We use the solar radio mainly in the garden and are pleased with the performance / volume / sound quality. Both the loading facility on the solar cell and the crank function very well. On a beautiful, sunny day, you can hear the whole day radio. The battery is also sufficient to connect additional small speakers. The flashlight with fully charged battery is very bright, but even with a weaker battery sufficiently. We have the radio is now about 6 months in use, and are very pleased, however, it should be noted that in the last 4 weeks slowly dissolves the plastic layer and the channel scan display does not work anymore. (You can still search for stations). The plastic layer is now a disgusting, sticky - greasy mass. TOO BAD. We suspect that this is caused by the sun's heat. Well, you can not charge the shade and so we use it as before, let's see what happens further on the radio. The few points we forgive just because of the defective material.
