Aquabourne Wind up & Solar Radio AM/FM/WB – use anywhere as it’s splash proof!
This is a great little radio. The solar panel though small has no problem powering the radio for regular daily use. With the wind up function as a back-up or stand alone charging method it’s a real bargain. This is the only solar product i’ve had that really does work.

Absolutely love this radio, bought it for the shower but now use it all over. Easy to tune, wind up and away you go. Leave it on a windowsill and it’s fully charged next time you need it. Very loud when you need to hear it over your DIY tools

Sound is nice. I assumed this radio could disappoint me having really tiny sound, but it’s unexpectedly good for this sort of product. I’m delighted. You don’t get much of the solar action, though… At least not in Liverpool, half an hour before dusk.
I intend to use it in Serbia and Mediterranean during hot summer days, so I guess I’ll do just fine with its solar panel.
In a few words, it’s fantastic for summer camping.
My rating (5/5) is based on value I’ve got for my money.

I thought this radio sounded like an ideal solution for my bathroom. My old shower radio had broken and I read the reviews for the Aquabourne and thought it would be just what I needed. On the plus side, it is small, portable and holds its solar charge well. On the down side, it does not tune very easily. I’m a Radio 2 listener and I find it very difficult to get a good signal for this station. However when I tune to other more local stations I get a much better signal.

I give this very good radio 4 instead of 5 for one reason – the solar charge takes a long time, so a manual charge is needed otherwise I would have go]iven it a full 5 marks.
