Midland Weather Radio
Works well, after we set it up we were alerted to a severe weather alert. The alert beep is not set as some over the top noise. The radio provided the alert and then provided the information as it is supposed to. It is not a large unit, so it will fit in smaller more confined areas.

Not very durable
Antenna broke as soon as I opened it and tried to close it.

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.

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.

Midland Emergency Radio
I really just got out of the box. Only took a few minutes to set up. I like this unit as it does have back up batterys. I plan to also take on our camping trip and have in the RV. i AM SURE IT WILL WORK FINE.

We looked at many different options but this one said weather alert radio so we knew it would do what we wanted.
We had some weather problems and the radio kept us up with what was happening. I liked the way it would sound the alarm and then would go to what the alert was about. Our old one would just sound the alert until some one got to it by then the description was almost done and you had to wait until it came around again.

Works great!
We are a school replacing an old weather radio and this one seems to work great. Easy to program, alerts for various weather events, and you can choose which counties you want alerts for.

it works
clear signal; bought a different brand about 3-4 months ago-- small, black, great reviews; it stopped working. Hope this one does a lot better. Found it listed on the NOAA weather site. In general, tuning in to a NOAA weather station has been more reliable (weather-wise) than using a weather app. Although supposedly not available in stores, this shipped in 2 days. So wa...

I ordered two of these for the Rock Quarry I work , I also have one at home and live out in the county so it is nice to have piece of mind that you have access when the weather can turn dangerous . Tornado alley is no place to live with out one

I purchased a Midland WR120B to replace an earlier model. I like all newer capabilities especially the ability to restrict some non applicable alerts. It meets all my needs. I found a better price on other web sites and Staples refunded the difference. Good deal all the way around.

not very durable
We have bought two of these. They are essentially the same product. Neither has lasted
a year. The only thing that works on them is the clock. We cannot return for warenty work as they were charged and were included in grocery purchase so no individule reciept. We have been very disapointed in the product.
