Features I like about the IR-688:
Large Capacity Internal Lithium Battery.
FM Reception is Well Above Average.
FM Stereo Sounds Good, and Comes in Easily on Many Stations.
AAA Dry Battery Bay.
Dynamo.
Type C Charging Jack.
Power Bank Feature. Will Charge your Phone a Couple Times.
Two Hundred and Seventy Degree Range of Motion on the Reading Lamp.
Bright Flashlight, with Strong Floods.
Loud SOS Siren.
Decent Build Quality.
Shortwave Band from 3.2-20MHz.
Weather Alert Mode.
Switchable Power Modes.
Easy to Read Display.
AM is Good for Locals, and Semi Locals. Will DX at Night.

Features that could be Added or Improved on:
Increase Charge Input Rate to Two Amps.
Adjust Headphone Experience. Too Loud on Lowest Volume, and Moderate Hiss.
Ability to Manually Add Presets. This would Make Shortwave Tuning more Enjoyable.
Remove Soft Touch Plastic Treatment, most People don't want this feature.
Lower Price.
IPX3 Water Resistance is Questionable with the openings in the Dry Battery Bay.

Overall, this Emergency Radio makes Strides to set itself apart from the Common Emergency Receiver. A High Capacity Battery, Plenty of Lighting Options, and an FM Experience Usually found in more Expensive Radios. I give this Radio a "Maybe" Recommendation. The Price point puts it right in the middle of some Decent radios, such as the Sangean MMR-88. Not large capacity, but an Excellent Tuner, with an Amazing Headphone Experience. A lower price will make this IR-688 more Attractive to Potential Buyers.
