Johan from Prepshop.nl gives advice to all helpers. According to him, it is not that easy to choose a good one. “You can’t tell from the outside whether it is quality. We also receive a lot of cheap emergency radios, we test them all. Sometimes they look good, but the button falls off after three turns. Or no signal comes in at all.”
Read reviews and watch where you buy
He notices from customers that it is a product that many people want, but should not cost too much. According to Johan, it is important to choose a well-known brand. “Midland, for example, is good. That’s a reliable, solid brand.” According to him, reading reviews is also very important.
Johan also advises you to look carefully at the webshop where you buy your emergency radio and to read reviews about it. According to him, many online stores have recently emerged that want to quickly cash in on the hype surrounding emergency packages. “I see a problem arising there. Because people don’t know what they are buying, you can’t tell from the price.”
