Great product

Rating: 5/5

I disagree with one of the other reviews posted here. The WR-100 does not need batteries to operate and functions extremely well if programed with the correct SAME codes. . Our radio was extremely easy to program and was operable within 5 minutes of opening the box. Make sure you refer to the instructions and acquire the SAME County codes via the NOAA website: www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm

I highly recommend this model to anyone who might live in a dangerous weather region, I live in the heart of tornado alley.

This is a great product which has not failed my family yet. Please make sure you check into the products you need.

Very Disappointed!

Purchased this radio and set it up by the manual. This radio will NOT operate with AC power alone. It also requires 3 AA batteries to operate the digital readout. Within the first 3-4 days the batteries were drained dead and unit would not operate.
I changed to new batteries and again in about 3-4 days, thoses batteries were dead. I replaced with the 3 set of batteries and once again, about 3-4 days they were dead again. The radio was set on "Alert Only" so, therefore would not constantly play, only when receiving a weather bulletin. Only once during my 2 week ownership did the unit alert, and that was during a weekly test from NOA radio. This unit was absolutely terrible. Thank goodness for the good people at Amazon, I was able to return this crap back at no cost to me, and a full refund. I strongly suggest that you look at another specific brand besides a battery eating monster like this one was. Very Disappointed in this brand.

A good buy

I recently purchased the Midland WR100 for my mother-in-law's home. I own the Midland 74-200 radio and it has worked well. The WR100 is much easier to program than the 74-200. The manual is much easier to read than the somewhat cryptic 74-200 manual. Either radio is a great choice. Features are similar for each. The main difference is the LCD display. The WR100 faces the top (parallel to the ground), while the 74-200 faces the front (perpendicular to the ground.) This may be an issue in regards to placement.
