However, some users experienced issues with battery life and volume, noting that the radios sometimes lacked sufficient power and loudness.

    Tried to use these walker talkies but there was so much interference that it was a lot clearer if I just yelled at what I needed. It was hard to use for different frequencies because the buttons and display were tiny.

    They're inexpensive and have fairly terrible range (less than a mile car-to-car on open highway) but they're clear and will work for days off a set of alkaline batteries.

    It’s nice to have when my kids are outside playing. They keep checking in. The range of distance is as real as what’s on that box

    These have not worked since I took them out of the package. Replaced the rechargeable batteries at a cost of $25 and still don't work. I threw the package away. Would not recommend or purchase them again.

    I tried these 2 Way Radio's out and it barely could push a half mile range. After about a half mile all I heard was static and couldn't understand the person on the other side. I returned these shortly after.

    My 9 year old son begged for a good set of walkie talkies after getting a cheap set of Nerf play walkie talkies. He loves these and has no problem using them.

    I found the system set up and usage difficult to understand for a beginner. Batteries kept running out of power within a very short period of time. We ended up not using them on our cruise due to inconsistency in responsiveness.

    We bought these to communicate with our kids on a cruise ship. They worked well in testing at home, but on the ship, it seemed that a lot of other people had the same idea, so on every channel we tried, we heard other people's conversations.

    Bought these for our cruise cause I wasn't going to pay their fees for texting on the boat. They didn't work everywhere but up to five floors so they did the job.

    I wanted a fun gadget for my grandson for a vacation - the Walkie Talkie was perfect - I could keep tabs on him, but we had a ton of fun with them — it said on package they worked for miles, but I found that the distance limit was 2 blocks - but that was fine for my purpose

    Took em to the deer lease because my cell phones get no service out there... maximum range was 200 to maybe 300 yards at best. These are not very good at all when it comes to the Texas Hill Country.... in the thick stuff it's less than 100 yards..,disappointed
