Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good for power outages
Provides a decent (not great) amount of light, good enough for sitting around a table during a power outage. Radio works pretty well. Good for backup during a power outage or for outdoors use.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Rechargeable - great, crank power - a disappointment
I think its a nice little lantern - compact, good radio and the light is decent. I bought one after a power outage at the beginning of this year and I've been using it on a daily basis since it arrived. I love my garrity crank flashlight but I am disappointed in the lantern. The lantern runs a long time off a charge but takes a lot of cranking to keep even a dim light once the battery runs down. Then the little knob broke off the crank so now its just a rechargeable.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Hard to Crank
Not bad for an emergency light, but the crank is very uncomfortable to use, especially if you have to use the crank for any length of time.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT BUY FOR THE MONEY
I purchased this lantern after reading a review of another lantern on the Gadgeteer. My aim was to get a lantern for power outages and to take along on car trips.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not very practical
In terms of practical use in blackout/emergency conditions, this lantern didn't work well for me. Although the radio is very good sound quality, the lantern isn't very bright to light a room in a blackout, and also only lasts for 6 minutes on a 1 minute crank. Since we were out of power all night, it got really tiring to crank every 5 minutes.
