Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased these more for fun than anything, allowing myself and my two kids to each have one around the house and for playing outside etc. There are many factors that can cause interference and range-reduction, but in my experience the range was only about 100 yards with minimal obstruction. It may be an issue only with my units, or perhaps another explanation for greater signal-interference specific to my house/yard, but I ended up returning.

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.

They work good but not for range advertised on package.

They definitely are not long range. Didn’t expect them to do so, but since they claim I had to let you know. Maybe a mile if you’re lucky with no obstruction. You can get a block or two out of them and that’s it. Battery life is only a day even with mild use. Fine as a toy but wouldn’t get these if you are expecting to really use them.

Battery life are fairly good and as for the radios itself came in okey but not great. Occasionally you will pick up other radio beside yours. Bad in my opinion.

It was nice to get a three pack of radios, however the range is much reduced when it’s not line of sight transmission. For example, using them on the ski slope, well within advertised range, was a little garbled , but on the wide open road, we had good range and clear transmissions.

We were disappointed that they only worked at a distance of one block or two.. Decided to keep them so the kids could have them when they are outside playing and their Mom or Dad can keep in touch with them.

Great product, worked great for my Parade!!!!!!!!!

In our usage the range hasn't been great (maybe .5 miles) but I didn't expect magic from cheap walkie talkies. The kids have fun with them so they do the job.

Great gift for my grandson for our family camping outing. He enjoyed playing around the house with this item. This item is not true to the 16 mile radius

Bought these for my boys to keep contact on our family vacation. They didn't seem to connect past a few miles with each other, but worked good enough.

Definitely does not work outside a 1 Mike radius. Great for the kids to use within the house. Picks up outside conversations

These radios worked but were limited with range. If within a couple hundred feet the reception was clear but beyond that they didn’t work.

Not bad for in the house or a couple house away but the did not work when I was just 1/2 mile from my house

We are not newbies to this type of items. I bought these for my kids because it was a three pack. Unfortunately, the charger they provide can only charge two at one time. We did have another micro usb charging cable but that isn’t cool. I had read reviews that the coverage was far shorter than the 11 miles advertised. I wasn’t too concerned because I figured they would only use them around the house until my husband sent my son out for a bike ride around the neighborhood with one. It didn’t even reach a mile out! These two huge flaws aside, the build quality is pretty nice. Be prepared when you buy. If you can live with these drawbacks, they are fine for the price. Otherwise, you can spend another $20 to get better range.

Works good but the problem is you get alot of radio interference

Great for the price but can only charge 2 at a time.

These radios work okay for what they were intended for, that being line of sight or nearly line of sight. In my case 16 miles distance was not realistic. Realistically they are good for 3 to 4 miles. Which works just fine for what I use them for.

Overall, they are good walkie talkies. I bought them for my daughter. They don't seem to live up to the 16-mile range. When we tried, we lost communication at about two miles. This will probably vary due to environmental variables, however. I like that they are rechargeable and have a weather radio built in.
