Customer Review: Perfect for my family.
Summary: 5 Stars
I got these for Christmas for my 4-year-old to play with, but kept them for myself! HA! They're so great! We use them in all those situations when cell phones don't work or are just impractical. They're just so handy! I admit that we've probably never gotten 16 miles apart with them, so I can't attest to the distance reaching quite that far. But we've never lost our signal between radios -- ever. The controls are easy. The sound is very clear. And the charge lasts a very long time. I forgot about mine and left it on for a week, once, and it was fine. I even used it for a few more days before I put it back on the charger.
I'm very satisfied with this. I'm even putting another set on my wish list so we can have more than two radios!
Customer Review: 16 miles is 100% BS
Summary: 2 Stars
I have a pair of these and they work but no way will they go 16 miles. I did a test and they won't even go 1 mile. I tried the high power channels. This was line of sight test too. I could see where my other radio was and it wouldn't work. They are not good for heavy populations either. Too many people have the same channels and you hear tons of other people talking. If you live in a highly populated area, I would sugest a radio with a security feature that scrambles your signal. Other than that they are good for short communication. I give it only 2 stars because they are not being truthful about the distance.Customer Review: walkie talkie
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these walkie talkies because they had some pretty good reviews. My elderly father lives with me and can not be left alone and I have six acres of ground, so if I go outside and I'm down the other end he can use the call button to signal me or the talk button and we can hear each other just fine, I keep them on from about 9am to 7:30pm and then put them in to charge at night and they are good to go, so I highly recommend these if you need to stay in touch with someone, though I can't tell you about longer distances, these are great for me.Customer Review: Serves my purpose
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this so I could keep track of my mother while we are shopping. I am 48 and she is 69. I must either stay at her side at all times or spend my entire time looking for her and not getting any shopping of my own done. Now we can go our own ways and call each other when we are ready to meet up (she can not use a cell phone and does not have one). We love it. It serves our purpose. It is easy to use - even she can push the button and talk into it. It has worked for us in stores. We have not needed to use it for long distances.Customer Review: pretty cool
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these for my 11 yr old son and he's really enjoyed them. He and my husband did I test to see if it would work just 2-3 miles from the house but they didn't. So he mostly just uses them around here, which was my intention when I got them. We do live in an area that is very hilly, so I'm not sure if that's what the problem is. Either way, they work great for just playing in the neighborhood and it comes in crystal clear.
