Bought this radio to take with me to work, and its ideal, it is slightly smaller than I thought it would be (h70mm x w130mm x d35) but the volume is surprisingly good for the size and definately enough for what I need. It has a usb cable to charge which is very handy, and it works exactly as described. It is coated in what looks like rubberized plastic and feels well made and robust.
Since my initial review I have noticed one flaw in the radio, I use an usb mains socket to charge and unfortunately you cannot listen to it whilst plugged in due to static interferance, this is one snag that could have been avoided and made the radio perfect.

After an initial charge via the USB cable provided, this radio has not needed a charge since apart from the sunlight charging it gets on the kitchen window sill. The design of the unit is good, and, while it feels light to hold, it doesn't feel particularly shoddy.
I have one slight gripe about the speaker. The volume is sufficient for most things, but near the top end of the volume scale, the speaker can distort, especially on some of the deeper voices on Radio 4.
However, that is a small gripe, and overall, it works perfectly for what I wanted it for, and feeling green for using the unit is a bonus! Nice bit of kit; I'm happy with it.

This brilliant little radio from duronic ticks all the green, eco friendly boxes in one go! it is an fm/am analogue radio, portable and rechargeable. You can recharge in one of three ways: crank the handle for a minute or so for approximately 30 mins play time from empty, connect by usb lead (supplied) to a laptop or computer and charge for 7 hours to get 9 hours or more play time, or leave it in a bright naturally lit position to charge by solar power. You will find the blue charge lamp a good guide for indicating suitable charging light, getting a charge using the solar panel will work in all but the more dark severe weather situations. The blue lamp also lights if you charge using the handle.
We bought this radio for my dad on fathers day and he is very pleased with it. It played for hours in between recharges, and even though our weather has been a bit cloudy there was enough light to keep the battery topped up for more playing time. Both fm and am reception are excellent and the sound quality is good.
At the price, I cannot reccommend a better radio for the eco concious.
