Doesn't charge the iphone 3gs by S. Banks (Houston, Tx United States)

3 Stars
November 17, 2009
I bought this unit as it says it can charge USB compatible phones - clearly - today when you say a USB compatible phone you mean an iphone or a blackberry or a palm pre. I could NOT get this unit to charge the iphone 3gs at all. I try to crank it slow or fast but the iphone says its not compatible and the charging icon never shows up. Pretty disappointing. If you are buying this unit with a consideration to the phone charging, I would look elsewhere. Even if it did charge the iphone, it says in the manual that it would require 15 mins of cranking for a 1 minute phone call - ouch. Ok, I guess in an emergency thats better that nothing but still I could not get it to charge at all. I think you would be far better off when some rechargeable batteries and a charger that powers USB devices. Duracell makes a great one and it powers the iphone nicely. I think I will just keep this in the car. Pros: Nice and small, really tiny actually. Easy to keep in your car, etc. Radio quality was fine, its not meant to be a stereo. Flash light was actually pretty bright. 3 LEDs on the front. They are more than usable. Cranking the unit for about a minute powered the radio for easily 45 mins or longer. Solid, rugged construction. Cons: Doesn't charge the iPhone 3gs Manual says solar charging takes 8 hours in full sunlight for a 3 hours radio usage. Why have it at all then & save the cost? The crank is much easier & faster to use in this case. I guess the solar is just a "gimmick."

Good FM Reception; Clear (if not Hi Fi) sound by Badger (San Francisco)

I have an older, larger ETON radio. I was pleasantly suprised by this new, compact model. Yes, the tuning dial is compressed, but I was able to tune in the local PBS station after a bit of fiddling. That station is hard to get in my neighborhood without static; I had to buy an HD receiver to pull the signal in. This radio--though it's not HD--is static free. Better reception than my Freeplay wind up radio (though the sound on the Freeplay is a lot more natural.) And the sound--while by no means high fi--is very easy to listen to. Speech comes through very clearly. The winding handle feels solid. The rubberized coating of the radio is nice to hold. I haven't tried the solar cells yet, though my impression is you'd need very strong sun to run the rardio on it. Also: you can't run the radio on batteries or AC, but I suppose that's how they were able to make the thing so small.

Overall a good product. Flashlight is not the brightest but being able to charge it via handcrank makes it a great "kitchen drawer" emergency light and radio. The built in solar cell actually makes a case for keeping it on the windowsill so it will always be ready when you need it. Smaller than I originally imagined but in a good way. It's nice to use around the house knowing I'll never have to buy another battery... at least for this gadget.

Does not charge iPhone 3GS by Ken Andrews (Reston, Virginia United States)

This is a solid unit that works well with our iPod Touch but will not charge my iPhone 3GS unless you turn the crank at EXACTLY the right speed. This is something that I have only been able to do for a few seconds at a time which makes it useless for charging the phone.

nice compact design, radio tuner could be better by Kalpesh Sheth (Westford, MA USA)

I liked the small compact design with all necessary interfaces nicely tucked in corners. For price this low, I guess digital tuner can not be part of this, otherwise this is the best emergency radio I ever had. Sunlight charging and LED based light is very powerful indeed. Highly recommend it.
