Pros: A welcome device to warn you of danger. Cons: Wish it were of metal; wish it could be powered by a hand-crank recharger.
If you live in an area of the United States where a hurricane, tornado, or other severe weather catastrophe could threaten you or your family, a $30.00 electronic device could be the difference between life and death. This device is the Midland ...

Pros: Easy to use, with a loud alarm and good, clear reception Cons: None. It's excellent.

Don't trust this thing with your families safety
by sailfish218 ,Jul 12 '07
Pros: Loud alarm. Cons: Loud alarm does not function when needed.
This radio worked well until we really needed it.
Yesterday it failed to pickup the emergency broadcasts from 4 different SETS when we had a tornado moving our way. Thank God we were awake and watching TV and saw the warnings.
It's now in the trash, where it belongs. This company will never see my business again.

Very happy with this item
by samsocal ,Aug 06 '08
Pros: Inexpensive, easy setup, works great. Cons: None
I bought this just 2 days ago at King Soopers for $29. Brought it home and it was easy to program and was working within 5 minutes. Today there were thunderstorm, flash flood, and tornado warnings and it sounded the alert loud and clear. I went to see what was happening and the text screen clearly stated which alerts had triggered it and a single push of a button allowed the weather service details to be spoken so I was immediately informed of the emergency. I am happy with this purchase and already feel I have gotten my money's worth from this device. I would recommend this item to anyone living in an area with severe weather conditions.
