Reviews around price (4.52 of 5)

  • fine quality for a great price.........work well for my around the house projects where I need to call a helper on another floor.
  • Using a lot of temp labor for flaggers leads to a lot of radio loss so we opted for a very cheap "disposable" price
  • Stays charged for a good time, durable for 5 year old boys, and a great price
  • It would be better to drop the price and omit them, since the customer will have to buy real batteries anyway.
  • good sound, great price, slow shipping. ordered these on sunday and received 10 days later

Reviews around value (4.26 of 5)

  • Overall as a child's toy or close communications these work great and are a great value but for longer range you will want something more powerful.
  • Battery lasted us maybe 8 hours (drove from LA to Phoenix one time with a few stops, and the batteries dies just as we were pulling into our destination).
  • Will work for that purpose as we will be traveling within sight of each other.
  • Good value for the money, but doesn't hold a charge as long as some the Motorola ones, and when battery is done, it locks up the channel you are using, and the only way to turn it off it to remove battery or wait an hour till it totally dies.
  • Great value for the price, and I'd recommend them to anyone with a few kids that they need to keep busy!

Reviews around kid (4.21 of 5)

  • We have found that even the cheap kids walkie talkies work better than these.
  • Haven't used them in heavy forest or city but neighborhood use or just for kids to have fun with they are awesome.
  • Not so happy design is very nice and it worked great in the beginning but after a few weeks the battery does not charge and realized my kids have problems with the buttons and changing channels would be much easier if it would use turning knobs instead of
  • The kids love it and have been getting a lot of use from it
  • my kids are very very happy with the 2 way radiosvery good service every thing went smooth and eazy

Reviews around walkie (3.75 of 5)

  • thought I was getting a good product which in all reality the product sucks the walkie-
  • It's actually a great walkie, but not built for constant everyday use as the markings tend to rub off easily.
  • These are nice walkie talkies they have a pretty long distanice range
  • From day one only one has worked and what good is one walkie?
  • but I can guarantee I'm going to share this information with everybody that I know on every social media site to try and lower sales of these worthless walkie talkies

Reviews around clip (1.61 of 5)

Reviews around contact (1.44 of 5)

Reviews around connection (1.00 of 5)

  • and I lose the connection between me and the other person.
  • Get rechargeable one if you can, I think we spent more on batteries than on the actual walkies!They don't work for long range, we lost connection very quickly, I'm guessing less than one mile.
  • But less than half of a mile and I lost connection as soon as I went over a small hill
  • I’d say I got about half a mile and lost connection with the other person
