Digital camera reviews of Grundig FR200 Emergency Radio (Red)
Digital camera Review: Customer service non-existant
Summary: 3 Stars
I recently purchased this item and I've attempted to contact Eton Customer service via their email link on their website. I have not received a reply for the past two weeks. I emailed them again last week to confirm that they got my email and no luck. I enjoy the radio but do not buy this product if you expect any customer service from Eton.

Digital camera Review: Don't expect much
Summary: 2 Stars
I have the FR-200 which I purchased through Amazon.
Don't expect much.
The antenna will break and when you try to buy a replacement you will not be able to use Eton's web site to do it becuase it does not work.
When you call Eton on the phone they will tell you that the antenna is "back ordered" and you should call in about 45 days.
More crap from China.
Digital camera Review: Emergency Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
This radio is sold under several brands, and is good for daily use as well as for emergencies because it picks up signals from a longer distance than most radios. The wind-up feature is more fun than utilitarian since three AA batteries will power this little gadget for days. I am put out that the radio did not come with an AC adaptor, and I refuse to buy one at the high prices now charged for them. I think Radio Shack started this consumer-unfriendly trend of selling incomplete products, and Microsoft does the same through its Vista non-ware.Digital camera Review: Emergency radio
Summary: 4 Stars
The Grundig FR200 is a highly useful item to have around the house - a small insurance policy against the moment when natural or Man generated disaster threatens or strikes, you need to know what is going on and power systems are down. The hand crank guarantees access whether you have batteries in the house or not. As to voice quality: The Grundig has reasonably good sound quality and makes for agreeable listening in untroubled times.Digital camera Review: FR200 is a good radio
Summary: 4 Stars
Smaller then I had imagined but good sound. Need a power supply (adapter) if you are going to listen to it regularly. One model comes with an adapter if you can find it. Sturdy radio, sound is good, battery life seems good also.
