My Father Was Impressed:
Bought a different brand for my husband on clearance and it works fine. My father liked the idea of the solar panel for days when he is sitting outdoors and expressed an interest in having one.

neato:
This was a gift for my 4 nephews, brother and husband- its pretty cool -I stole from my hubby and keep it in the window to solar charge.

Everything on the purchase and use is fine EXCEPT the online ad didn't clearly state that no power plug in for the radio is included - power sources are hand crank, solar batery and plug into USB in a computer. I had to search all over and call Eton to find an outlet plugin, which took another couple of hours and $5 more.
