Eton helps you stay prepared and enjoy adventures, proudly partnering with the American Red Cross for 20+ years

How did we get our start?

Founded in 1986 in Northern California, Eton began by excelling in televisions, audio products, and radios under the German brand, Grundig. Our innovation in powerful shortwave radios allowed global access to diverse content, setting the stage for our growth. We then grew our focus to creating multi-purpose emergency tools, such as the hand-crank radio and flashlight, solidifying our commitment to preparedness and safety. Today, Eton continues to enhance outdoor adventures and ensure readiness for any crisis.

What makes our products unique?

Eton's products stand out for their innovative design and multi-functional capabilities, combining essential features like radios, flashlights, and solar-powered charging. Our collaboration with the American Red Cross ensures that our emergency tools are reliable and life-saving. Additionally, our commitment to quality and durability means our products are built to withstand the toughest conditions, keeping people connected, informed, and prepared during both everyday adventures and emergencies.

Why do we love what we do?

Our passion is driven by a deep commitment to helping people. We started by providing direct access to information through powerful, high-performance radios with shortwave functionality. This technology allowed listeners to tune into stations worldwide, beyond the confines of local AM and FM bands.

As we grow and innovate, our mission is to develop products that make outdoor adventures more enjoyable and help people be ready for any natural disaster or crisis. Our solutions ensure safety, provide power, enable connectivity, and bring fun to their experiences.

Title: Good quality and good solar recharge rate
Review: This purchase was a replacement for my original Eton Scorpion II. The first one was used so much that the crank handle knob wore out. I quickly fixed it and continued to use it for emergency use as well as for a beach and kayak radio. It had served me well for keeping abreast of storm warnings in North Carolina and after moving to Florida. I finally dropped it and lost my original. This replacement has been the best emergency radio and remains my favorite even after reviewing all the newer ones. I had my first for 5 years.

Title: Excellent Radio!
Review: I use this as my primary radio, I listen to Coast to Coast nightly and frequently during the day for news or background music. With a full charge it will play over 24 hrs on a.m. at normal room volume. The buttons are fine after you get used to them. You cannot connect your phone and crank it to completely recharge your phone, but you can crank it up enough for an emergency call easily enough. It does work as a backup Battery for your phone if it is first fully charged. I use it on my bicycle, my kayak and my boat and at work, I find it to be just great! The flashlight is nice to have, and the solar panel works fine but not as fast as recharging by usb. Weather band is nice too, and so is the bottle opener. This is my favorite and by far most used radio. I also have a Freeplay Tuf radio, a couple of Sony ICF-SMK2's a C.C. Radio Solar Plus, and a Grundig Satellit 750.

Title: good emergency radio which obeys the laws of physics
Review: This is a compact emergency device intended to provide critical emergency functions.It is small, light, and rugged. Buttons ad display are clear if you have good vision.If you need reading glasses you should get the larger FR3 radio with a larger display and more clear buttons.The solar and crank charging options work but are not intended to provide a lot of power.This will not support binge watching netlix during a blackout ;-)The solar panel will take a day or two to fully charge. If you want to quickly charge a phone you need 2 to 3 square feet of solar cellsthe crank takes hours to fully charge. Either method will give quickly minutes of radio usage or emergency phone charging.The battery is smaller than most phone batteries so it may drain completely and only partially charge a phone.Overall it performs emergency functions well within the physical limits of solar panel and battery size.

