Supersonic Portable Radio 9 Band AM FM SW1-7 High Sensitivity Rechargeable SC-1082

Yes, our electricity just went out for about 8 hours, and I had just purchased this radio about a month before. The documentation stated that the radio would hold a charge for about 2 hours on the radio setting, so I tried that out and it was indeed the case. This is very convenient, as the only other radio I have had before this for emergency use at home was a crank radio. The casing seems a bit cheap, but it is the plastic that many things come in these days, so for the price, I think this is a great buy. The flashlight isn't extremely bright, but bright enough for home use in the dark. Also, it is very convenient to have a phone charger built in to the unit. Otherwise, we would have to use our car to charge our phone. Excellent radio for home emergency and casual use.

There is a lot of value for the money with this little radio. Not only is it respectfully sensitive and selective, receiving most of the significant stations I routinely seek out, the built in lamp is handy for all our spontaneous power outages. Further, it comes with a non-removable battery which is rechargeable by plugging the radio into standard A/C socket for about 6 hours. For its size, the audio is crisp and clean, best for talking shows. There is no tone adjustment, which would be extra nice during the times I have a USB drive plugged in to listen to tunes I recorded from my computer. Dave Cardillo "Deep Woods", TN
