Radio: NOAA weather band (direct NWS alerts) plus AM/FM. Extend the telescoping antenna, power on, and tune.

Power: Three inputs - top-mounted solar panel (trickle-charges in daylight), fold-out hand crank (backup boost), and USB-in. Internal battery does the heavy lifting.

Light & signal: Front LED flashlight plus SOS alarm/strobe, one-button operation.

Phone charging: USB-out tops up your phone from the internal battery - designed to keep you reachable, honest about being a top-up rather than a full recharge by crank.

In the box: Ventra R11 radio and USB cable. Setup takes a couple of minutes - no app or account required.

Shipping: Free tracked shipping worldwide, dispatched within 2 business days.

Guarantee: 30-day money-back guarantee - if it's not right for you, return it for a full refund.

Warranty: Every Ventra R11 is backed by a 1-year warranty.

Do I need this if I have a phone? In a real disaster the cell towers and power usually fail first - your phone becomes dead weight. NOAA broadcasts directly from the National Weather Service with no network required, so you stay informed when apps can't help.

Is NOAA free? Yes. NOAA Weather Radio is a free public NWS broadcast - no subscription, no fees, ever.

Will solar and crank actually charge it? Yes, honestly: a radio uses very little power, so in decent daylight the solar panel keeps it topped up. The crank is your never-fail backup for a quick boost. The internal battery and USB do the heavy charging.

How long does it last? Built rugged and backed by a 1-year warranty - designed to still be working when you finally need it.

Kept us informed all night

Power went out for two days after the storm and this was the only thing telling us what was happening. NOAA alerts came through clear with no signal at all. Charged my phone enough to send a few texts too.

Replaced a whole drawer of junk

I had a dead flashlight, an old radio, and loose batteries. This one unit does all of it. Solar keeps it topped up on the windowsill and the crank actually works when I need a quick boost.

The prepared one now

Bought it for hurricane season and it sits in the kitchen. Bright flashlight, loud clear radio, and the SOS is genuinely loud. Feels solid, not like the cheap toys I expected.

Easy for anyone to use

One button for the light, extend the antenna and tune. My mum keeps one at her place now. Simple enough that she never has to call me about it.

Better than expected for the price

Was skeptical about the solar but in decent daylight it charges more than the radio uses. Not a phone-recharger miracle, but it tops you up. Exactly what a backup should be.

Peace of mind, finally

We lose power every winter and I always felt cut off. Now I actually feel ready. Kids think the crank is a toy which is a bonus.

Solid emergency unit

Compact enough for the car kit. Reception is good on FM and NOAA. Would have liked a slightly brighter beam but it does the job well.

Packaging was clean and the housing feels rugged. Threw it in the bug-out bag and it survived a few knocks already. Ventra clearly put thought into the build.

Worth it

Cheap insurance for the worst night of the year. During the last outage we had light, weather updates, and a bit of phone charge while the whole block was dark.

One Unit. Every Job.

One Device Replaces Your Flashlight, Your Radio, Your Power Bank, And Your Drawer Of Dead Batteries.

The most common thing owners say: they wanted one thing that does it all - instead of a pile of single-use gear that's scattered, untested, and never where you need it when the lights go out.

Three Ways To Power It

So It's Never Dead When You Need It Most.

We'll be straight with you about how the charging actually works - because that's the exact thing cheap crank radios lie about.

1

Solar - Keeps It Topped Up

A receiver radio doesn't need much power to run. In reasonable daylight the solar panel trickle-charges the internal battery continuously - charging more than the radio consumes. Leave it in a window and it stays ready.

Primary top-up
Radio solar panel charging in daylight
2

USB - Fast Fill From The Wall

Before a storm rolls in, plug it into a wall outlet or a power bank and top it up fast. The internal battery does the heavy lifting - so you start every emergency with a full charge already banked.

Fastest charge
Radio charging via USB from an outlet
3

Hand Crank - Your Never-Fail Backup

No sun and no outlet for days? Fold out the crank and turn. It's the backup that always works - a minute of cranking buys you radio time and a burst of light. Not the primary charge, but the one that's there when everything else is gone.

The real backup
Hand cranking the radio

The honest truth: Solar keeps it topped up, the internal battery does the work, and the crank is your real backup. We won't tell you to "crank your phone back to life" in ten minutes - because it can't, and neither can anyone else's.

Bought it for hurricane season. Used it during a 2-day outage last month. Zero regrets.

Marcus T.Verified buyer

Honestly skeptical about the solar - figured it'd barely work like the cheap ones. But I've had it in the kitchen window for weeks and it stays fully charged without me touching it. The flashlight is genuinely bright, the NOAA reception is clear, and it charged my phone enough to send a few texts during our last blackout. Does exactly what I bought it for.
