Midland WR300

Pros: Durable.  Many features.  Extra online support easy to find.

Cons: Set-up menu system is very tedious.  No hi-fi music.

The Bottom Line: Easy to recommend.

Review: The many previous reviews for the Midland WR-300 are all extremely consistant with each other.  It is easy for me to agree with all that has been said right down to the minute details both pro and con.  But lets go beyond what has already been ...

Pros: Reliability, Ease of Use, Quality, Stability, Receptivity and Selectivity, Alert Volume

Cons: Not good as an AM/FM clock radio.

The Bottom Line: I give this a definite buy for principal use as a weather radio.

Review: This is a superb weather radio. I have been searching and tried a number of consumer retail weather radios over the years in the moderately expensive price range. None have performed, as well as, the Midland WR-300. It works absolutely flawlessly as a ...

Pros: Features for the money, purchase price, easy to use once setup

Cons: Difficult to setup, must download codes from internet, no wall bracket

The Bottom Line: A potential life saver, well worth the money...more features than radios costing $20-30 more.

Review: This radio is a vast improvement over my 15-year old weatheralert radio. The S.A.M.E. encoding means I can pick and choose what counties to program in. I chose the county I live in and about a dozen other counties to the north, west, southwest, and ...

Pros: 24-hour weather alerts, battery back up, radio and alarm feature

Cons: mediocre sound quality, interference and hissing through speaker at times

The Bottom Line: This is a WEATHER radio, so get it for the weather alerts and associated peace of mind. It will only disappoint for playing music.

Review: First and foremost, the Midland Weather Radio Model WR-300 is a Weather radio. Sure, it has a clock radio capability, but it is more of a sleep saving device, rather than an awakening device. We live on the periphery of tornado alley, and ...

Pros: Very sensitive. S.A.M.E. technology Battery backup

Cons: Difficult to program Mediocre clock radio. Annoying beeps.

The Bottom Line: The Midland WR-300 is a fantastic weather/all-hazard radio radio that could save your life. Buy it.

Review: Appearance The WR-300 is described on the box as a “Weather Monitor with All-Hazards Alert.” It is a nice looking sloped panel radio with a telescopic antenna. A battery (not included) should be installed to power the radio during power outages. The ...

Pros: Great WX features

Cons: AM reception stinks

Review: This weather radio has great weather radio features and the FM is good. However the AM reception is deaf as a doorknob unless you are right in the city. I am only 30 miles from Columbus Ohio and can barely get their strongest station and it is the ONLY ...
