Philips TAR1609 Portable FM/AM radio with Internal Rechargeable Battery, AAA Battery & Crank Backup, Solar Power, Built-In LED Light & Torch for Camping, Hiking & Power Outages

A good small little radio. Good solar panel and wind up ability. Plus it can take AAA batteries. The ability to charge your phone is also a great addition. The torch is bright and the alarm is very loud. Got this at around £30 and was good value at that price.

Bought this as a presssie. They love this radio. Very good reception. Works well every time they use the radio. SO VERY PLEASED> THANK YOU.

This radio is a lots more expensive than those unknown brands but it really worths the extra cost. It is a well polished product, as you immediately feel it from the package to the build quality. The weight is well balanced, and light weight, easy to hold on hands. Speakers are good. Sound is clear; volume can go very soft for everyday use, to really loud for the SOS siren. I haven't done the stress test on the battery life though. If you have budget, I highly recommend this one. You will want the reliability in the case of emergency.

For its size, this is a very good emergency radio. I wound it up with approximately 20 rotations of the wind-up handle and it provided at least 6 hours of continuous FM play. Sound quality for speech was clear and completely audible/understandable. Sound quality for music was acceptable (noting that music listening would not be the main objective of this radio as It is designed for emergency situations such when the big one happens with an extended period of no electricity supply and/or no batteries) . The little light at the top of the radio is equivalent to a pen sized torch light. The audible emergency sound is loud, probably in excess of 70 decibels. My only niggle is that the wind up handle could have been made sturdier as I suspect it would snap off if it were turned too quickly or used strenuously. All round however it is a very good practical design and fit for purpose. I will buy a second unit for the car.

Quality radio with multiple charging options. Great reception, even in the rural area I live in. So much better than the cheaper alternatives. With the torch this is a great radio to have in an emergency.

I haven’t used all the features of this radio other than to test them but I’m impressed with the quality of sound in the radio. So easy to charge with all the options available - the windup feature is particularly easy to use and surprisingly efficient. The casing is sturdy.

Great little radio. Would definitely recommend

Brilliant emergency radio. Really good solar panel, the radio stays on for a good hour even after being on the windowsill for just one day. Light is ok too. Good Sony quality, sound not bad for a teensy speaker. Wind up is good too, easy to crank.

Nice product

Philips TAR1609 – przenośne radio FM/AM z akumulatorem dobry zakup jak na razie testowane w domu działa znakomicie polecam

Very well made looks so cute but made strong and easy to use

Ich bin restlos begeistert. Wir nutzen es täglich. Wir kurbeln es nur und haben endlich ein Radio ohne Rauschen in der Küche! Es ist so klein, dass es im Katastrophenfall (möge dieser bitte niemals eintreten) mitgenommen werden kann. Ich kann mich allen positiven Rezensionen komplett anschließen.

Llegó antes de lo esperado, nuevo en su caja original! Hasta ahora funciona todo bien, la luz es buena y el SOS suena fuerte, tiene muy buena calidad de sonido. Es un poco más grande d ELO que esperaba, pensaba que sería más de bolsillo pero no hay problema, sigue siendo muy compactó.
