Four functions
Radio, power bank, torch and a casing that’s happy to be packed – everything you need when the power goes.
Picks up official broadcasts even when the mobile network is down.
Charges your mobile several times over. A power bank for the whole family.
Bright, built-in light, so you’re not hunting for torches in the dark.

Power cut, 9.40 pmWhen the power goes
In a long power cut, the mobile network can fail once the backup batteries at the masts run flat. The internet goes, and with it the news, the apps and the alerts from your council.
That’s when the authorities turn to radio. BBC local radio and BBC Radio 4 carry emergency information – but only for those with a radio that works without mains power.
An emergency radio is the single most important thing in your emergency kit.
Charging on the windowsillWhy Orvo
Our upgraded emergency radio has a full 10,000 mAh – up to five times the battery life. It receives FM and AM, lights up the room and charges your mobile.
When the grid goes down, top it up with the crank, the solar panel or USB-C. Your choice – and the radio keeps playing.
It works when everything else stops working.

An emergency radio is the single most important thing in your emergency kit – it works when everything else stops working.




We had no idea how quiet it gets when the power and the mobile both go. Now we have a plan – and a radio.

Thanks to the solar panel I never have to think about it. It’s charged every time I pick it up.

Reviews
Sits in the kitchen window charging on solar, even now in February. We had a three-hour power cut last week – the radio played the whole time and charged my mobile too. The aerial pulls in BBC Radio York clearly.

Tested the torch in the cellar when a fuse went. It lights up the whole room, and the reading lamp on top was enough to find the right fuse. Far brighter than I expected.

Unboxed it straight away at the office. Feels solid, the crank is sturdy and the aerial is long. Bought three – one for us, one for Mum and one for the caravan.

Fully charged via USB-C in one evening, all four battery lights glowing blue. The green light shows when a station is tuned in properly – clever when you’re searching in the dark.

Lives on my desk by the window so the solar panel keeps it topped up. I listen to Radio 4 every morning, so I know it’ll work on the day it matters.

The best bit is the lamp on the short side – a spot in the middle and two wide panels. With the strap you can hang it up in the kitchen. The bivy bags sit in the emergency kit next to it.

Smaller than I thought – fits in one hand and weighs very little. Perfect for the car and the emergency kit. 16 × 8 × 6 cm is spot on.

Good sound for the size and picks up both national and local stations. One star off because cranking takes a while to show on the battery, but it is the backup. Solar and USB-C work brilliantly.

After last winter’s storm we were without power for two days. That decided it, and now every household in the family has one. Arrived in two days.
The government’s Prepare guidance recommends a battery or wind-up radio. This one is a power bank too, so the phone survives as well. An easy decision.
I keep it indoors as you should, but tested it out in the garden at minus ten. The radio started straight away and played for an hour without a problem.
Took it walking in the Lake District. With the solar panel on my rucksack, my mobile lasted the whole week. The bivy bag is incredibly small when packed.
Bought it for my dad, who lives alone in the countryside. He rang to say thank you – now he has a torch and a radio in one place.
Three of them: the motorhome, the boat and home. The bundle price made it an easy choice – far cheaper than buying them one by one.
We’ve got small children and wanted to be prepared. The kids think cranking it is great fun, so they know how it works if something happens.
Out here on the Western Isles the power goes now and then when a storm blows through. Now we’ve one in the house and one in the holiday cottage. Charges the mobile with no trouble.
Quick delivery and friendly customer service when I asked about charging. The radio is rugged and feels like it’ll last for years.
Used it as a power bank for a full day out on the fells. Charged two phones and still had battery left for the radio in the evening.
The whole emergency kit sorted in one go – three radios and a bivy bag. Good to have it done before winter.
Up here the winters are long and dark. The torch with four modes is really good, and the compass on top is a nice bonus.
Lives on the boat. Compact, tough and charges in the sun out on deck. Best thing I’ve bought this year.
Easy to use, even for someone who isn’t technical like me. Slightly bigger numbers on the dial would be nice, but the knobs are easy to tune.
Good product. I’d have liked a mains adapter in the box, but the USB-C cable is included and works with my usual charger.
The radio works well and the lamp is bright. Three stars because AM reception is weak where we are, but FM comes through clearly.

In the UK, emergency information goes out on BBC local radio (FM) and BBC Radio 4. Tune in to your BBC local radio station on FM now and write the frequency on a note in your emergency kit.
10,000 mAh is enough for many hours of radio and roughly two full charges of a typical mobile. Exactly how long depends on the volume and how much you use the lamp and charge devices. With the crank and solar panel you can keep topping it up.
Fold out the crank on the side and turn it at a steady pace. A minute of cranking gives you listening time when everything else has run out. The crank is the backup – to charge fully, use USB-C or the solar panel.
Yes, but more slowly. The solar panel keeps the radio charged over time: leave it in a south-facing window or attach it to your rucksack. It’s quickest in full sunlight.
Yes. Plug your mobile’s charging cable into the USB output on the short side. The radio works as a 10,000 mAh power bank and charges any phone that charges via USB.
Charge it fully when it arrives, then every three months. Switch on the radio and test the lamp at the same time, so you know everything works on the day it matters.
An emergency doesn’t choose where you are. Most people keep one at home and one in the car, the cottage or the boat – or give one to parents who live alone. The more you buy, the lower the price per radio.
A compact emergency sleeping bag (bivy bag) in heat-reflective material that holds in your body heat if the power and heating go, or if you’re stuck outdoors. Wind- and waterproof, it packs into a small pouch and weighs next to nothing. Add it in the purchase box.
Yes, but like all lithium batteries it charges more slowly and runs down faster in severe cold. Store it indoors in your emergency kit and take it outside when you need it.
