Like a trusted friend.
This Midland Weather Radio is a nearer version of an older one that I had. As a trained severe weather spotter reliability is a must have. Whether we are stationary or on the road this radio does the job.

Weak signal
First, I am an FCC licensed broadcast engineer and have been since 1968. Along with that, I am a licensed amateur radio operator...again, for many years.

Peace of mind
I chose this model over the more expensive WR400 with clock radio because you can turn the WR120 off or adjust the volume for siren and radio. This stays plugged in and silent 24/7 and only alerts when there is an emergency so it gives you peace of mind. You can also just use it to listen to weather radio separate from the alarms. Menu driven configuration makes initial...

Good p[roduct.
Works fine. Setup was a bit arduous but if you follow the user manual's instructiions you'll be all right. The good news is that if you miss a step you can reset to square one and have another go at it.

Seems to work
Not had any warnings ad of late so not sure what it will be like when there's a weather alert. Not easy to set the settings had to do it over a few times before finding what sequence of buttons to push for each setting. So it's OK. I actually need an easier to use thing I guess.

reliable. & loud enough to wake me up when needed
I'm glad I bought this radio (about 2 years ago) and I'm buying another for a relative.
Several things are great about this radio:
* it's reliable.
* the alarm is loud enough to wake me up even if the alert on my cell phone doesn't. Since lots of storms come through at night, I appreciate this!
* the double AA batteries have kept the radio working when the p...

Great Weather Radio
The radio is easy to use, and lightweight, the battery lasts a while, and is a great option if you need a simple weather radio.

Best Quality and Value For Your Piece of Mind
I've had NOAA Weather Radio receivers around the home since 1974 from various manufacturers. Over the past half a century, I have come to rely on weather alert radios made by Midland, as they have the longest life span, and provided outstanding reliability over the years. In fact, my oldest working weather radio is a 1989 vintage model 74-102 and it still does a magnifi...

Long lasting and effective in all the features.
Can’t remember how many years I have owned this weather radio by Midland but
It is still as reliable as it was when it was new.
I know it is several years old because I bought it new. Thank you Midland for producing quality products. Have not had this unit not to work or serviced in any capacity. If it was to quit functioning, I would buy another one just like this on...

Failed to work corectly
I just purchased a new midland wr120 weather radio a few months ago, and just the last pass week the clock re-set its self back to 12:00 AM for no reason at all. So I figured that something was laying on the buttons causing the clock re-set, so I checked to see if here was anything touching the radio, and there wasn't. So I went back into the menu, and set the correct t...
