Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just got my radios in. Plugged the charger in and one of the radios batteries started melting inside the radio and when I took it off the charger because I could smell the plastic burning it was so hot it burned my hand. DEFINITELY RETURNING THEM

The battery does not work well. The first week I used it for 10 hours, but now it does not work for three hours. It has been with me for almost two weeks and I am unable to return it.

Excellent sound, range, and custom user features. I got these to communicate with friends when off-roading, and have not had any issues with them at all. Much more affordable than some others, yet still provide a lot of the same staple and necessary features. I have only had them die on me once, and it was probably because I did not charge tham at all between a string of three consecutive outings. The battery indicator is misleading. They read as full battery, but they obviously were not. Even when they died on me, letting them sit for a few minutes and trying to turn them back on the battery indicator read full again. Just keep them charged or charge them up right before going out and that won't be an issue.

I like the radio size. Communication was good. What I did not like was the battery. The radio says the battery was full, then a few minutes later the radio was indicating it had a low battery. Also charging the radio took a long time. Charged for a few hours and the radio did not last 30 minutes the next day. I guess you have to charge the radio the whole night to fully charge the battery.

I bought 3 sets of these for a trip to the Olympic National Park with my friends. One day we went on a hike up one of the mountains, and having these worked perfectly since we didn't have cell service. And doubly so as a couple folks in our group didn't feel well so we were able to stay in contact the entire time. I would recommend having regular AAA batteries along with the rechargeable, they seem to last longer than the rechargeable ones from our experience.

I would not purchase it again because of the outside interference from strangers using the same network. The battery doesn't hold a charge very long either.

We love to do road trips and this radio turned out to be useful. Only donwside is its battery easily drains. You need to bring the charging cable all the time.

Distance is good however the battery life doesn't last as long as I thought it would

We used these as we were moving from Wisconsin to New Mexico. It made communicating with the second car/moving truck much easier without interrupting the gps. Only complaint is the battery life. They lasted roughly 3-4 hours which in itself is good, but we were on the road for 9+ hours at a time

Fun and kid friendly. Works well around the block. However tried it over a 12-mile range and couldn’t pick hear or ping the other user. So, the 28-mile range isn’t quite true. Also have to recharge batteries after only 3 to 4 hours of continuous use. But for the price and the face that I got this for the kids, I’m not complaining too much.

These work quite well. Battery life could be better. Comm range is OK, considering these never get near their "range" as listed.

Battery life is less than 8 hours. Clear communication and easy to use. Needs to be charged within 6 to 8 hours. I use it to keep in contact with my elderly mother in case of emergency while working outside or bedside at night.

It is ok for price,battery is short,too short But is ok so far

Got these so my wife and I could communicate about the baby when I was in the basement and she was upstairs. They work as intended. My only concern would be that the batteries don't last that long so you have to definitely put them in the charging platform when they aren't in use.

Bought these because me and the wife were driving across country. Came in handy when we needed to communicate which using our cells. Batteries only last a day and a half so I would advise charging at night or in the car.

One of the battery packs doesn’t keep charge after charging time. It dies very fast. Have to use aaa batteries for one of them. Sucks to have 1 one way and the other with battery pack. Will have to go to batteries plus and get a new pack. Hope that will work then.

regret buying, battery life is horrible and I always pick up strangers even in private mode. Don't buy unless you are looking for somethingcheap for the kids. 5 year dropped it like crazy so it's only positive comment is that it is durable.

For some reason the rechargeable batteries won’t fit into the radio without trimming off a piece of plastic at the bottom of the pack. Once you do that the battery doesn’t charge. I’d return it but I had to use it for an event. Works fine if you put in 3 AAA batteries.

The distance is great but the battery power is bad. They only last about 4 hours before dying.

Battery dies pretty fast. Worked ok with in the neighborhood. Had some fun with the kid for couple of days. It’s just lying down now.
