Smile Weather radio

I’m looking for a reliable, battery powered weather radio. I’ve read some reviews online, but I’m looking for some qualified RVers opinions. I now have a inexpensive Chinese weather radio, but it’s not reliable.
Thanks in advance for your “expert” opinions.

Have a WR120 for some years and worked but you have to tweak to turn off annoying alerts. Still waiting on an iceberg warning to go off in the next few years. It's AC with battery backup but they have others. The key is antenna.

I have others for portable emergencies which aren't used but work. FRS/GMRS/Amateur radios also typically have WX alert capabilities.

Even cheaper on Amazon.

We purchased one of these years ago. Still works great on all its power choices. Hadn't had it out since 2019 and had removed the batteries so they didn't leak in it but turns out the rechargeable battery still had charge and it played on all bands. The solar cells do work as well as the crank. I don't know if it has alerts as I tune in the weather band and check on what's happening before bad stuff gets there.
