    We purchased these radios to use on a road trip from Utah to Michigan (1,700 miles) and they worked as expected. There were certain points on the journey where we were fairly close and still couldn't connect, but to be fair that was mostly when we were in the mountains.

    Probably good for kids - not much else

    I bought these as replacements for use in a warehouse. We needed a replacement for a Midland model that is no longer made. THIS is not a good replacement. The volume is not great for a working environment. The buttons are too easily accidentally pushed while wearing on a belt. The USB charging is an interestingly novel way to recharge, but it means you need to leave your computer on while charging. The batteries that come with the unit lasted only 4-5 hours before running out. I replaced them with Duracell rechargeable batteries, which lasted 8+ hours. Range is adequate for our use and price is good. Of course, they went on sale right after we bought them, so watch for the sale if you want some for your kids to use. Can't recommend them for anyone else, though.

    They are really good radios come with rechargeable batteries and a usb cable with two charger ends along with two clips, screen is on the little side but gets the job done and also there is NO backlight to the screen and is hard to see at night, volume could be better at its highest setting sometimes you couldn’t hear much. Overall good radios

    I bought for my brother-in-law for Christmas. As soon as he opened it he took it out of package and him and my husband enjoyed the rest of the weekend. My brother-in-law had received another set from his parents but they were not nearly as clear nor had the range that these did. They used them outside and it was below freezing and they worked great!

    I got this while going offroading with some buddies. These worked great on the highway and out in the woods. I didn't test the range. But we were fairly close to each other while using. Other than that. These work as advertised and I like the fact that they charge through USB.

    These works well for the price. But I am a bit scared to drop them. Not sure if they would survive. But so far the clip has kept that from happening.

    Worked great when first purchased. Stored for a couple months, and, when bringing back out to use, one of them refuses to charge. Will be filing a warranty claim.
