Summary: AWFUL
Comment: I'm REALLY surprised by all the positive feedback. This thing is so awkward to use and just bad on so many levels. BOTTOMLINE: I don't have confidence that this product is solid enough to warn my family when a storm approaches in the middle of the night.
First and foremost: the battery drain. If you are in a storm, and your power goes out, plan on needing extra batteries. If for some reason the giant AC adapter falls out of the wall or the power goes out during a brown out and it runs on battery backup for a day, then your batts are toast. Not a good thing from a safety device.
I think the problem lies in trying to combine with a clock radio.
Second: navigation through the menus is awful. this thing took me an hour to figure out how to program for my area, and I'm a tech savvy guy in my 40s.
Don't be fooled by the stylish silver facade. It's not very user friendly or intuitive in the way that we have come to expect our electronics to be. I wanted to buy American, but now I'm going to try something else.

Summary: MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio
Comment: Its from midland! nuff said. If you live in severe weather prone areas, you would be nuts not to have this radio. Large back lit display, fast and easy set up are just a few of the many features this radio offers.
Oh and trust me the severe weather alerter WILL wake you up!
The order, packing and shipping were on the mark or above average. Thank you Amazon!

Summary: so long tv weatherman
Comment: The best purchase I made this year. Combo clock radio/weather on demand is perfect for my lifestyle. I barely have a chance to listen to the news throughout the day. With a touch of the button, I can know what to expect in the next 24 hours. I'm looking forward to winter this year for the fact that I can get the weather any time at any moment and with the large amounts of snow that we get, can determine if I should snow blow in the morning or wait till later on.
It has three memory settings for different radio stations which is adequate. I love the bluelight backlight on the display and the beeps that some people say are annoying can be, but for the most part you get used to it and it's not that big a deal. I would highly recommend the product.

Summary: Just what we were looking for in a radio for our camping trips
Comment: We have had NO PROBLEMS with this handy radio. We use ours in our pop-up camper. We don't setup up the alert on the radio unless we were to suspect that the weather is going to take a turn for the worse. It works great to turn music on softly at night to help the kids go to sleep. Granted the beep everytime you push a button is annoying and pointless; but I guess you get used to it. We love our radio so far!

Summary: ...limited review...
Comment: I have only had the WR300 for a couple of months and really have not had but 2 or 3 alerts come along. The alerts were definitely for one of the dozen or so specific areas that I had programmed into the radio and that was nice. The setup was quite user friendly -though a bit long and tedious- with the instructions. I definitely agree with any and all negative reviews concerning the FM radio, the reception is horrible. I would overlook this a little if I could at least program no less than ten radio frequencies, but that is not the case. The low rating is, at this time, soley based on this one aspect. If possile then I will update this at a future time with more about what the radio is really designed and meant to be used for.
