Advantages: Easy to use, sensitive world-band receiver Disadvantages: No Clock & Not water-proof, but a sundial & plastic bag fixes that!
Feather-weight Radio with a big green heart!
This Eton FR250 packs a lot of performance in a small form factor (about six inches square and under 2 inches thick).
Reception is good for its price-range, and large chunky controls are easy to use - even with gloves!
The FR250's greenest feature is its wind-up power generation mode, pitched by Eton as an "Emergency Radio, the wind-up power feature is also a great way to stay warm & focused in cold conditions!
Other Emergency features include a bright LED torch, Flashing Red beacon and a ear-piercing Siren to attract attention in difficult rescue locations. Its Emergency status is bolstered by an external port which can charge a mobile phone from the FR250's own power-generator, and be powered by an external mains transformer, or only three AA batteries if available in the urban ...

(It takes ten AA size battery's if you would want to use this function, and lasts up to two and a half hours depending on the batteries used.) Although I do generally plug mine into the mains.
The electronic wizardry in this instrument means you can select from ten different accordion types, each with its own associated registers and to the ear is indistinguishable from its acoustic cousins, and as if that was not enough, it boasts several orchestral sounds including violin, steel guitar and choir. The fr-3s also has ...
Advantages: Built In Conditioner, quiet, stylish, effective Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle to clean
and colours. The feel of it is very comfortable on the hand and is easy to grip, due to slight ridges around the back of the shaver. This also makes it very comfortable and easy to hold, which i would say is one of the most important factors in something that is to be used daily. Also, obviously, it must be good at its job. Which this shaver is. It did a very good job, and was the closest shave i have ever had. I was previously using a gillette mach 3 razor and shaving foam. The Philips shaver eliminates the need for shaving foam, which i always found an annoyance.
