Summary: Miserable
Comment: This radio is a miserable reciever. I live about 12 miles from a NOAA transmitter with absolutely no impediment to the signal from hills etc. I could not pick them up with the included antenna. I bought an add-on antenna from Radio Shack and could then barely recieve the station, sometimes readable, other times not at all! This is a useless product. I threw it away. It would be totally inadequate in an emergency.

Summary: This is not a very good radio.
Comment: I live about 40 miles from our NOAA broadcast station. For this radio to pick up thier broadcast, I have to hold the radio in my hands and face it South. Very often it puts out a growling noise that totally drowns out any broadcast that I may be trying to listen to. I've always been happy with Midland products, but they have themselves a lemon here. Spend your money on something else.

Summary: WR10 not for mobile homes
Comment: I purchased this WR 10 at Walmart's for $29.00. AM and FM reception is fine, but no weather reception at all inside a mobile home. I'll be returning mine, as I do live in a mobile home, too much metal I suppose. I tried in in every room and nothing!! But take it outside and it works fine.

Summary: Wal-Mart Almost Giving Them Away
Comment: My local Wal-Mart store in Naples, Florida is selling Midland WR-10 Weather Radios for two bucks ($2.00) each! (The radio originally sold for about 30 bucks at Wal-Mart). I bought about a dozen of them to pass out to my friends. The radio does EXACTLY what it's intended to do...give weather information and weather alerts, and it also has the AM and FM bands.You can set the radio to be absolutely quiet until it receives a weather alert.
The instructions are very clear and an included pamphlet gives the NOAA weather frequencies for all the major cities in the USA,(which can be easily set at the bottom of the radio). There are a number of other neat features which I won't go into here. So RUN to your local Wal-Mart and see if they still have any left at this absolutely amazing price!
My only problem... The radio is made in China, but then, just about everything in Wal-Mart comes from the Orient!

Summary: Iffy Electronics?
Comment: I just purchased this radio locally, and I'm going to have to return it. The buttons aren't working. Considering that I've had trouble with another model weather radio from Midland, I wouldn't buy another product made by that company.
