Fine radio, even for the non-techie.
I haven't handled other radios like this, so I don't know which one is better or worse. But this one is pretty good. It has all the functions I think I'll need. They all work properly. Radio reception in not good in my hilly area, however, and the radio can't overcome that. The user's manual leaves a few things out that may be obvious to techie types but aren't obvious to me. However, the customer service is EXCELLENT. You get to talk with an American who knows what she's talking about, explains things clearly, and has great patience with people who know next to nothing. I started with five stars for the radio, but took away a star because of the manual's insufficiencies. Then I gave an extra star for the customer service, which deserved five stars just for itself, so it's a 5 star-plus product.

It's a solid weather radio, and everyone should have one.
I able to figure out how to program it without even reading the directions, but I did go back and read up all the details to see if I missed anything. It actually has a lot of different alert options from visual, sound, and voice. The AM/FM works, although I imagine your reception has more to do with your location and surroundings than it does the radio.I see people complaining about it not giving off alerts, did you not choose your state and county? There's no way it doesn't go off unless somehow you screwed up when you were programming it. It's not a smart radio, it doesn't have GPS to locate your exact coordinates, so it won't give you alerts without programming it. As long as you choose your state and county, you can know with certainty it'll work. The S.A.M.E stations are pretty easy to check as there's only handful of national codes, and depending on your region, the same codes can/will be different for someone in New York vs someone in Texas. I was able to pick up around 4-5 different codes (areas) within my state by moving the antenna around. I found most of them to be pretty similar in content outside of one that is located around 200+ miles away. The others were all about the same as far as areas covered and updates given. Check out the NOAA website and you can input your exact address. It'll show you an interactive map, and show you the closest stations to you, the areas that your location is part of, and other relevant information.I suggest keeping batteries in it, and leaving it plugged in; as in the batteries should only power this radio whenever you're without power. Some reviews complain about battery life, but if you have power, why would you ever waste batteries? I just don't understand. It's 4 AA batteries, not 4 C or D cell batteries. You can't expect months out of a radio with this many features powered only by 4 AA batteries. That should be common sense. I spent a few hours messing with it, and left it on after setting it up. After about 5 hours, it still shows a full battery. (Batteries used: Duracell Optimum AA)After that I decided to plug it in, and leave it on my kitchen counter. That way when the power does go out, it'll have batteries already in it, and it'll be ready to go. At the end of the day, this is a weather radio.. with FM/AM radio/alarm clock features. Meaning this is a weather radio first and foremost, I don't really care about the alarm clock, the AM/FM radio is a nice bonus, but I probably won't use it for that to be honest. Living close to the Gulf of Mexico, I believe it's a must to have weather radio for hurricane/tropical storm preparation. Hopefully I never have to use it, but if I do, then I'll certainly be glad to have it. I don't think you really put a price on peace of mind, but for me I'd say it's worth it. Not only for peace of mind, but all things considered, it feels quality, and it performs well through the number of tests I ran it through.The alerts are loud. I'd suggest not keeping this in your bedroom, and especially not by your nightstand. I keep mine in my kitchen, and I can easily hear it from my bedroom; so just something to keep in mind.PS: To those upset about it shipping in the manufactures box; check before you buy. Dropy will warn you if the item ships in the manufacturers box. It's literally right above the "place order" button, and it's hard to miss. For something like this I don't mind much to be honest. It arrived safely. Sometimes it gets thrown around more when it's put into a larger Dropy box, so I only make sure to hide what's inside when the item noticeably valuable, like a printer, security cameras, or a PS5. Mark the item as a gift if you wish to hide the contents, and it'll ship in an Dropy box.

There's a lot to favor -- and it does what it promises
• It is easy to program and operate. • The sound quality is good. • As with just about any weather radio, the weather audio is a bit static-y, but this one is better than most.• And the overall construction and build quality is top notch. I recommend this to anyone wanting to be prepared.
