Midland ER10VP AM FM Emergency Alert Weather Radio Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лют 2025
- The new Midland ER10VP AM FM NOAA Weather Alert Emergency Portable Radio may well be the best preparedness radio to date. The FM, and NOAA Weather Band Reception is well Above Average. It has a Slim Profile allowing it to be packed away in a Shelter in Place or Bug Out Bag. The Radio also uses common AA batteries which are also included :)

Features I like about the new ER10:
Low Cost.
Digital Display.
Standard AA Operation.
Listen to FM or AM while Weather Alert Mode is Active.
Flashlight with Three Modes.
FM Reception is well Above Average.
Twelve or Twenty-Four Hour Clock.
NOAA Reception is Awesome.
Batteries Included.
Features that could be Added or Improved on:
AM Reception, Good for Locals Only atm.
Fix Volume, Too Loud at the Lowest Setting for Normal Use.
Improve Speaker Audio.
Overall, this radio gets a "Maybe" recommendation from me. It works fantastic as a backup radio that will mainly see use only in an Emergency.

Nice little emergency radio !
I have some emergency radios here, and one which stoods a little bit out is the hanrongda hrd-900. It receives really well in am/fm/sw, has memories, solar panel and crank, flash light and is very small. Amazing little radio. Only negative side is the sound, quite thin.
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you Chuck.
Love radios with weather alerts! great video you have there! Hope to see your reviews on Lijiani NOAA portable radio from amazon too.
Will it automatically go to weather alert for severe weather? And do the alerts come up for things like snowstorms, thunderstorms etc?
Great review sir, thank you!
I see the version of this with the solar panel and hand crank at Wal-Mart. Thinking about getting it. Where I live a weather radio is a must especially in tornado alley. I try to get one with S.A.M.E. technology which I don't think these have.
No, you need to go with a desktop midland for S.A.M.E. or find the HH54VP on sale at eBay: bit.ly/HH54VP , my review: ua-cam.com/video/3moNOFC3EVo/v-deo.html
I have this radio. I like it except for one thing. It siren sounds during the night with no weather bullitin. It is scarry aND madening. How can I turn this siren off?
92.9 is one of my Local FM Stations, I have one set to it
Hej Todderbert thanks for the review Midland emergency radios are very interesting. I do not own any of these radios but considering buying one. And think a good emergency radio should be in every home take care and have nice onsdag.
Hi. Thank you for the review. This or the c crane pocket?
Pocket.
Did the the Midland ER50 just come out before this ER10?
Yes, but the ER10 followed quickly after.
Can I used rechargeable batteries or lithiums in this model? Also, do you prefer this or the ER50 as an “only one” weather radio? If I can use the rechargeables, I am leaning toward this one for common battery compatibility and size.
This would be my backup radio. I would choose the C.Crane Radio Solar for my "only one" Weather radio: ua-cam.com/video/NP8b4W-mj7E/v-deo.html
have one,got it on clearence...still paid to much
How much?
@@whatisthisnewfeaturehandle I think it was $10 maybe less
@@oldcarnocar that's not that bad
these literally go for $24.99 in 2025. so I think $10 or less is just fine. lmao
I Know Midland’s official position on rechargeables (at least in their desktop WR120) is that they are not advised. Is there any reason not to use them in this radio?
Should work fine, the light may be a little dimmer due to the lower voltage.
Thanks for the reply!
Nice! Got any first time alert radio recommendations? Thanks, an awesome video
If you need one for stay at home use, invest in a Midland WR150 or better table unit. They are fantastic, and will run up to fifty hours on batteries, if the power goes out. If you want AM FM and Weather the WR300, and WR400 have those frequencies. If you want a portable, the best one is the one you can easily carry. One of the best made Emergency portables is the CC Radio Solar.
@@todderbert thank you so much! Thank you sir. This is awesome.
How long can wx alert mode run on battery power?
I'm guessing like 2 days idk
I wonder if they fix the volume on this by now in 2024
This is actually better then the ER50
ER50 can charge and solar charge batteries, but ER10VP, only 3 AA alkaline batteries. Don’t put lithium AA batteries.
@@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY why what's wrong with lithium AA batteries in the ER10?
I just shake the radio to empty the batteries 🤣
I just picked up an er10vp
Nice! Mine's arriving in 2 days.
Is it possible to start doing simple (and hopefully reversible) teardowns to see what main ICs are being used? My guess is that there are 2 or 3 different brands digital receivers (Skyworks/SiLabs, etc.). This would give a new dimension to your channel. You talk about AM antenna. Let’s see it! 😉
Is there any reason why you're only reviewing "made in China " brands? No German HiFi brands?? Japanese?
Which small weather radios are made in Germany, or Japan ?
Oh yeah, I have a version2 lol
THE BEST LITTLE WHEATER RADIO YOU COULD BUY EXPENSIVE BY THE WAY.....
I agree, the price is right, and running on Standard AAs is a plus.
i have this one
