I recently purchased 4 of the Midland HH50 Pocket Weather Radios for use in our school system. The units have worked excellently. from Amazon.com Other Thoughts: All in all this little unit does what it say, BUT it could do in MUCH, MUCH better. I was very disappointed with the over all construction of the device. It seems that Midland is equating "Small and Compact" with "Make it as cheap as you can get a way with and still have it work." It's fine if you want something to bang around in your car or as a back-up, but I would not rely on this for your regular weather radio. Spend another $20.00 and get something that has some true quality behind it. from Newegg.com what can i say? amazing radio, just insert batteries tun it on, and it auto scans to the local channel. im in the country and live in a trailer where no cell phones and amfm radios hardly get out but the midland hh50 picks up crystal clear even without the antenna extended. I bought this radio in febuary and use it daily to check forcast and use it when the weather is looking bad and i havent changed the batteries in it yet. from Amazon.com I have other Midland radios including a MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio, which always alarms when it should and works flawlessly. The HH50 will not ever alarm. from Amazon.com Purchased my Midland HH50 Weather radio almost a year ago. It works well delivering weather forecasts & storm alerts as needed. from Amazon.com This radio is ideal ONLY in a strong signal area. OK, our 1970's no-name weather radio is ten times better. The Midland HH50 is loaded with features that make it useless. Namely, it initially scans for the strongest signal. from Amazon.com I have a NOAA weather radio for my home, and bought the Midland HH50 for times I'm away, such as car trips, birding, camping, etc. I've read reviews concerning static and poor sound quality, and haven't experienced either. from Amazon.com I purchased this unit for I own several Midland weather radios and find them to be of consistent high quality and reliability This little number I feel will give me the same quality that I am used to with Midland. My only complaint with the radio is its size. from Amazon.com I have had a Midland Pocket Weather Radio for a year or so. I love it! from Amazon.com There are a couple things to keep in mind about the "alert" feature, if you are buying it for that. 1) It will drain your batteries while it is in the alert mode, and you won't know when you run out - so if you're looking for one to be constantly on alert mode in your home, you should look for one of the ones that plugs into the wall. 2) It isn't limited by location or type of alert, just if there is any alert being broadcast by the station it is picking up, it will go off - for instance once it gave me an alert for thunderstorms in a city 50 miles from here. However, for my purposes this radio is perfect - I leave it completely off most of the time, but when I hear the severe weather sirens go off outside or there are really strong winds blowing things around, I turn it on and listen to the broadcast. from Amazon.com