Title: So Far, So Good...
Review: ***Update 07/23/20 - So I have been using this Eton Scorpion II for about 2 month straight now and must say I am overall pretty happy with it but had to take away another star/rating because the solar panel function of the device is not consistent and “IPX/water resistance” rating. On one sunny day for about 8 hours of direct sunlight I got 2 bars on the battery display (max of 3 bars). On others only 1 bar...other charging functions work pretty well....outlet and crank (although you do need to crank it) a few minutes to get some radio time; the flash light will run for a while with only a few cranks.Note: The item claims it is “splash proof” with an IPX4 Rating however getting caught in a “light” drizzle/rain made the device not useful for about 2-3 days....luckily so far, after allowing it to dry-off, so far it is working again.***************I purchased this product to replace my old Eton Micro (12 years +) which I received as a gift and have stored in my emergency go-bag over the many years...after actually digging out and using my old Eton Micro I noticed that it was quite out of date; none of the wires and adapters were being used anymore. After actually using it for a few days, thought I upgrade to a digital display, better LED light, a water resistant/splash proof item, and an overall larger solar charging panel.FYI - it was between this device and the Midland ER210...but because of its smaller size, $20 cheaper price and primarily because of its splash proof IPX4 rating, I went with the Scorpion 2.This Eton Scorpion 2 has thus far been tested over the past 3 days. Everything from crank to solar to AC charging and I have to say that overall I am quite impressed. The product is rugged with rubber inserts which appear to be able to take light bumps...I would like to test out the water resistance without damaging it and might take it camping this summer and test in light rain. The solar charging did take over 8+ hours under partly cloudy skies to charge 2 bars. But other than that, pretty happy this far. I will be using it more that just to sit in my emergency go-bag since the device has a decent speaker. I will update this review once I have had the chance to REALLY test it out.

Title: Be Prepared!
Review: This is a very nice radio combination to have in case of extended power outage. It has a small solar panel to keep the batteries charged and if it's cloudy you can crank it to charge the batteries. And then you can use it to charge your cell phones. Of course you also have AM/FM radio and a flashlight really nice tool. Great to have an emergency situations

Review: El radio carga muy bien desde la manivela e incluso con su panel solar que es de mayor tamaño que el modelo microlink FR-160 que también carga muy bien con el sol. En la CDMX capta aceptablemente la señal de radio de emergencia con el protocolo de NOAA Weather Radio donde entre otras alertas, se incluye la sísmica. Además en cinco minutos con la manivela para carga de celular, obtuve casi un 6% de batería de un Nexus 6p, hablando muy bien de la capacidad de carga del Eton Scorpion. Me parece una buena compra y lo uso todas las mañanas para escuchar el radio antes de salir a trabajar en las mañanas. Altamente recomendable.

Review: Usualmente acampo durante el año unas 4-6 veces, siempre cargo con una lampara de cabeza y esta maravilla. Cuando no salgo esta lista en mi mochila de emergencia, cuenta con todo lo necesario. Si algo le pudiese criticar es que las celdas solares son malas, pero no esperaba algo tipo GoalZero por el precio, pero no esperes cargar tu celular via solar con este dispositivo, la manivela puede ser más efectiva para cargar la lampara en todo caso. 100 % recomendable.

Review: En Mexico no se conecta al sistema de alerta de EE.UU. resistente y bueno para agarrar algunas estaciones incluso en el bosque.La manecilla carga bien al igual que la carga a toma corriente. Carga pésimo con el panel solar es más eficaz la manecilla. Pésimo power ban se carga menos del 10 % de batería y se descarga el equipo por completo.El envío fue en el tiempo esperado.

Review: This device is alright. I think it serves its purpose well - the radio reception is good, it produces light, its rugged enough that it should survive a splash and a drop and it is self-powered.The flashlight on it is, however, horrible. The color tint is a sickly green, the light's fairly dim and the beam is quite narrow. It serves the purpose of producing light, which is perhaps about all you can expect in an emergency situation, but as LED flashlights go it's pretty poor.The power bank function works well but I wish it had a higher capacity battery. You can, of course, crank as much power out of it as you like but it ain't easy! It would be nice if there was some sort of integrated compartment to store the MicroUSB cable that you need to (a) charge the device and (b) charge a phone. You don't want to be searching for a cable in a pinch.Overall, I think this device gives you a decent mix of functionality at a reasonable price.
