  • It’s a solid weather radio, and everyone should have one.
Size: WR400
I able to figure out how to program it without even reading the directions, but I did go back and read up all the details to see if I missed anything. It actually has a lot of different alert options from visual, sound, and voice. The AM/FM works, although I imagine your reception has more to do with your location and surroundings than it does the radio. I see people complaining about it not giving off alerts, did you not choose your state and county? There’s no way it doesn’t go off unless somehow you screwed up when you were programming it. It’s not a smart radio, it doesn’t have GPS to locate your exact coordinates, so it won’t give you alerts without programming it. As long as you choose your state and county, you can know with certainty it’ll work. The S.A.M.E stations are pretty easy to check as there’s only handful of national codes, and depending on your region, the same codes can/will be different for someone in New York vs someone in Texas. I was able to pick up around 4-5 different codes (areas) within my state by moving the antenna around. I found most of them to be pretty similar in content outside of one that is located around 200+ miles away. The others were all about the same as far as areas covered and updates given. Check out the NOAA website and you can input your exact address. It’ll show you an interactive map, and show you the closest stations to you, the areas that your location is part of, and other relevant information. I suggest keeping batteries in it, and leaving it plugged in; as in the batteries should only power this radio whenever you’re without power. Some reviews complain about battery life, but if you have power, why would you ever waste batteries? I just don’t understand. It’s 4 AA batteries, not 4 C or D cell batteries. You can’t expect months out of a radio with this many features powered only by 4 AA batteries. That should be common sense. I spent a few hours messing with it, and left it on after setting it up. After about 5 hours, it still shows a full battery. (Batteries used: Duracell Optimum AA) After that I decided to plug it in, and leave it on my kitchen counter. That way when the power does go out, it’ll have batteries already in it, and it’ll be ready to go. At the end of the day, this is a weather radio.. with FM/AM radio/alarm clock features. Meaning this is a weather radio first and foremost, I don’t really care about the alarm clock, the AM/FM radio is a nice bonus, but I probably won’t use it for that to be honest. Living close to the Gulf of Mexico, I believe it’s a must to have weather radio for hurricane/tropical storm preparation. Hopefully I never have to use it, but if I do, then I’ll certainly be glad to have it. I don’t think you really put a price on peace of mind, but for me I’d say it’s worth it. Not only for peace of mind, but all things considered, it feels quality, and it performs well through the number of tests I ran it through. The alerts are loud. I’d suggest not keeping this in your bedroom, and especially not by your nightstand. I keep mine in my kitchen, and I can easily hear it from my bedroom; so just something to keep in mind. PS: To those upset about it shipping in the manufactures box; check before you buy. Amazon will warn you if the item ships in the manufacturers box. It’s literally right above the “place order” button, and it’s hard to miss. For something like this I don’t mind much to be honest. It arrived safely. Sometimes it gets thrown around more when it’s put into a larger Amazon box, so I only make sure to hide what’s inside when the item noticeably valuable, like a printer, security cameras, or a PS5. Mark the item as a gift if you wish to hide the contents, and it’ll ship in an Amazon box. ... show more

  • Great Weather Radio

Excellent, programmable weather radio. Able to add neighboring counties that typically get adverse weather first as an early warning. Easy to program and provides piece of mind on upcoming adverse weather.

  • Midland - WR400, Deluxe NOAA Emergency Weather Alert Radio Works well
Size: WR400
Let me start by saying I live in an area that tornados a lot. An alert weather radio is a necessity rather than a luxury. That said I generally wait to post a review until after I have had an opportunity to use a product or see it work in the situation it is designed to work in. Pro's: - It works well after setup - The S.A.M.E settings really help cut down on alerts that are not relevant to my specific location. This one works better than any of my prior midland or other weather radios. - The AM and FM radio is very good, good reception a nd programing channels was easy. - Compared to other weather radios I have had, I found the setup up to be pretty straight forward and easy. Just read the instruction and take your time. - The radio arrived a day after an event, but we had an another event the next day so I promptly set the radio up since my old one had failed. - Yes you can use a weather app on your phone, I find that slow and less consistent than a direct broadcast from NOAA. - I would recommend this weather radio, it works great, looks nice, has duel power modes (AC and Battery) and the actual use of the S.A.M.A settings work way better than prior radios. Con's: Short list and nothing that warrants a major issue for me. - Radio came in a retail box with box with no outer box. Not a huge issue however the box had been dropped on it's corner. While some might not blink at this, it is electronic, and the shock can damage internal components without the user being aware. A pre-mature failure could be misinterpreted as a bad product when in fact the product under went a shock event that could have been in excess of the internal capacitors. resistors. etc. are rated to withstand. I took 1/2 star away for that. Some might take more. - I was unable to turn up the Alert siren volume, but that could be something I missed in the set up instructions. On previous radios I could just turn the volume control up for the alert siren to get louder, although it usually turn up the voice announcement as well, which was a bit painful to the ears. I took 1/2 star for that because it was either me missing it in the set up and/or not evident how to do it on the radio. I still Recommend this model. I like it much better than the other Midland offerings or any of the competitors within a reasonably similar price range. ... show more

