Meet the 2020 version of the emergency handcrank/solar radio.
When I saw “2020 Newest Emergency Crank Radio,4000mAh-Solar Hand Crank Portable AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio with 1W Flashlight & Motion Sensor Reading Lamp,Cell Phone Charger, SOS Alarm for Home and Emergency” listed on Amazon, I figured 'buy one and see what could be new. Actually, there is at least one feature I've never seen in a crank-solar charged radio before. First some info from the company: Based on RunningSnail MD-090 crank radio and customer's feedback, we've optimized and upgraded a lot of features in this MD-090P emergency weather radio. NOAA weather radio with 7 NOAA channels to get the latest weather and hazard information. The hand crank radio flashlight cell phone charger with a 4000 mAh li-ion battery, which charges more than one smartphone in the emergency. 4 Ways( Micro USB charge, Solar charge; Hand crank; Replaceable li-ion battery; ) to keep the hand crank generator on power. Flashlight radio with a super-bright 3 mode flashlight for any dark places you are in. Motion sensor reading lamp for you get up in the mid-night to avoid waking your family.
From The Giz Wiz: Although this radio has 7 NOAA radio stations it does not have NOAA Emergency Weather Alert (S.A.M.E. localized programming). That is available on weather radios in the higher $$ range and once programmed lets you know about storms, hazards in your area. The feature I never saw before on one these devices is the LED area light with an 'auto-on/off switch'. Perfect if you get in the middle of the night, the light goes on & stays on until motion stops. Then it shuts after 30 seconds later. It also has a push-button emergency button to attract attention with light and sound. This emergency gadget got excellent reviews on Amazon as of 8/28/20. It retails for under $30.
