Customer Reviews

Lots of features for the price
We ordered four of these to add to an emergency "go-pack" for each family member.

Undeniably, the fact that these are powered via the sun or hand-crank is a plus for us. The flashlight/lantern feature is nice, as is the radio with an antenna (something a lot of self-powered radios seem to lack). The siren is not loud at all and therefore mostly useless. It's too bad this doesn't have a cell phone charger on it (though it would be almost impossible to always have the right attachments anyway, given how new cell phones come out every month, it seems).

For the purposes of an emergency kit, these are great, except for the weak siren. We plan to override this problem with pealess whistles :)

Jeff and Susan's Take on the Wind 'N Go PowerPro
We have just purchased this item in the need 0f a crank radio and found that it has all kinds of gadgets that will come in handy for us: the emergency beacon can be used for distracting possible unwelcomed animals, as well as a tool for an impromtu dance party light. The light and lantern features are both really bright, and, although you do have to crank it for 3 minutes for a 30 minute use, it serves when you have no electricity, in remote places, and tones your arms! We love it. You can view the other products we will be buying and rating, and also follow along with our crazy upcoming road trip at www.findjeffandsusan.com.

Totally worthless
No disrespect meant to the 4-star reviewer, but maybe he/she got lucky and didn't 'wind-up' with the (either) defective or hunk-of-junk item I got stuck with. It neither holds a charge after 8 hours of solar charging, nor 'cranking your guts out' for 3+ minutes. In both those instances, the flashlight/lantern LED's only illuminated (weakly) for less than a minute. The only way I could get even an hour's worth of light from this product was to charge it (...which I did first as per the instructions), with the included AC/DC charger. I've never purchased a more worthless product than this item...and believe me, I've come across some real losers. But this one takes the prize as the worst.
