I compared and reviewed the RunningSnail MD-088, Raynic CR1009 Pro, and the Midland ER310 emergency radios. I also compared how well they charge with solar and hand crank. I learned something after testing the radios that surprised me. Finally, I demonstrated using the weather alert warning button during an actual severe thunderstorm.
NOTE: After the testing and posting the video, I decided to see how well they charge my cell phone. After charging up the radios to 100%, I charged my phone with them until the radios stop charging...
Raynic charged 47% of my phone until the radio battery went dead. This radio has a 5,000 mAh battery and it used all of it.
RunningSnail charged 19% of my phone, but the radio continued to work.
Midland charged only 7%. I tested it twice, and the radio continued to work.

Another very good radio is the Eton - Sidekick. The nice thing about this radio is it has the S.A.M.E. Technology which allows you to narrow down the alert area, but it is expensive, and I don't care for the tuning dials. It also tips over a little easier than my other radios. I think it lists for over $120.00, and last time I checked it was $90.00 on Amazon.
