I bought the smaller version of this radio after the Ohio tornados, and was reminded again why I have it after the Kentucky tornados. Both of these incidents occurred at night and you want as much warning from as many sources as possible. It's also important to have a source of information in the aftermath an event as well, once hurricane Katrina had passed survivors were unaware of supplies that were available a few blocks from their location because their phone service was out and they didn't a battery powered radio.
If the battery goes completely dead on the ER210. No matter how long you charge it or crank it, put it in the sun it stays dead. My old Grundig Crank radio, got me through many events including Superstorm Sandy. The newer CCranes got me through power outages, blizzards, etc. This E210 was useless when I needed it. It may have been a defective battery. Who knows. All I know it was not ready to work when I needed it. I am glad I didn't dump my old Grundig with duct tape on it and bent antenna. Also the CCranes were there in time of emergency. The Midland ER210 is just good to put under an uneven table in a time of emergency. Just speaking from experience. Peace.
@@SensiblePrepper when the radio dies, whitch way should I rotate when I crank it? When I do a 360 while I crank it How many do I have to do? How long should I crank it? My arm get tired.
My first Midland CB was just 23 channel. I upgraded to 40 channels with Single Side Band once those came up. Definitely a nice radio here. Thanks for your coverage, brother.
Good review. I still have my old Midland CB :) I also have an older, very similar model of this E-Ready in a Midland ER210 model, purchased almost four years ago. The ER210 radio appears to be the exact same radio as the Midland E-Ready demonstrated here, but made with some very practical modifications. The downsides of the ER210 includes a 18650 Li-on proprietary plug in connector type battery, which apparently are not easy to find. The LAST thing any emergency radio should have is a hard to find replacement battery, even a battery of top quality as seems the case. But we all know that even the best battery is going to degrade over time, so it's good to see that this deficiency was addressed by the E-Ready unit, designed to also accept common household batteries. Another downside of the ER210 was that it came with an awkwardly short USB A/USB C cable. On top of that, the USB C side was a non standard size. The plug casing (the part you hold onto to plug it in) is smaller than any other USC C's that I have come across (and I have looked). I'd like to know if this is still the case with the E-Ready. A standard 'C" plug can be made to fit into the ER210 slot, but doing so places too much tension on the 'C" plug receptacle, which can only degrade the plug over time. You have to insert a standard size plug into it gingerly, then wait for the red LED to light, then STOP and carefully set the unit down. If they'd set the radio's casing molding perhaps 1mm wider in the receptacle location, or if possible, they had moved the plug itself that distance away from the edge of the casing, it'd easily take a common 'C' size cable plug. This is another non standard part, the opposite of what any emergency radio should have. Use of common connectors and batteries is only common sense. We know why companies like to use proprietary parts and this is a particular fail in an emergency radio. On the ER210, the Solar bar on top is more of a booster, extender or maintainer than a charger. I tested the Solar "charging" capacities when the ER210 was still close to new, and found that it might take a full charge after three strait days in direct sunshine while periodically re-positioning the panel at a prime angle for max sun, with the unit off. It's my understanding that it's not ideal to charge batteries while they are in use. The ER210's are still available for about $30.00. If I followed the Sportsman's Guide discounts and assuming an additional 'Buyers Club' membership discount, then this works out to $52.99 ea. for the E-Ready or $105.98 for both. (Do your own math, I still haven't quite woken up here). price
Remember getting that plus FRS plus a nice flashlight from Menards for 15 bucks during Black Friday a few years back. It is powered by an 18560 with a built in protection circuit. The solar panel will keel the battery topped off from a window sill or a brightly lit room.❤
I bought one of these radios last year. Just FYI I found it incapable of charging my iphone 6 with the included lithium battery even fully charged. I tested a comparable battery and same thing. So not much good as a power bank. This will likely be a deal breaker for most and not sure if my unit was defective and was looking to see if others had the same problem. When switched to the AA batteries it charged my phone just fine. Radio reception of the NOAA channel (or in Canada the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) (eye roll) radio Hz was barely there. Do I need a special antenna to pick up shortwave? Thanks in advance.
