Digital camera reviews of Midland WR100 Weather Radio
Digital camera Review: As advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
The radio was as advertised, easy to install, and it sounded an alarm the first evening of its use. A good product.Digital camera Review: At last, you can sleep at night
Summary: 5 Stars
With the older type weather radios, you would be awakened at night by the alarm notifying you of severe weather situations in locations far from you. With the Midland radio, you can program severe weather notification for only those counties you are interested in. What a relief--now when the alarm sounds (and you can only have the light indicate severe weather) you know it's close and you can take action. Fantastic idea and I highly recommend this weather radio.Digital camera Review: BEEEP BEEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEP

Right now it is almost 1am. I've had this weather radio for a few days, and like a few things about it, but let me tell you the deal-breaker: IT BEEPS FOR EVERYTHING. You can set it to beep only for emergencies in your area, which is great, but it still beeps for EVERYTHING in your area! All I care about is tornados, but it beeps for heavy rain, thunderstorms, high wind... everything.
The alarm volume CANNOT be adjusted. It sounds like a life-size foreign police car inside your bedroom every time it goes off. It doesn't take a bomb going off to wake me up, the volume should be something I can change. Overall, I liked the price and look of this unit, but it isn't user-friendly (or sleep friendly!).
We're under tornado watch tonight, so I haven't yanked the cord from the wall, but I keep getting woken up with a shot of adrenaline wondering what the 900,000 decible noise is, only to find it is an alert saying that there's still a thunderstorm outside. Thanks, radio!
If you are looking for a radio for your home, I'd look for one with an adjustable alert volume, selective alert types, and SAME technology. This one will drive you insane!
Digital camera Review: Bad value
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this unit last year and it never received any alerts. I called the company and they said I had it set correctly but I replaced it with another brand located in the same place in my home and it receives all the alerts.Digital camera Review: Bait and Switch
