Ratings & Reviews for Midland Emergency Weather Alert Radio with Alarm Clock

Fits in hand and light compares to others

Had another brand and comparing them this one is easy to run.the other had longer battery life.

Instructions suck!

Instructions are terrible! One section tells you to set the radio for a single area. Then it tells you that you can set it for multiple areas. It doesn't tell you why you might want one or the other. Their are many deficient areas of the instructions. Set up of the radio is nowhere near as easy as it should/could be! I don't know whether to recommend because it's new.

A perfect weather radio to have!

Hi, I am an EAS enthusiast from Saint Paul, MN! I bought this weather radio and it works great! If you ever need something that will notify you in case of any alerts, this one really takes the cake.

Easy to program

We have a 15 year old Midland weather radio that still works great. A local TV weatherman suggested that a new one would be a good idea. The new unit arrived quickly and was very easy to program. We put the old one in the garage. Neither one has gone off yet as it's been a quiet spring. But we're prepared for what will surely come soon. Thank you for some extra piece of mind.

This is amazing for hazardous weather!

It is very reliable and has never not given me an alert when the weather got bad!

Great tool for Emergency Preparedness

We're experiencing severe weather our first year out in the Texas Big Country. Our WiFi and TV reception are spotty at best. The Weather Radio provides us with reliable alerts and information.

EASY TO SET UP

OUR AREA IS PRONE TO FIRES AND THIS RADIO TUNES IN TO ALL OF THEM. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE KNOW WHERE THE FIRES ARE.

good product

I bought 25 NOAA weather radios for a Construction safety week event and between the ones I bought and the ones provided by the other vendors and sponsors of the event we were able to get a radio to all the workers and employees at the event and hopefully save a life one day if the worst were to happen. And being in Alabama it is very possible that a tornado will happen.

Easy to Use

I bought this for a gift to my mother for Mothers Day. She is older and a bit of dementia but could easily operate the weather radio. I programmed the radio and explained to her how to operate it. She thanked me for such a great gift. I feel better knowing if sever weather approaches she will be notified and move to a safer place. I also purchased one for myself and I feel safer with it in my home too.

Instant weather response

I am impressed how quickly the weather updates are available. Once the unit is programed which only took a couple of minutes the unit was up and operating. I only wish I would have made the decision to purchase a weather radio sooner.

Worked great until it didn't

I bought this in March. The charge (radio+shipping) came out of my account on the 16th. The alert is unmissable. Scared the cats. Today, April 27, I went to press the weather/snooze button to get the weather forecast. All the alert lights were on, static was coming out of the speaker, and the screen showed the station it is tuned to. Pressing buttons had no effect. Turning it off did nothing--it still had static coming out of the speaker. After unplugging it and removing the batteries, and then...

Nice product

Very happy I purchased before severe storm season.

Worked out of the box. Literally...

We bought this to update our old WR-100. As soon as we opened the box, plugged it in and found a weather station, it started going berserk. There was a tornado warning in the area that we had no clue about! Sure enough, we turned on the local news and the weather man was animatedly showing the active threat on the map. We were amazed! Thankfully it missed us but what a testimony to make sure you have a good weather radio!

Peace of mind

I just recieved mine and so happy i finally bought one. I feel as though my family is safer just owning a midland weather radio

Perfect timing

I live in AL and the exact day that I received my weather radio in the mail we have multiple deadly tornados strick my city. I have learned from being in AL for 63 years that tornados do their own thing...hit this house - miss the next-door neighbor's house. I felt so much safer with the weather radio. Thank you to James Spann who encourages his listeners to get a weather radio.

Just as advertised

Neat little radio, would give it five stars, but we live in the country and I guess too far from station. Can not pick up a channel. Will give it as a gift to someone who can use it

Did good the first time

We have only had to use he radio once since we received it and it performed as expected.

Thoughts

I had to email the company about why there was no tornado warning to select. I was told it was embedded in the radio. Would’ve been nice that was in the instructions. Also we had severe weather awareness in Ohio and they sounded the sirens but the radio’s alarm never went off which is concerning

Works

Just recently bought this weather radio and it really works. We had a severe thunderstorm warning and tornado warning all in the same day. The radio alerted us way before we received any notification on our phones. This radio is very simple to use and it warns you in advance.

The Go-To For Weather Radios

It has performed great. Already helped during 2 severe weather days.
