Great value and easy to set up. Has been dead on with every storm that entered my preprogramed area.

This is partly my own fault for not researching more, but I was shocked to learn that this has no way of filtering the events it screams at you about. I only wanted this to tell me when there was a tornado warning: a thunderstorm watch or a high wind advisory is not worth waking me up at 3am for.
My advice: spend more and get something that only alerts you for things that matter.

This is a good, dependable, basic weather/hazard radio. It was easy to set up and can monitor several counties. This is good if you live near the border of one or more counties. The directions do a good job of helping you find the codes for the counties you need. It does use batteries as a backup. This model, however, cannot delete watches, so you will hear every watch or warning given out, at any time of the day or night.
The radio can be set to use one of three types of alert modes: siren, voice, and red flashing light. Since the flashing light won't wake anyone in the night, your choices are siren or voice. You cannot adjust the volume, so be prepared to be jolted out of your sleep if a watch or warning is given during the night. There is also an alarm setting on the radio if you wish to use it for this purpose.
You can review any watches or warnings given while you were out by pressing a button on the machine. Anytime you wish to hear the current weather, you just push a button and you will be connected to the weather station for your area.

This item was recommended by a ham radio operator, who works with the hurricane center in Miami during storms. He bought one at Publix for $30. I found this one on Amazon for $30 and free shipping. What a bargain! It was easy to set up, and now we're waiting for a big storm to test it out. Wait, please, no big storms!

I like the way it localizes warnings unlike earlier radios that would warn of bad weather several counties away.
