Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Grundig FR200 Emergency Radio (Red)
Customer Review: Emergency Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
This radio is sold under several brands, and is good for daily use as well as for emergencies because it picks up signals from a longer distance than most radios. The wind-up feature is more fun than utilitarian since three AA batteries will power this little gadget for days. I am put out that the radio did not come with an AC adaptor, and I refuse to buy one at the high prices now charged for them. I think Radio Shack started this consumer-unfriendly trend of selling incomplete products, and Microsoft does the same through its Vista non-ware.Customer Review: This is COOL!
Summary: 4 Stars
Makes a great gift, love the red color. I think this is awesome to have in a pinch. I bought this for a table gift and just loved it and I DID try it! I have the flashlights that crank and everyone loves those. I found the reception pretty darn good on just the crank wind. My only beef is the light should be a little brighter and the DC adapter should come with it. But dont hesitate on it for a gift cause it's a neat item to have. My son came from Texas and loved it, said he needs one there lol. It's a winner!Customer Review: For when the batteries run out.
Summary: 5 Stars
This neat little unit is built upon the work of British inventor Trevor Bayliss, who came up with the idea of a hand cranked powered radio for use in Africa, and remote parts of the world, where batteries were almost impossible to get a hold of. In less difficult circumstances, the ability to use one’s radio after the batteries have died - for whatever reason - is a handy thing to be able to do. And at this price point, this Grundig unit’s performance shouldn’t disappoint.
Customer Review: looks like a toy
Summary: 4 Stars
Really, I was amazed how little this radio is, but it seems to work. My boyfriend cranked it for perhaps 45 seconds, and he got a short wave station or two, and some am stations. We have yet to give it a real test, but so far it looks promising. The light went on, and we had reception. Living on the coast of Maine, we seem to lose power a couple of times a month, every time the wind blows hard. So it's a comfort to have this little but apparently nicely functional crank radio.Customer Review: Don't expect much

I have the FR-200 which I purchased through Amazon.
Don't expect much.
The antenna will break and when you try to buy a replacement you will not be able to use Eton's web site to do it becuase it does not work.
When you call Eton on the phone they will tell you that the antenna is "back ordered" and you should call in about 45 days.
More crap from China.
