Negative Positive
Title: Great emergency light/charger
Review: I bought this as a refurbished item and it wouldn't charge the battery if it was plugged into the bottom, only if the battery was detached. Workable but not what I wanted so I called B&D.; They had me try a couple of things and then immediately shipped me a brand new unit and a pre-paid UPS label. The new unit works flawlessly.You get a very bright lantern and 6 LED lights beneath the main bulb, AM-FM radio which works fine, the NOAA weather band is difficult to tune but that's true with any non-PLL tuner. The AC inverter works fine for charging most AC devices, the 12v DC power socket is handy for some devices but the ability to keep the whole thing charged via the included adapter or by hand-cranking is the best feature.I haven't run trials on the duration of the light since we've had no outages this winter but I'll post them when I can.
Is the review positive or negative?
