PRUNUS J-369 11100mWh Emergency Weather Radio NOAA/AM/FM

I was expecting something that felt super cheap - i was pleasantly surprised. The Prunus J-369 weather radio has the option to use AA batteries while still having a rechargeable battery inside. To be clear, the AA batteries won't charge your phone - only the built in battery bank will. The weather band frequencies come in clearly, as do the am and fm bands. The solar panel will not charge this unit in any reasonable amount of time, but it can trickle charge the unit over a long period. The hand crank is the more reliable option. The reception is very good for a radio of it's size, and the unit overall is extremely easy to use. Another great feature is the reading light, which sips the battery and provides just enough light to work by in an emergency. Overall, i love this little emergency radio for the AA battery option. Every other feature is just a bonus.

I have just checked it to make sure it works. So far its good and doesn't sound bad. I had another radio from this company and that's why I chose to buy this radio. I used the other radio from this brand daily for several months and gave it to someone who also used it a lot and it's still working. I haven't had good luck with other radios of this type so hopefully this one will do better. I'll update this review if it fails.

GRRREAT PORTABLE RADIO👍 Small, lightweight, EXCELLENT RECEPTION USING THE CRANK ONLY‼️ U don’t have batteries to charge—-CRANK IT OR USE SOLAR PANEL🤩Yipes‼️ SOS SIGNAL is very LOUD, 😱‼️ Also, I’m CHARGING MY IPHONE ON CRANKING NOT BATTERY😱👍. GOOD INSTRUCTIONS and FEATURES. FANTASTIC LITTLE RADIO, especially the CRANK🥰 This is A MUST HAVE for house, backpack, carry one when hiking and in vehicle👍 I LUVVVV THIS LITTLE RADIO❣️❣️❣️🥰

Hand crank doesn’t really seem to charge it, other than that, no complaints.

So far this appears to be a nice little emergency radio. I bought it because my old Radio Shack emergency radio finally bit the dust. (Radio Shack is no longer in business.) I have no illusions that the solar-charger on the top of the radio will really do any amount of decent charging but the rest of the features seem to work reasonably well. I was able to charge up the internal lithium battery with the included cable and a 5V wall charger I had lying around, and the radio worked off of the internal battery. It also worked off of AA batteries when I installed them. (Be sure to switch from L-ion to AA when using AA batteries.) I also was able top off charging my cell phone using the internal battery when it was charged up. Again I have no illusions that the radio internal battery would be able to fully charge an charge empty cell phone with either its internal battery or the charging crank, but it hopefully should be able to charge a phone up enough so that it could be used in an emergency to call for help. Perhaps someone would have to continuously charge the phone with the crank so that someone else would be able to have a long enough phone conversation to give emergency responders their location and problem. I ended up purchasing a separate table radio for home use that can work off of both an AC wall plug and D batteries with no Weather band channel so as to keep the little Prunus Emergency Radio always on stand by for emergencies. I did a lot of searching and research before deciding upon an emergency radio and all in all, so far, I think purchasing this little Prunus emergency radio was a good choice for my needs without breaking the bank.

good item for emergencies

Everything is good about this be sure to get the orange and black one it’s the cheapest my friend bought one and he loves it too. The quality of the build is great too and its charging options work great too. Size is perfect. Weather radio. And sound quality great. Even sos a little too powerful.

I tried every aspect of the radio and everything worked great I was so impressed that I had my father buy one he loves it too

Hola la he comprado tras el apagon que tuvimos en españo a finales de abril que me dejo totalmente incomunicada y sin noticias. El volumen es mas que suficiente, que habia quejas de modelos con bajo volumen. La elegi por lo versatil que es en sus tipos de carga. La tango cargada y guardada, si hay suerte no la tendre que utilizar nunca

Muy completo, con todo tipo de fuentes de energia y todo tipo de complementos para un apagon

Muy fácil de maneja y pequeña para llevar en la mochila de viaje je o en la guantera del coche etc...

Aparantemente completa, a falta de ver su alcance en el campo

Que es muy bueno comprar en Amazon productos de calidad
