Now just £35.69 in the Amazon Prime Day sale, the Ryichi wind-up radio is a brilliant little buy for anyone concerned about power cuts or emergency preparedness. With energy resilience in the spotlight across the UK and Europe, this compact, best-selling gadget is now even better value thanks to the limited-time discount.
It’s smaller than you might expect – easily slips into a backpack – yet feels reassuringly sturdy and well made. The hand crank folds neatly away when not in use, and it comes with a USB-C cable for regular charging. You also get USB functionality both ways: one port to charge the radio, the other to top up your phone or other small devices. All the ports are protected by a rubber seal, and there’s even a headphone jack.
It’s smaller than expected – small enough to slip easily into a backpack – but still feels sturdy and well-built. The hand crank folds neatly into the back, and it comes with a USB-C cable for standard charging. You get USB charging functionality both ways: one port to power up the radio, the other to charge your phone or small devices. There’s also a headphone jack, with all ports protected by a rubber seal.
Tuning is quick and smooth, with a simple switch to toggle between AM and FM bands. A green indicator light shows when you’ve locked onto a strong signal, and for its size, the sound quality is surprisingly good – ideal for news and music in a pinch, even if it won’t replace your usual Bluetooth speaker.
One of the standout features of this flashlight radio is its lighting setup. Beneath the solar panel is a flip-up reading light powered by six bright LEDs, adjustable between low, medium and high brightness. There’s also a front-facing spotlight controlled by a top-mounted button – again with three brightness levels and no flashing gimmicks, just reliable illumination when you need it.
An SOS emergency alarm is built in too: hold the button for three seconds and the radio blares a siren while flashing the front beam. It’s designed to help you be found in an emergency, and trust me – it’s loud enough.
To charge it, you’ve got options: solar charging on sunny days, or manual power using the hand crank. The red light shows it’s charging, and one minute of cranking gives around 10 minutes of light or up to six minutes of radio. Four blue lights on the front display your current battery level.
This compact survival radio isn’t flashy, but it does exactly what you want it to. For £41.99, you’re getting a reliable emergency gadget with lighting, radio access, USB charging, and an alert system – all in a size that’s ideal for a rucksack, bedside drawer or glovebox.
