Great value and easy to set up. Has been dead on with every storm that entered my preprogramed area.
Bought three, one works!! [Posted on 2008-09-07]
In November 2006, I ordered 3 of these as Christmas gifts. Within six months, one was not working. I was able to send it back because it was still under warranty. Shortly after the warranty period was over, another one quit working. Only one of the three originals are still working. I am very disappointed with this product.
Serves The Purpose...... [Posted on 2008-09-13]
I bought this weather radio as a secondary receiver due to all the storms that the Northeast received during this past Summer.
Our original weather receiver is the sister to the WR100 the Midland WR300 and still works very well.
Though this radio does not have all the Bells & Whistles as the 300, it did serve the purpose we bought it for.
One difference with this unit compared to the WR300 is the volume control. The 300 volume control is a knob on the side of the unit compared to the 100 that is controlled with up-down button control on the top of the unit.
Also with the 300, you can control the level of siren tone you wish to use
(low - high), but with the 100 there is one set level of the tone which is high.
The 100 does have a digital screen type of display which will inform you of the type of watches or warnings being announced but will not inform you of it's expiration time (watches/warnings) as does the WR300.
It does not take up much room on a table or cabinet.
Both the 100 & 300 are battery backup working on AA batteries.
One feature not contained in the 100 is the AM/FM radio which can be used also to monitor local news. If you do not need this radio feature, then this radio is for also for your purpose.
Though many look at costs these days, life and safety can not be bought. But a good reliable working radio is the number one concern to be considered.
With the recent change of weather patterns in the USA, NO HOUSE should be without a weather radio to keep you up-to-date with watches & warnings in the summer and/or winter.
BE PREPARED!
Great product [Posted on 2008-09-22]
The Midlands Weather Alert radio is easy to program, and has great features & controls. My only reason to give it only 4 stars is because the volume control is by preset notches, and I would like it to be 1 notch quieter. We turn it on to listen to the weather when we are going to sleep, and it is a little too loud for me.(but it might be ok for someone else) It is also much better than a more expensive model we got at Radio Shack which has only VERY LOUD volume, and is hard to program (some settings are impossible).

I was pleased with how easy it was to set up. I haven't had any alerts yet, so I don't know how well it works.
