Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Got this handy device due to living on the east coast of Florida and hurricane Matthew making me pucker up and sweat. I forgot about hand crank radios and flashlights (which this is both and more) until a friend of mine asked if I had one and was baffled that I didn't already. This thing has everything! Makes you wonder if Doc Brown from Back to the Future or MacGyver works for Kaito. Picks up my local radio, weather and shortwave radio bands with no issues. (Now I can eavesdrop on truckers) Even sounds good. The LED light is pretty bright and the reading light is a good mix of not too bright yet not too dim. The red S.O.S. blinking light doesn't pattern actual Morse code, but who the heck can read Morse code anyways. (Pipe down military vets) It charged up perfectly with the solar panel and hand crank. And the hand crank is easy to turn. Even after consuming all your alcohol during a hurricane party so it doesn't get warm and spoil when the power goes out. And now for the answer that most people are probably curious about...(long pause for effect)... it DID charge my iPhone 6. Nothing spectacular but approximately 2% every 5 minutes. The great thing is if your phone needs more juice then just crank the sucker up. So to make a long story...err...review short...the Kaito Voyager KA500 got me through a hurricane and I would definitely recommend it.
