Displaying reviews 1-7  Comments about ETON Solarlink FR360 Radio: After a year of Hurricane Irene and the freak October snow storm, I bought this as my go-to Christmas gift so ordered many. I'm hoping not to need it but my husband has been playing with it since we got one more for ourselves. Seems to work well. For older folks, the digital readout may be hard. I wish it included the AC cord but otherwise VERY happy. And Campmor had best prices - 30% cheaper. Pros

Best Uses Comments about ETON Solarlink FR360 Radio: The directions said that this radio would run for 15 minuted after 90 seconds of cranking, but this managed less than 5 minutes. The digital radio band display was defective...did not display complete numerals. Campmor was great about taking it back although it did take a special trip across the GW Bridge Pros

Cons
Best Uses Comments about ETON Solarlink FR360 Radio: I tried FOUR of these! After a certain period of time--sometimes 3 weeks, sometimes days--the raiod on each one stopped working. It wasn't the power--batteries were fresh, and the flashlight worked. The last one I left on all day to see if I could force it to stop, and it did - 3 days in. Seems like it's a contact in the radio. Pros
Cons Best Uses
Comments about ETON Solarlink FR360 Radio: I use it as a back-up radio for home and boat. A "must have" for hurricane season. I like the size, compact but not too small. The best product for peace of mind. Comments about ETON Solarlink FR360 Radio: I bought this radio for the lake. It's solar powered, crank powered and batter powered so you never have to worry about it running down. Displaying reviews 1-7 |
