Digital camera reviews of Grundig FR200 Emergency Radio
Digital camera Review: Don't count on the light
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the radio in case of an emergency at home. I appreciate the radio reception but have not been able to use the light feature. The light worked when I first took it out of the box but stopped working shortly after. I called Eton customer service, who sent me a new light bulb. It was the wrong light bulb so I called again. They sent me the correct light bulb but replacing the old was complicated. There is no instructions for bulb replacement included with the radio. After managing to replace the bulb, it still did not work. Without instructions I can't know if the problem is with me, the bulb, or the radio.Digital camera Review: Easy way to feel secure

I bought this little hand-powered radio after the big blackout in NYC last summer. Then I bought one for my brother and his family who live on a farm in the mountains and often experience power failures. This is a great little device! It runs for an hour on a few cranks of the lever and makes me feel that I can always be in touch in the event of an emergency. Not much to pay for the peace of mind it brings.Digital camera Review: Emergency Preparedness - 3 Important Needs, One Small Radio

Though upon arrival, I had expected a larger Emergency Radio The Grundig FR200 did not disappoint for it's relatively moderate price the little lightweight radio contains some great features: A tiny built-in flashlight that sheds a fairly decent illumnation to find the kids; the pets a fuse or breaker box and find your shoes. 4 billion radio stations (Imagine, I could even listen to my AM news station with great clarity); a manual power crank to use alone or to charge an Ni-MH rechargable battery. Purchase the 4.5 V AC adapter, for this model or use 3 AA batteries. ((eton) Grundig has many models to suit your needs). FR 200 has an earphone jack, carrying case, instructions and limited warranty. Buy a few, or many for family, friends, keep in car basement, bedrooms, garage, bathroom, anywhere you may need a little extra security.Digital camera Review: Emergency Radio

It is adequate for its purpose, which is to be available in emrgencies. It is lightly built, but priced appropriately.Digital camera Review: Emergency radio that works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently suffered through Hurricane Charley without a radio (power was out of the question). My radio batteries were gone before the storm actually hit land. I decided I'd never be without a radio again, and bought this item. I've cranked it a few times, and it's working great! Good sound and even the flashlight included is stronger than I would have expected. I've read about the complaints about how much cranking is necessary, but I don't care (when the power is out, what else do you have to do but crank the radio?) I'll never be without radio contact again when I need it most. I hope I'll never use this radio for it's intended purpose, but I'm sure glad I've got it!
