Review: Nice little emergency radio that does exactly what was advertised. - Nice little radio! We tested this out with another radio during a winter storm this weekend. It worked great. It had fantastic sound and signal. The NOAA weather channel came through great. It is what you would expect from Midland. It is lightweight and small. The flashlight was bright. It did what it said it would do. That said, I wish that it had solar charging backup. It is similar to the old transistor radios of my youth.
Review: It’s a solid weather radio, and everyone should have one. - I able to figure out how to program it without even reading the directions, but I did go back and read up all the details to see if I missed anything. It actually has a lot of different alert options from visual, sound, and voice. The AM/FM works, although I imagine your reception has more to do with your location and surroundings than it does the radio. I see people complaining about it not giving off alerts, did you not choose your state and county? There’s no way it doesn’t go off unless somehow you screwed up when you were programming it. It’s not a smart radio, it doesn’t have GPS to locate your exact coordinates, so it won’t give you alerts without programming it. As long as you choose your state and county, you can know with certainty it’ll work. The S.A.M.E stations are pretty easy to check as there’s only handful of national codes, and depending on your region, the same codes can/will be different for someone in New York vs someone in Texas. I was able to pick up around 4-5 different codes (areas) within my state by moving the antenna around. I found most of them to be pretty similar in content outside of one that is located around 200+ miles away. The others were all about the same as far as areas covered and updates given. Check out the NOAA website and you can input your exact address. It’ll show you an interactive map, and show you the closest stations to you, the areas that your location is part of, and other relevant information. I suggest keeping batteries in it, and leaving it plugged in; as in the batteries should only power this radio whenever you’re without power. Some reviews complain about battery life, but if you have power, why would you ever waste batteries? I just don’t understand. It’s 4 AA batteries, not 4 C or D cell batteries. You can’t expect months out of a radio with this many features powered only by 4 AA batteries. That should be common sense. I spent a few hours messing with it, and left it on after setting it up. After about 5 hours, it still shows a full battery. (Batteries used: Duracell Optimum AA) After that I decided to plug it in, and leave it on my kitchen counter. That way when the power does go out, it’ll have batteries already in it, and it’ll be ready to go. At the end of the day, this is a weather radio.. with FM/AM radio/alarm clock features. Meaning this is a weather radio first and foremost, I don’t really care about the alarm clock, the AM/FM radio is a nice bonus, but I probably won’t use it for that to be honest. Living close to the Gulf of Mexico, I believe it’s a must to have weather radio for hurricane/tropical storm preparation. Hopefully I never have to use it, but if I do, then I’ll certainly be glad to have it. I don’t think you really put a price on peace of mind, but for me I’d say it’s worth it. Not only for peace of mind, but all things considered, it feels quality, and it performs well through the number of tests I ran it through. The alerts are loud. I’d suggest not keeping this in your bedroom, and especially not by your nightstand. I keep mine in my kitchen, and I can easily hear it from my bedroom; so just something to keep in mind. PS: To those upset about it shipping in the manufactures box; check before you buy. desertcart will warn you if the item ships in the manufacturers box. It’s literally right above the “place order” button, and it’s hard to miss. For something like this I don’t mind much to be honest. It arrived safely. Sometimes it gets thrown around more when it’s put into a larger desertcart box, so I only make sure to hide what’s inside when the item noticeably valuable, like a printer, security cameras, or a PS5. Mark the item as a gift if you wish to hide the contents, and it’ll ship in an desertcart box.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: i see iceberg warning, avalanche warning but no tornado warning? does this unit have a tornado warning? i see watch but no warning in the setup menu.**
A: You can’t disable thunderstorm warning which I don’t really care about. So, to avoid being woken up in the middle of the night, I turn the whole thing off. So stupid and now the radio is useless. Tornado would be the only reason we would need to be woken up.

**Q: does it have battery back up power**
A: The Midland WR 110/120 B & EZ all take 3 AA (Double A) Batteries. 

This is a Public Alert Certified Weather/Hazards Alert radio.

They last about 8 days for regular Energizer/Duracell AA Batts.

Li-Ion  Batteries last about 13 days. I don't recommend rechargeable batteries, they have a lower initial mah and voltage, and I've seen the radios just shut down without warning 

This is a life saving device, as such, it samples the wx frequencies every second of every day, 24x7, basically the WX Receiver is always on, and receiving, but not sending audio to the speaker.

**Q: Can you receive regular AM/FM stations on this unit?**
A: Unfortunately, you can't receive radio stations on it.  However, there is a built in alarm that can be set.  I hope that this answered your question.

**Q: Does this work when you travel?**
A: It says receive alerts for only your specific local area with Specific Area Message Encoding Technology.  I believe you can use it when traveling but may need to program it for the area you are in.  It's recommended by Dept of Homeland Security for Emergency Preparedness

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ER10 is pretty nice
*by J***N on October 17, 2025*

The ER10 is a very good weather radio and is a very good battery life with it still at 100% after using it for a good two days with it, even coming with its own battery’s. It’s pretty decently easy to use which unless you’re an iPad kid who haven’t even gone outside this week you should be able to use it as it’s just moving an antenna around and scrolling through numbers until you hear something that sounds pretty decent and once you hear the hope of a voice, you just move the arena around to get on the frequency. The WX band is where you hear what the national weather service is hearing the AM band is where you hear news and the FM band is we’re you hear muisic. The video is really weird though where it works in certain spots and not the others so it’s interesting. I found that mine works better outside. It’s late is very bright so if you want a good light during a power outage or something like that, it’s useful.. It’s very nice and small easy to fit in your pocket. And it’s a really good find for someone who just wants to be prepared someone who goes off the grade and camps and wants to know the weather or weather nerd. I personally really like this specific model which the model is very depending on what you get so I’m not sure about the others but this one’s pretty nice with if you get some others you need to like put in your county, but this one is just tuning in the frequencies. I pressed that from knowing the weather off the grid but Overall, this is a great product and I really like it.
