Title: Great idea, but needs improvements
Product review: This is a great product and has proven useful through two hurricanes (Rita and Ike) that made it into east Texas, as well as several power outages. The different radio bands provide all the sources of information you might need, and I've been impressed with the quality of the speaker used for the radio function. The inverter and 12volt power point plug work well, keeping our cell phones charged during outages. The areas where Black and Decker could improve this product is to provide LED lighting for both the recharging flashlight and the small attached room light (they currently use incandescent bulbs). This would make the product use even less electricity while providing an even more reliable light source. I've had to replace the bulb on the rechargeable flashlight several times and the light it produces is quite dim, although serviceable when needed.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
