FosPower Emergency Solar Hand Crank

I left this in my car to use as an emergency. Behind the backseat headrest. Apparently this can't be done because this top plastic face warped completely in the heat. Also. The light under the small solar panel DOES NOT GO OUT. Maybe this is a failsafe avoid the internal battery from exploding. But ...

The power bank feature seems to work pretty well - if I read the instructions right you have to charge the battery in the unit and then charge another device - I don't believe you can charge a phone etc while turning the crank. I tested charging my cell phone it added 5% charge to my Samsung cell ph...

Ok. Where to start. Had this in our emergency box we started during the beginning of Covid. Moved to SWFL almost 2 years ago. Hurricane Ian has passed and this bad boy got us through our power outage. Has a light that shines super bright. Radio was okay enough where we didn’t care as long as we were...

All components work as advertised. The flashlight does not give off a lot of light, but it is adequate. We have not had an actual "emergency" yet, so I am hopeful that it will do its job when needed. I especially like the compact size and light weight for our "go to" bag.

The radio was hand sized so easy to Cary from room to room. I was glad I had so many was to power the unit they all came in handy. Also glad I could get information without being connected to the internet. Very important in a storm situation.

Received the radio the same day as I ordered it, Surprised. The lantern that I ordered with the radio will be delivered tomorrow. So far, I am very happy that I made this purchase as it will be very important for the use's it offers.

Childs toy at best. 2 month solar charge gives about 15 minutes of use. The crank is useless. Doesn't work. Don't depend on this in an emergency. Also took more than 2 months to arrive.

The speaker on the radio is great and it does charge solar but the hand crank is to short in my opinion that my knuckles hit against the device.

Got for emergency use only, have not had an emergency this week, so, it is what I wanted and pretty sure it will do what it is intended to.

My test was very brief. Pleased with the chargi by USB. Sound is fine. Sole intended use is for emergency. Hope I don't really need it.
