Not worth the $50 cost. It is out of warranty and they want $45 plus shipping to repair. So as far as the WR-300, not going to waste another $50 on an item that won't last. This is Midlands fault and not a bad mark against Newegg. from Newegg.com We have been using the Midland WR300 for about a year now and it works perfectly. We have been alerted of a tornado in the middle of the night, even were told of a rare Winter Storm warning here in the great state of North Carolina. from Amazon.com Before buying the Midland WR300, I read many user reviews on various web sites that complained that the sound quality for the AM FM radio wasn't very good. My response to that is, "What were you expecting?" Like most (if not all) weather radios it has just a single speaker with the primary purpose of delivering a spoken weather message, and it performs that job very well. from Amazon.com Of all of them I would recommend this unit first if what you are looking for is a tough, easily programmed, quality radio with excellent reception of weather broadcasts. If you are looking for something for your bedside, or something to play AM FM, there are cheaper models that serve that purpose just as well. This radio,(along with its cheaper counterpart also made by Midland), in my opinion represent the very best for the pure weather enthusiast like myself that don't really care about any AM FM features or reception. I happen to own the camouflage version of this radio, (that looks really cool by the way), but underneath is the very same design. from Amazon.com This is a nice weather radio. It lets you select which alerts will sound the alarm and in which counties. from Amazon.com In fact, the weather alert for Tornadoes in my county has gone off up to 1 minute sooner than the warning sirens in the city. 1 minute in a tornadic thunderstorm can save lives. Thanks Midland for a great device! Cons: None from Newegg.com I have used the Midland WR300 Weather Radio for about 5-6 weeks. I have been very pleased with the way it works. from Amazon.com Not only does this product work well, Midlands customer service is top notch. I rate the radio 4.5 stars and the customer service a solid 5. from Amazon.com MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio I purchased this radio and believe the radio is either defective or impossible to program. I am skilled in electronics and cannot program this radio. from Amazon.com I have previously used Radio Shack weather alert radios, which are amazingly simple to program to your area and your alerts. The Midland has better range, but is a pain to program....requiring you to look up your community/communities on the internet to obtain their ID numbers and input them into the unit. from Amazon.com
