Pros: SAME Area specific programming, visual and audible alerts, battery backup, easy to program, price Cons: None really! Not even the overabundance of alerts is a problem for me. from Shopping.com Pros: SAME (localized alerts)Battery backup Cons: Can be highly annoying for regions with active weather patterns The Bottom Line: If you are worried about severe weather, this is exactly what you need. Review: Generally speaking, this is a great product. from Shopping.com Pros: S. A. from Shopping.com Setup was easy although I had to look around on the web to find out what counties surround me to enter into the reciever. I did not, at first, set how the receiver was to alert me. from Amazon.com I have two of these radios, one for my home and one for my lake house. I like being able to program each one to alert me where I am and also at the other place. This allows me to keep up with the weather at both places, which is 60 miles apart. Works great good quality for the money. from Amazon.com First, the bad. Tornado warnings aren't the only kind of alarms you'll get on this. There's been nights when it goes off every few hours due to thunderstorms or flood warnings, and the alarm is always the same until you head over to the unit to see what the brouhaha was about. It is loud enough to hear upstairs with the radio downstairs; since my husband works off shifts sometimes, that is a relief. from Amazon.com For the past week we have gone under severe thunderstorm watches and warnings as well as tornado watches. I belong to a weather blog as well as being a stormchaser. I bought a Midland hoping to be able to warn my daughter of danger when I was at work. Since buying it four months ago ( I know it is programmed correctly) it has correctly gone off once out of about 12 alert times. from Amazon.com I hate this thing. It certainly alerts you of any severe weather, I'll give it that, but the sound it emits is a nightmare! I'd rather get up and listen to the weather on the TV than that thing! from Amazon.com The Midland weather radio gives us current, accurate information on the weather at a touch of a button. The alarm during weather emergencies has been very informative. from Amazon.com I purchased the Midland WR100, which I assume is an earlier version of this product, three years ago from Amazon. This month it stopped working. from Amazon.com
