This Weather Alert Radio Is Like Having A Robot Sidekick In The Wild

This piece was written by the Cracked Shop to tell you about products that are being sold there.

Well, summer is more or less here, despite Memorial Day being a thunderstormy jerk, so it's time to gear up to get outdoors. You'll make your trip to REI, no doubt, but do they really care about you? Last time we went -- you know, in 2017 -- the clerk wouldn't even give us a hug. Well, we care, and that's why we'd like you to consider the Sidekick Weather Alert Radio with Bluetooth (R).

This Sidekick is, well, like a robot sidekick that's rugged enough to go off the grid with you. It features solar-powered charging and Bluetooth, so it'll charge throughout the day and allow you to stream your favorite music anywhere or tune into weather reports and more. It even has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that can charge your phone for you, too. If the sun isn't cooperating enough to charge the Sidekick, it also has a hand crank power generator so you can stay connected and build up those biceps at the same time.

The Sidekick radio has a digital tuner and display that receives AM/FM, SAME, and NOAA signals, and features a bright LED flashlight, red emergency beacon, and an extra-large ambient light with a dimmer, so it's basically an entire emergency kit in one. Unfortunately, as far as we know, it will not sprout legs and go down to the river to fetch you some water. But that's it's only shortcoming!

The Sidekick Weather Alert Radio with Bluetooth(R) is an Amazon's Choice product for good reason. Normally $99, you can get it today for just $72.99 when you use promo code RADIO7 at checkout.
