Customer Review: Good weather safe guard
Summary: 4 Stars
Works very well and the selective areas make it much better than all the general alarms going off.Customer Review: Weather Alert
Summary: 5 Stars
Best emergency alert radio for the price. Has warned us several times of impending storms. Set just for the specific counties you are interested in to avoid unnecessary warnings. Excellent quality.Customer Review: Do not waste your money on this cheap radio.
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not waste your money on this cheap radio. During a storm when we lost power it stopped working. There were tornado warnings. I do not know what the battery compartment is made out of but it was so cheap that the batteries got corroded quickly. I cleaned it out and put in new batteries and the same thing happened again. We threw this piece of junk away and purchased a real weather radio. Sometimes you get what you pay for and we got a cheap weather radio when we purchased this radio that was unreliable and did not last.Customer Review: It can be great but boaters or outdoor users beware
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought 2 of these devices a while back. These devices have alerted most of the time for me. However, if you leave this device out in the sun, in the heat, in a boat on the lake, IT WILL NOT WORK. Sometimes if inside the house and the sun hits it then it picks up nothing but static. Several times I have had them in the car with me and they have quit working. It really doesn't take much heat to cause this. Then If I bring them inside, put them in the freezor for 5 minutes, they work perfectly. I have never experienced anything like this with any other radio. Otherwise, the reception is excellent. I can pick up stations on 6 of the 7 frequencies. Also, the programming of this device can be a headache, but like anything else, once you get the hang of it, its easy to change channels. Customer Review: Midland WR100B Weather Radio
Summary: 4 Stars
This weather radio serves our needs well. It is programmable such that we can exclude areas not of interest. Reasonably priced and very effective.
