Good points: A large solar panel on the top charges an internal battery, so if you leave it on a sunny windowsill while it's not in use, it'll be topped up and ready for action whenever you need it. The fact it charges a battery rather then running directly from the panel also means you won't miss reception when a cloud comes past, as you did with an older solar radios. Despite being small, the speaker is surprisingly good.

Drawbacks: There's no FM, so you will miss some local stations.
