Digital camera reviews of Grundig FR200 Emergency Radio (Red)
Digital camera Review: Performs Perfectly
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first got it I played it for about one hour a day to see how long the original charge would last. It finally went dead five days later. A short crank of maybe 20 seconds gave it about an hours worth of charge and playing time. A three minute crank and it was back up to playing for four to five hours. I couldn't be happier with it. I get every station that any other radio in my area gets and the built in flashlight is very intense. It's worth every dime I paid.
Update: 10/19/06 We here in the Buffalo, NY area had our electricity off for five to seven days due to an early, wet snow that brought down tree limbs all over the area. This little radio was all I needed for a flashlight and emergency information. It picked up all the local AM and FM stations, plus ones as far away as Chicago, Toronto, NYC, Boston, and Philly. We're ordering more as Christmas presents. I wouldn't be without it.
Digital camera Review: Pleased my hard-to-please brother
Summary: 5 Stars
I sent this radio to my very hard-to-please brother for his 65th birthday and he loves it! That's enough for me! I'll be getting one for myself now & keeping it in mind for other hard-to-please friends.Digital camera Review: Purchasing a Grundig FR200 Emergency Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with the radio. It is easy to crank, the reception is clear and it runs longer that the stated time on a minutes worth of cranking. Also, it is lightweight and the carrying case is a plus. And I love the color!Digital camera Review: Simply a must for emergencies
Summary: 4 Stars
It does what it says and if your looking for a good emergency radio, this is it. I have two for emergencies and everything I have tested on it works just fine.Digital camera Review: So great! Small, light and completely useful...
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing is so great! With only 90 seconds of cranking the handle, you get up to an hour's charge... the flashlight part is not big, so it won't light a large area, but it's perfect as an emergency device. Radio works perfectly and there is even an earphone jack should you need to use the radio without disturbing others. This may sound geeky, but it's a perfect thing to give every family member to keep in their rooms in case of emergency. For the price, it's a really smart thing to get BEFORE you need it. If you are in a hurricane or tornado-prone area, you should really get one for your home. The red color actually has a little bit of a metallic sheen to it, so this thing is not only very practical, it looks cool, too.
Another good Grundig product is the Blackout Buddy - a smaller, plug-in device that you leave in a wall socket until you need it ... it's a flashlight, radio and clock all in one.