Good review. I was trying to hear how the AM/FM sounds, however, you talked over it. This made it difficult to hear the quality of the sound from AM/FM. It was still an excellent review and you covered so much. Thank you for your review!
Thanks for the great review, I just purchased this radio and have yet to receive it. And find myself very excited to have it in my arsenal of emergency devices.
Sir, I'm hoping to find a weather radio that lets you customize the settings & I wonder if you know if this one does. For example, I live in MO & only want my radio to go off for tornado warnings. The other radios I've had in the past were all or nothing, you'd get that startling alarm for a tornado watch or severe thunderstorm warning. My heart can't take that kind of scare for lesser storms, so I want to find a radio I can customize in that way. Thanks for your thoughts & thanks for your channel! God bless!
All my grippy plastics over a decade become incredibly tacky as well, the oils seep to the surface and renders the item useless. How can this be delayed in storage? Flashlights, radios, walkie talkies, binoculars all had this problem after redoing my get home bag, lost funds. Wish I could buy plastics that did not do this, I think if it has ruberized feel it is a no go for me moving forward, only nylon or rigid type polymers from what I can tell.
Our radio, is about 6 year's old, we don't have the dog whistle, but it's been a good radio. Costco, will carry them that's where we bought ours, It was around the $30.00 price, tag, .
I have an older version of this radio, the solar charging on mine sucks, it takes many days to charge and I live in Tucson, AZ where we have over 300 days of sun per year, and lately we have been just hoping for even the chance for rain...
Thanks for the review. I am assuming this is the ER310. I had avioded this model because of an @mazon review complaining that the battery was not easily replaceable. The reviewer showed an 18650 battery but with wire leads and a connector. Yours looks like it takes a standard 18650 with a button on the + end, which can be found pretty easily and I have several already for flashlights. Anyway, it was an older review (2017) and I guess Midland changed the design to accomodate readily available replacements.
you said you could not use rechargable AA's so why would you change the switch when charging from a USB power source??? I would think the switch was to change the power source in the radio not to change the charging..
I have the Midland ER210. It's a little smaller than the one you have. It doesn't have the AA battery holder or the dog whistle, but otherwise it's the same. It's a great emergency radio - durable, sensitive, and versatile. I keep it on my desk but it'll go into my bugout bag if I have to evacuate. (I live downwind of a nuclear power plant so if there's an incident, I need to be able to get news. And since most radio broadcasters have backup power, they're pretty reliable in a disaster.)
It won't recharge with solar. Bought one back in March and it's in my windowsill since. It still has only 2 battery dots. Fully recharged it would only recharge my smartphone about 15 percent. Also the hand crank wouldn't charge the battery more than 1 dot after 20 minutes of cranking. I'm sure it will get me radio and light in an emergency but I won't trust it as a source of energy for any device. Please let me know if any of you tested it properly and what your thoughts are. Thanks!
The yard stick in the background said Wade Hampton Blvd. Do you live in Greenville SC? That is where my family lives. I happen to live in Costa Rica and serve as a missionary here but enjoy your channel. My wife and I recently did all the requirements to conceal carry here since we have permanent residency. It is quite the experience and makes me appreciate that the U.S. has a 2nd amendment. Keep fighting for it.
I was looking at getting another radio. I already have an old ETON Scorpion but the dog on antenna pulled out one day. I spent a just trying to figure out how to get that sucker to go back in and ultimately had to superglue the little parts back onto it to get it to stay. Needless to say there was no point buying a Scorpion 2. I have looked at the Midland 210 already. I’ll check out the 310
Well apparently your microphone picked up on the dog whistle because when you turned it on the volume of your voice dropped, and when you turned it off your volume increased. Cool stuff!
