on your next camping trip, say, if you want a portable entertainment device that doubles as a backup battery (and you don’t want to worry about streaming-data caps or LTE reception).