  • Woke us up when a possible tornado was headed our way, i.e. it works
Size: WR400
I ordered this unit after a particularly heavy summer storm hit us a couple of weeks ago. We're in south central South Dakota and while tornadoes do occur here, they're not a common occurrence. Setup was simple (with help from the manual), albeit time consuming to ensure we had all of the alerts set up to either sound the alarm or not (thunderstorms happen on the regular and I didn't want to get roused every time one was headed our way). I made sure to set it to only sound the alarm on tornado watches/warnings, as well as flood warnings and other potentially catastrophic events. I played around a bit with single vs. multiple counties. It's really smart in that if you choose Multiple and then select "near" counties for the additional items, it usually picks the correct ones. However, deleting a county from the list is neither simple nor intuitive. You'll have to Google it, but it comes down to pressing the navigation buttons until you get a numeric county code, setting to 0, and then performing another action. I ended up switching to Single mode because I noticed that my county was usually included in any weather activity that affected surrounding areas, and I didn't want alert overload. Reception is surprisingly good. I'm in a rural area where there is literally no TV signal, and 1 or 2 FM stations that come in decently. The weather station is about 25 miles away but it comes through loud and clear, with only a little bit of static. Anyway, last night the thing went off at 2:30 am. It was loud, obnoxious in a good way, and it woke us immediately. The display said TORNADO WARNING, the red light was flashing, and the voice announcement mentioned a high likelihood of a storm that could form a tornado over our county. I looked out the window and all looked pretty calm, so we just sat tight for a while. My wife went back to sleep but I stayed up to see what would happen next. About 10 minutes later the wind picked up and there was lightning everywhere, so I started collecting a few essentials to take into the basement if necessary. Then at 2:50 the alarm went off again, this time urging us to seek shelter, as a potential tornado was spotted about 20 miles away and headed in our direction. We unplugged the radio (it works fine on battery), flashlights, water and a few other emergency supplies to the basement and made ourselves comfortable. Radio reception was spotty down there, so I had to occasionally pick the radio up and stand in a certain spot to get a signal (there's a handy NOAA signal strength indicator in the LCD display). After about half an hour the red light stopped flashing, indicating the warning expired, and we went back upstairs. We found out later that there was definitely some rotation, but no tornado and it never got close enough to our home to do any damage; however, I highly valued the 30 minute warning, which gave us plenty of time to prepare for a possible touchdown. This little radio has already paid for itself in peace of mind. ... show more

  • Great weather radio
Size: WR400
Great weather radio. Takes a bit of reading to set up for your area, but I guess any of them would. I do not use it as my primary clock. I keep it on silent. If you want to hear the weather report you can turn off silent and listen to your heart's content. I do not need a constant stream of weather updates, so I keep it muted. It stays muted till an emergency broadcast comes over and then it would wake the dead. You can turn off the alerts you do not wish to hear. Personally I do not care to listen to every amber alert, so I have disabled that. You can disable all the stuff you don't want to hear and only keep the important things turned on. It sat on my dresser for months and I wondered if it it was really working, then we had a tornado watch and the thing came to life in the middle of the night screaming like a banshee. No sleeping through that. So, I guess it works as I have programmed it. I like it and can recommend. ... show more

  • Great radio but might be underpowered when connected to power
Size: WR400
Having this radio for a week now, it's actually a great radio. The screen is big and very bright, setup was easy compared to my midland wr120, and it picks up AM, FM, and WX stations very well. Hell, Just like my wr120, this thing picked up noaa weather radio station WNG582 Sandusky (albeit in certain locations of my house) and my area doesn't utilize this station for weather alerts! It can also charge your phone in emergencies OR, if you're like me and you wanna play music from your phone, it can power a Bluetooth USB FM transmitter so you can stream on! The speaker quality on this radio is actually very good and the setup of this radio compared to my midland wr120 was much easier. The weather alert tone is a bit quieter on this compared to my wr120 and this unit has the EXACT SAME TONES as the wr120 just sped up. However, unlike my midland wr120, I feel this radio might be underpowered when connected to wall power. For instance, this radio requires 4 AA batteries for backup and is powered by a 5V DC adapter. On battery power, the display is brighter and all radio bands are picked up effortlessly. On wall power, the display is dimmer and there's a slight delay when you go to listen to any of the radio bands. My midland wr120 on the other hand (which requires 3 AA (4.5V) batteries for backup and is powered by a 9V DC adapter) doesn't have this issue regardless of wall power or battery power. I feel like midland should've provided a 9V DC adapter for this radio like their other radios but it is what it is at this point. Small nitpicks. ... show more

  • Great Weather Radio to Wake Me in Severe Weather
Size: WR400
Bought this in 2020 for $69.99 brand new at the time. I bought it to wake me up at night while I'm asleep. Great radio that does the job. Takes a bit of setting up to customize it for exactly what you want. Battery life is not good and the batteries get drained fairly quickly even when the device is plugged in and not using batteries. Plug in batteries when the power goes out. Everyone should have a weather radio that lives where severe weather can happen. ... show more
