MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio

I bought this product of its rating. The sound quality is great, and it alerts me of any bad sever thunderstorms we get. I'm very happy with it.

Purchased the WR-300 model for our office since we handle all crisis situations. This all weather radio is PERFECT for our needs. Super features: S.A.M.E.; you can choose which areas to receive notifications; it alerts you to multiple types of emergencies; has a AM/FM radio; battery backup; easy digital readout; set-up super simple; small enough to be easily placed on desk or carried; alert signal is loud enough but doesn't frighten you; has great volume control; and the best...press one button on top and can listen to the weather anytime.

This is the only weather radio where you can choose the type of alerts. Otherwise, I'd be woken up in the middle of the night for every watch/warning that is issued.

I was at a cabin this summer and a friend had one of these sitting in the corner. All of a sudden it started alarming because of a impending storm. we were just about to go out on the lake and it saved our bacon bigtime. So I bought one and it took me 5 minutes to set it up with my zones and what alarms I wanted and it stayed perfectly quiet until our first severe storm came along and it started alarming describing what was going on. For a simpleton like me, this thing works great and is easier than pie to set up and get working.

I am a weather worry wart and this has been the best piece of equipment I have bought. I sleep better at night know the battery back up is going to keep us safe.
