A nice set of radios with predictable range (not great but typical). The best attribute is their scant size. My 7 year old sticks it in his pocket when he plays in the neighborhood and it's been perfect in that respect. The main negative is that they go through batteries pretty quickly, although you can use rechargeables and charge them with the built in charging port.

We got these for communication between cars on a 3600 mile trip. Having the usb charge capability was the only saving grace, as the included batteries never took a charge. Communication was randomly just squawks on one unit, while the other was fine. They tended to randomly shut off, as well. For the price, they did the job, but I wouldnt recommend them.

I was impressed when I unpacked them, small, clear sound, weather radio. I charged them up and headed off on vacation. First day on the trail, one was dead an hour after leaving the charger. 2nd day, same thing. I guess I could have exchanged them rather than return, but I purchased them for safety during a week of hiking. I'll consider trying again, but will probably buy a different brand.

Fun! Kids use it across our development even though we all have phones. They just kind of get a kick out of them. I suppose if there's an apocalypse we'll really know then, but the grid will be down and this review will be useless LOL.

We ordered these to communicate with our kids when needed. I believe the box states possible reach of 26 miles I was lucky if they went 26 feet. I do live i city close to an airport. I wanted to test them out so I took one for a ride with me on a full charge. From the moment I left my drive way till I got back home two hours later I was not able to talk to anyone and was told the other radio was sitting out in the open the entire time. Now, it works fine all over the house and I still want to test it just walking around the neighborhood. Another factor is that we are using a private ch which is short range. As per the manual to get the best distance you have to have a license to legally use those channels. Another issue is battery life. I did a full charge, took the radio for the ride mentioned above, then took it out to shovel snow. The battery went dead after roughly 2 hours 20 mins. Again, did the distance I drove have an effect on it? Did the cold weather while shoveling hurt it? All to be determined. I got it for a “deal of the day” and they work good for kids to mess around with, but even in the house the battery’s seem to die fast. I am assuming they are better then most of the kids toys ones and price was close to the same after the deal. I give them thee stars cause I only had them a short time and I may need to do some tweaking, but they have not wowed me thus far.

battery life is just ok and the charger cable provided is terrible. 4 triple A rechargeable batts can be replaced by disposables with the same battery life. the buttons are not intuitive but do function, not waterproof or resistant so put them in a zip-lok bag.

I've purchased less expensive radios in the past with mixed results. These have exceeded my expectations so far. Great range, sound is good, and very easy to charge up. Would recommend to anyone.
