Awesome
Have 2 of these, one for each vehicle in case of emergency. Great to be able to crank the handle to charge it up.

DO NOT USE THIS TO CHARGE AN IPHONE !!!!!
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE THIS TO CHARGE AN IPHONE !!!! I have a 32GB 3GS that I purchased in February. I purchased the Eton Microlink FR160 for a Cub Scout camp-out to celebrate the 100 years of scouting. We were camping in a farm field with no access to electricity. When I used it to charge my iPhone, it FRIED IT! I mean no phone, all loss of data, completely black screen. The Apple store tried to due a hard reset and couldn't even get it to turn on. Thank goodness that the phone was still under warranty! Apple gave me a new phone, but I had to reload EVERYTHING! A HUGE time commitment and pain. Eton tech support was willing to replace iPhone, but emphasized to NOT USE this to charge an iPhone! All other features are awesome and weather band works great. I will keep it for that reason only.
