I work outside daily, stonewalling, brickwork etc & having tested to destruction many portable radios over the years I can honestly say this is the best little radio I have ever had.
First off ignore the daft little light? the strange personal alarm button? & the winder (it works but not for long & only if you are desperate ie working in the hills with no batteries) just pop in 2 good quality AA batteries & they seem to last for ever,
This little radio has been left out in all weathers, fallen of walls, vans & scaffold, dropped in a bucket of water (honest), lost its battery cover, lost its tuning knob, lost its volume knob (both broke off in various falls) & generally abused over the last few years but its still going strong & I have tried replacing it with various modern radios but keep going back to this one bacause of the battery life & the clarity of the speaker.
I now have gaffer tape over the batteries & tune it with the end of a nail, adjust the volume by putting a cloth over the speaker & switch it of by switching it from battery to dynamo,
I have tried DAB but battery life is to short & other small portables but I cant find anything as good as this,
its a bit expensive to start with but if you look after it a bit better than mine it should last forever!

Brilliant radio, has space for a battery, runs on just windup, locks on to radio stations and doesn't drift, simply brilliant , and a nice shape

I bought this radio because i was fed up feeding batteries into my digital radio. I did put batteries in this one but have never used them as the wind-up function is great. A star buy.

Great.
Bought for my husband as a Christmas present. He loves it. He is able to change volume in safety when in bath.

A handy portable radio.
Good design, lightweight and portable, useful wind up facility. An indicator reflecting power accumulated by the wind up process would be handy in future models. Read more

The best little portable radio
I used this radio nearly everyday for over 5 years until the volume knob got smashed off in a fall.

I was bitterly disappointed with this supposedly eco friendly radio. So hopeless I did not even use it. Read more
