Small convenient eco friendly radio.
Charges up in the sunlight on my kitchen windowsill. It can also be wound up or plugged into mains with USB cable. The sound quality isn't fantastic as it's a tiny mono speaker but it's adequate for my needs.

poor reception
the solar does not appear to charge the radio very well have had the radio charging in the window for approx 4 hours does not last after using every day for a month the reception is poor to the point of only picking up radio one other stations reception lost unless holding the radio or standing near the unit this defeats the purpose have moved the radio around rooms to no effect would not buy another waste of £15.99 expensive lesson to learn winding for one minute gives an approx 12-15 mins use depending on volume can only have volume less than 50% or sound is very distorted have bought a cheap pocket radio which takes 2 x aa batteries

Good volume for its size
I've had a few solar/wind up radios of other makes over the years with which this compares quite well. Sound is not bad for its size, the winding handle has smooth, easy action and all in all I'm happy with it. The notable design fault is having the solar panel sloped toward the same side as the speaker, so when it's charging in the window the sound is projecting away from you.

superb little radio.
i use this radio in my car every day. it is superb for the money i paid for it, it is not a bosse system so dont expect it to be as you are not paying thousands for it. it is small and compact and the features are very good - 3 charging options, solar, wind up or mains. i use mine via solar panel, battery and usb connection and its fantastic. the tuner is very tight so it does not loose the set station. my only gripe about the radio is that if you use it whilst it is in the window for solar charging then the speaker is facing towards the window (and not out into the room) because of the tilt they have put on the solar panel on the radio it needs to be facing that way. apart from that then this is a fantastic little radio. do not hesitate, buy it.

Good value for the money
A cheap but solid radio, it really does charge in sunlight and the battery life is as promised. The sound volume is quite good for it's size although the maximum volume is achieved within the first quarter turn of the control knob. Sound quality is very good for voice whilst music sounds slightly tinny but still quite clear. Reception in weak signal areas is very good - better than both my Sony analogue and digital portable radios. I am buying a second one to leave in my bathroom so it must be pretty good!

Brilliant little radio
Does what it says on the box! Dont expect stereo sound but for such a small radio it is great. Sits at an angle on window sill so it charges easily. Havent had to use the wind up feature yet. Pleased that i no longer have to buy batteries. Wish id bought a radio like this years ago!

Very pleased with this radio
this radio is a little star! I just keep it on the window sill all day and so far haven't had to use the USB or winder handle. Compact, sturdy and user friendly. Would recommend it to anyone who just wants a simple radio with am/fm only.

No worry about batteries or power. Let the sun do the business. So good that I have just bought another one.

Solar Radio
Bought one for my father to use in his green house! He loves it and spends hours listening to football matches! I was impressed with the quality of the sound and bought another one for myself. I have used it for hours and it has never failed to impress for such a compact unit! I just leave it in the window to charge and it always works for hours and hours it has never gone flat on me yet :o) Great bit of kit for the price and no batteries! 10/10 Nice little radio and feels good quality.

Very pleased with this good value purchase.
Neat, sturdy nice looking little radio. Solar cell is very effective - haven't had to wind it since I received it. I note the comments others have been made about the angle of the solar panel, but even with the speaker turned away from me and towards the sun, the volume and quality of sound is good. Only gave it 4 stars because the volume control would benefit from a little fine tuning.
