Hand-crank Radio Recommendations?

[Freeholder]

My nice little shortwave radio was ruined due to battery corrosion, so I’m looking at hand-cranked radios on Amazon. My most important criteria is durability. Kind of hard to tell from just a picture and a few recommendations written as soon as they took it out of the box. Any suggestions? I’m not so much looking for short-wave, though that would be a plus, but it needs to get the weather channel.

I got a couple of eton FR-250. a good radio, 3 AA batteries last longer than any other radio I have ever had, I use it about 8 hours a day, on the crank, for 1 solid minute of cranking you get 3 to 5 minutes of play time,
THen. dont drop it. the volume control is weak, if it hits the floor, the volume becomes eratic, changing when it feels like it. im on my 6th one, last mabye 2 years with heavy use, every time I needed a new one, it was because I dropped it,
