plug a problem
Like the idea and the digital radio is a nice touch. My biggest problem is the plug. When the unit is plugged into a wall outlet the top of the unit covers part of the outlet above. This makes it impossible to use a 3 prong device and nearly impossible to plug in a 2 prong device. So you are dedicating an entire outlet to this one device. Seems they should have figured that one out.
Update (2/3/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Battery Life? What battery life?
Nice to have them on sale, but endangers Total: # 1: A complete multi-day charges, the battery dies after only 45-55 minutes of stand-alone radio play. Could have wired-in 4xAAA NiMH battery, for a better NiMH from change when a techie person wanted to, but …. # 2: Rounded bottom means it lie flat on his back. # 3: Plug-design again. # 4: Switch a bit underbuilt / underdesigned. Positives: # 1: Nice blue LCD display when plugged in (not for standalone). Like a nitelite. # 2: Combo of digital / Rotary tuning is accurate. # 3: Sounds a bit thin, but very clean, clear /, is very well staffed. Result: Holder, if $ 5, send it paid if the retail asking $. Try, try again.

I love this thing!
I have 2 of these one for each floor of my house. When we lose the power there is no more fumbling for batteries for the flashlight or candles. As soon as the power goes out it is right there shining brightly from the outlet, ready to unplug and use as a flashlight! I’m buying them this year for father’s day gifts!