These things seem to have issues after a while if they are used very much. Its been around 9 months since this review, do you still feel like recommending this radio? I need something for WX and AM in the event the local power gets turned off or something else happens. Tried a Running Snail which was great, but two weeks of use and the LCD screen stated to die, so you could not tune it any longer. Is this still a HAPPY radio at this time?
If your on a budget get the Midland ER10VP on bass pro for $20 I'd recommend getting a ham radio it's NOAA and FM radio capable for a real life threatening emergency you can get in contact with some even if cellphone towers are down. Here I FL we have sar net 28 + repeaters that are connected so you should be covered 80 to 90% of FL
FM tuning is with steps of 0.2 MHz in odd numbers, so some stations that transmit on frequencies ended with decimal even numbers can not be tune with Midland emergencies radios ER210 and ER310. The reception of emergency radios is not the best. I recommend a good quality rechargeable and portable radio instead, like a C. Crane Skywave or Skywave SSB paired with at least 5 W solar panel, and a good hand and/or pedal crank generator.
Good info. Don. Need a good radio for emergency. I have a Kaito Voyager for my multi power source radio that has same functions as the Midland. Prep On T
Thx for this review. Btw would you have any reviews on garmin gps devices and navigation tips in general for when you might find yourself out in the elements without any modern devices?
I noticed it doesn’t turn off. I was going to keep the the AA battery area empty and have the switch on it so it doesn’t drain the LI battery. Is that ok to do?
Mindland makes some great products. Slightly over priced but full of features. The hand cranks are terrible tho. Lots of cranking for a min or 2 of music and less of light.
I have one of these. Nice little radio/weather/flashlight.ect. Do I want to put it in a faraday cage? (I have a small one) I currently have it in my BOB
Did anyone else notice that when the dog whistle is turned on, volume level the mic is picking up gets quieter? Seriously. And likewise when it was turned off, it returns to normal level. (Sootch, did you hear any kind of a distortion or anything at all with the dog whistle being on?) I swear the sound level of the video drops when its turned on. Interesting, anyway.
I have the newer version of this, it’s pretty much the same but the reception sucks even with the antenna up, only picks up two radio stations and zero weather channels, pretty disappointed.

I got this Midland model at a thrift store new in the box for $5
That's a steal - those are like $80 new
Wish I had your luck!
Awesome. They are made cheap. I dont like midland at all. Nothing they make is water proof
I’ll have you $8 final offer
You got a box for 5.00,lol.
I have this radio and LOVE it. It's my shop radio and my weather radio when I camp. I would never leave without it.
Thank you so much for this awesome review of the radio. Dad just purchased one because of your video. Thanks a million ~ Mandy
That's so true that the rubbery outsides get sticky or tacky. That's one reason I'm looking to replace our current emergency radio.
I just bought a bushcraft knife and it’s got the rubber handle and I just know it will go sticky it was my mistake will know for the next knife
@DownintheHoller , thank you for that tip!
I Aready bought that radio 📻
I've had this radio for years and it works great. I never knew it had the dog whistle, thanks Sootch
I double checked the model number. This is the same radio I got a Bass Pro in 2018. Great radio, don't hesitate to pick one up.
If the battery goes completely dead on the ER210. No matter how long you charge it or crank it, put it in the sun it stays dead.

Great video, Thank You Can you use two CR123 rechargeable lithium batteries in place of the 18650.
That's an excellent informational addition to the presentation.
Wanted to say thanks for this video. I have been on rhe fence about buying this. Bit the bullet and bought today for $25.92
I have this same model. Works great!
Does the rechargeable lithium battery work as a power bank to charge a smartphone? Mine doesn't.
Can you share how is this holding up after a year or so?
You might also want to invest in a midland desktop for the nightstand midland er300 has capability to set it only for your county
You should be able to add an Amazon link in order to get a small referral $$ in order to help fund your channels.
What if you plug it in, put it in the sun and operate the hand crank all together will it charge faster.
