At first glance, I found this product to be somewhat below my expectations. After removing it from the package I was quite surprised to see how bright the flashlight was. Next, tried the alarm, which was more than adequate. Then, turned the radio on. Here the product fell just a little short. Reception depended on where you stood, but it still worked. The amazing part was the cell phone adaptor. Hooked it up and as I used the crank the cellphone's display showed it was being charged! The handcrank was very sturdy and didn't have that "junk" feeling. All in all, I highly recommend this unit, you'd be foolish not to have one.
