 GREAT BUY FOR THE MONEY June 13, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I purchased this lantern after reading a review of another lantern on the Gadgeteer. My aim was to get a lantern for power outages and to take along on car trips. So far I have used it for a backyard BBQ when light was scarce. It worked great. I have also used the radio for patio listening. This little light is great! Lightweight, bright, has a built in hook, radio, crank and battery power, plus AC charging. I leave it plugged in and the red L.E.D.s provide a nice night light. I would buy this again and recommend it highly.

In terms of practical use in blackout/emergency conditions, this lantern didn't work well for me. Although the radio is very good sound quality, the lantern isn't very bright to light a room in a blackout, and also only lasts for 6 minutes on a 1 minute crank. Since we were out of power all night, it got really tiring to crank every 5 minutes.

This is a great lantern. You don't have to crank it very long to produce a good light, and it lasts a long time on a charge. The radio sounds better than I expected, too.

Not the brightest lantern around, but bright enough for emergencies. It takes alkaline or rechargeable AA's (3), and they can be recharged in the unit. Haven't tried the crank. Surprisingly good radio. Seems sturdy. I'm going to buy more to keep around the house for power outages.

I started out looking for a simple light source to be used during a possible power outage. In time I found the KPO52. A great package with lots of features. I'm a "happy camper".
