Review 1 for Midland NOAA Emergency Alert AM/FM Radio and Alarm Clock
Too hard to figure out
Customer Rating
2.0
What's great about it: I do not know, it has never worked yet. I put my zip code in and county and it does not seem to do anything
What's not so great: The instructions are very UNCLEAR and CONFUSING
I THINK THEY SHOULD SET THEM UP AT THE STORE WHEN YOU BUY THEIR BLACK TIE WARRANTY. Still Fooling around with it, I may bring it back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does What I wanted it to do
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Being able to just program what warnings i want
What's not so great: nothing
The weather radio is just what i wanted . the alarm only sounds if there is a tornado warning in my area. The first warning i had the alarm sounded and not 30 seconds later the tornado sirens went off. I like being able to select what events will sound the alarm and for what counties. very happy would recomend
I would recommend this to a friend!

We have this at our lake house where there are no sirens. It works great. Programmed the zip code in and it goes off every time there is a warning. Would recommend this to everyone.

What's great about it: easy to set up and is a great product for weather related notifications
What's not so great: I haven't found one yet
I purchased this product right after the hurricane this August and when we had this weekend storm, it worked perfectly. It was easy to set up, and is compact to fit into any space. The notification light came on the day before the storm hit and I was notified as to the storm and high winds in the area. It can be programmed to your specific area and specific notifications you want.
This is a great product and I'm so glad i bought it.

What's great about it: Awsome price for capability, big center button for on off.
What's not so great: Leave it at the store if you can't muddle through obtuse menu setup.
I set these (about a dozen of them)up for buildings at work. They are programmable to only show and go off on the exact alerts you want. Both type and location of alerts is programmable. If not interested in the programmability, there are easier to use options out there, and one must at least learn to muddle the menus to at least set the frequency. They are one touch on and off for weather or am/fm. The audio quality is decidedly tuned for the "radio weather voice" meaning it is poor for music and other listening (that could be a business bonus.) There is a computer interface for programming a larger batch of these. (I didn't have that for the dozen I rolled out.)
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Looks nice
What's not so great: Confusing
I feel like an idiot trying to figure this radio out. Don't know if it works because we haven't had any warnings yet. Can't figure out how to make sure it works during a tornado warning which is the main reason I bought it. Tornado warning is on the list of warnings in the instruction booklet, but I can't even find it on the radio. I've looked online for help but not a lot of luck so far. Like I said, it's very confusing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Reception, Menu Options
What's not so great: Missing Alerts
I purchased this product after Christmas 2009. I thought it would be great and much better than my RadioShack that wasn't working correctly. I'll tell you, this is a great radio. I was able to receive 4 Different NWR Channels, plus I like having the AM & FM Bands too. Being here in Iowa, you can be up to 60 Miles away from an NWR Transmitter and this one pulls signals in from 80 Miles out.
However, I found that it had not been programmed to sound for Tornado Warnings. It is easy to program it in manually however.
I would strongly recommend this to anyone I know. It's the best radio I've had.
I would recommend this to a friend!
