Would RecommendJust after I set it up, we had a middle of the night severe thunderstorm warning. It was nice not to have to hope that I had a TV signal to find out the details!
Exactly what you need heading into tornado season
Would RecommendThis allows my family to stay informed of any severe weather in the area, to find it on sale for over $10 less than any other source was a bonus. It is just an added layer of protection for my family heading into tornado season.
Peace of mind
Would RecommendNo need to worry, you’ll still get alerts if the weather turns dangerous. For those concerned about tornado or severe thunderstorm warnings, these alerts are always enabled.

The alleged battery tracker depicted in some menu pages also does not show.

Everyone should have one
Would RecommendNothing fancy , reasonably priced, quick free delivery. Just what we needed for emergency alerts
Peace of mind
Would RecommendI chose this model over the more expensive WR400 with clock radio because you can turn the WR120 off or adjust the volume for siren and radio. This stays plugged in and silent 24/7 and only alerts when there is an emergency so it gives you peace of mind. You can also just use it to listen to weather radio separate from the alarms. Menu driven configuration makes initial setup easy. You don't need to use SAME codes, just enter your county, though I think it would be best to use Zip codes than to ...
