Response from Staples :
Hello - because, as you mentioned, this radio cannot be programmed, it may pick up alerts even 50-100 miles away, depending on the broadcast signal. As a portable radio, that is one of the features. Sometimes there may not be severe weather in your area, but the radio will still tone/alert. It will also alert for watches and advisories, not just warnings, as the events are not selectable. If this radio is going off with no advisories, watches, or warnings and there is no weather report to accompany it, please reach out to [email protected] to replace it, as your radio may be defective.

Come on midland your better than this!!
It is a battery eater, first the batteries that came with the unit were corroded. I replaced, worked once gave an alert, Week later I was going to listen to the radio found batteries dead. Guess the clock got it. No option to plug in

Response from Staples :
Midland appreciates the feedback and hears the frustration. A battery should not arrive corroded and if you are not satisfied with the performance, the customer experience will be happy to assist you with options on your current radio model.

Fantastic & Reliable
This radio is fantastic! I use it often when we are expecting bad weather. It holds a charge for longer than I thought it would. I love it so much that I’ve bought another for my son’s household. Thank you for your wonderful and reliable product! It was well worth the price… and I didn’t get paid to write this review either!🙌🏻❤️🇺🇸

Needs More Power
I give it two stars because it is very small and not powerful. Needs more power from its speaker.

Response from Staples :
This radio is the smallest emergency weather radio we offer and runs off of traditional batteries. Our other radios that come with rechargeable batteries have more power. This radio is meant be a travel radio and is not meant to replace a desktop radio. It is small, portable and works with AA batteries for emergency situations not for extended use.

Needs better volume control.
Ok radio for the price. This radio needs better volume control. The lowest volume setting is way too loud if you're in a quiet room or want some music while you're trying to sleep. Push button volume needs to go lower with more fine tuning. Disappointed.

A Good Hiking Partner to Have
This little unit makes a lot of sense when you're out in the woods - especially if you're alone. The WX stage seems to pull in NWS radio stations well, although you don't want to try while you're charging your phone nearby. It can create interference that can make it tough to receive a good WX signal. The AM/FM works well, and I can overlook the less-than-optimum sound...

Convenient Emergency Radio
I already have a Midland Emergency Alert AM/FM Weather Radio for the house, but wanted another one that was handy to carry around with me in bad weather. This one fits the bill.

compact radio
Great little radio. The only negative(for me) is that even at the lowest volume setting the radio plays loud, unable to use headphones. Plan on calling customer service to see if this is a defect or just designed this way.

Weather radio
The reason I bought this was for the portable weather ability.
The 1draw back is the display is on 24/7 and 8 it go thru batteries rather quickly.
Going to try rechargeable batteries next.

Multiple charging options!
Pros: Weather Alerts, Compact Size, Digital Tuning, Bult-in flashLight, Strong reception of NOAA Weather Channels, Headphone Jack, multi power sources;solar, hand crank, or USB charge with included cord.
Cons:AM Band Reception seems weak.

Small and compact - keep extra batteries on hand!
I really like the concept of the Midland ER10VP. We travel the U.S. full time in our RV and so are not always familiar with local weather situations to look out for. I do have an app on my phone that will alert me to severe weather conditions, but the problem with that is that we are frequently out of cell range when we camp in the back country and so have the potenti...

An essential piece of emergency equipment
We’ve been needing an emergency alert radio for our adventuring and this Midland Emergency Alert AM/FM Weather Radio is perfect for our needs. There are so many features packed into such a small, lightweight package that you can easily throw into a hiking bag, backpack, car, or emergency kit. It has AM/FM radio and NOAA weather alerts (which we have already had to use w...

Handy little tool to have in the bag
I wasn't sold on having a device just for the weather as I could get that on my handheld ham radio while out on trips but I was wrong. This little thing made it east to find the weather station in the area I was camping in over the weekend. All I had to do was cycle through the 5 preset weather channels and the right station popped up in no time. Would have taken a LOT ...

Smart addition to your gear
Midland’s ER10VP Emergency Radio has filled in a very specific gap in gear for us. While our cell phones are our main go-to for weather updates, once we’re out of service zones (which is more frequent than you might expect), it’s necessary to make sure you can see any changes in weather coming. From mountain-top hikes to camping in the backcountry, it’s important to mak...

Small/Light Weight
Initial impressions was good. The product showed up and I appreciated that the AA batteries were included. I messed with a bit in the house just to try the functions, please note that I do live in a rural mountain town. The radio is fairly easy to navigate. The flashlight is a nice feature although a bit bulky since it is on the end of the unit. Weather channels ca...
