Battery Operated Alarms

I 'm glad I bought this radio( about 2 years ago) and I 'm buying another for a relative. Several things are great about this radio:* it's reliable.* the alarm is loud enough to wake me up even if the alert on my cell phone does n't. Since lots of storms come through at night, I appreciate this!* the double AA batteries have kept the radio working when the power has gone out and when I 've brought the radio into the basement when tornadoes have been spotted close by( twice).* plays the weather forecast at the push of a button.* programming is pretty straightforward, though it takes some time. People who are n't keen on electronics might want some help and some patience. No complaints.

The radio is easy to use, and lightweight, the battery lasts a while, and is a great option if you need a simple weather radio.

I 've had NOAA Weather Radio receivers around the home since 1974 from various manufacturers. Over the past half a century, I have come to rely on weather alert radios made by Midland, as they have the longest life span, and provided outstanding reliability over the years. In fact, my oldest working weather radio is a 1989 vintage model 74- 102 and it still does a magnificent job. Currently, I have three Model WR120 alert radios around the house, and no matter where I am at, I can hear any emergency message from the National Weather Service day or night. Also, the battery backup feature has provided continuous protection even after power failures. The WR120s really are the gold standard of weather radios, and I often buy extras off Amazon as holiday `` stocking stuffers '' for my coworkers, family and friends. They really are a great gift idea.

Can ’ t remember how many years I have owned this weather radio by Midland but It is still as reliable as it was when it was new. I know it is several years old because I bought it new. Thank you Midland for producing quality products. Have not had this unit not to work or serviced in any capacity. If it was to quit functioning, I would buy another one just like this one.
