They were OK, a little spotty but OK. I was hoping to get much better connection.

Thank you for your review. To ensure optimal performance, we recommend fully charging the batteries before use. Flat, open terrain is best for achieving maximum range. Additionally, you may want to experiment with different channels depending on your environment. If you have any questions, please contact us at 800-543-1608.

I bought these for a road trip with several famlies (much quicker to use than a cell phone and can converse with a larger group). They worked well for keeping everyone in contact. They held a charge for several says, they are easy to use, and they take up very little space. Only knock on them was the distance at which they still worked clearly.

Aside from interference from job sites, office parks, business campuses, etc., that use radios with the common channel frequencies that I pass by in the dual passenger compartment vehicle that I drie for which I purchased these, they are definitely worth the money especially since you get three instead of two.
No charger base but individual rechargeable aaa's which can be used for anything else. 9 total rechargeable AAA's. Anything running off a USB power cable that can also either be powered with
rechargeable AAA's can charge the batteries while the device is plugged in.
Not sure if it has the same features as a true weather radio, but it has a solid thorough repeat weather broadcast channel stating current temp, wind, and precipitation for the major US cities. I'm sure a weather emergency would be reported intermittently.

16 miles? Maybe in the desert where there are no trees and the ground is flat. Definitely not 16 miles of range in the Mid- Atlantic region. Size is convenient. Signal varies at Snowshoe Mountain Resort. Was hoping the range could reach from top of mountain to the lower runs and lifts but the voice part did not. Batteries lasted on full day before needing a charge. These are better than the old ones we had but still not quite what we were hoping for. Glad we bought them on sale.

We have three young boys and this buy was a hit. We use it everywhere and for everything. Our boys went nuts with this.
Easy to use. Battery life is not the greatest but they recharge quickly.
We got the warranty just in case they broke. Works from long distances as well. Great for camping.

There are lots of choices in simple walkie talkies, so why not go with a name brand like Cobra or Midland. These are very compact, with a belt/pocket clip, Rechargeable batteries are INCLUDED, and alkaline AAAs could be used if necessary. Instructions were clear and controls were simple, but sparsely labeled. DO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, because operation is not 100% intuitive. Each unit is also a NOAA weather radio, and it's easy to scan for the closest station. I also like the call tone and the "roger" beep, as they call it. It should actually be an "over" beep, since it lets others know you're done talking. Feature packed and at a such a low price, you can toss these to the kids/grandkids for family outing communication.

These work great. It is just what we needed. Even better is that they are rechargeable and don't have to worry about changing batteries all the time.

Works as promised. Controls are handy. Two things that I wish were better: The USB charging cord that comes with it splits into two. It would be nice if it split into three. The second thing is that the call beep is WAY louder than the voice coming over air. It would be cool if they were more closely matched. Every time you adjust the volume, there is a beep, gauging the volume level, but it is nowhere near the volume you'll hear a voice.

Great communication over hundreds of yards! Perfect for camping, road trip caravan and communication to different buildings on a property. Remember they are radio wave communication and not cellphones which use towers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Needed for Church staff to keep in touch across the property as we opened up from the pandemic. These 2-way radios work well, except the built-in tone each time someone pushes the talk button can be distracting. Another nice feature is that there is a built-in option for weather radio.

Good enough to use for mobile intercom system in the house and yard. They take a long time to charge and I don’t see a “done charging” signal. When they did it stops sending messages and turns off without much warning
