I like this product a lot, it's small, the clarity is great, however, the batteries have been replaced twice and I've only had them for 1 month.

I bought 2 sets of these radios on clearance for 10 dollars a set. Used one set on a 4000 mile road trip to and from Yellowstone National park. I was able to use these radios on a variety of terrain from open road to deep mountain overpasses. These radios did not exceed 1 mile. When in range the voices are clear. I have an older pair of Motorola 2 mile radios with multiple sub channels. The Motorola's have a true 2 mile range. The batteries do not last very long as discussed in other reviews. I will be giving these radios to my nephews and nieces. I would not advise to purchase this pair of radio.

Bought these a couple of years ago refurbished directly from UNIDEN. They work great for my intended purpose which was to give to my kids so I can monitor them while they are out in the neighborhood. Works great 2 or 3 streets over, batteries last 10-14 days of everyday use at ~2-3 hours a day.

Four alkaline batteries do not last half hour of conversation. Energy consumption is very high.The scope of the signal in the open field, also did not exceed two miles.

I purchased a pair of these for under $20 new and took them into the woods. The first problem is that the 10 mile range is an absolute lie. I get about 1/2 mile with them, that's it. How in the world they get away with advertising 10 miles I'll never know since I can't even get 1 mile with them. The second problem is that it eats batteries like crazy. One day out with moderate talking and you'll need to replace the batteries (3 AAA each, which ain't cheap). Bottom line, not good radios, I'm glad I only have 20 bucks invested/lost in them.

These radios represent the cheapest possible solution. Do they work? Yes, for about a half mile direct and unobstructed line-of-sight. If you're looking for something reliable, that can work at the range advertised, this isn't it.

I purchased these radios to use while fishing the banks with a friend. They worked fine the first 4 or 5 times I used them but then one started beeping every 3 seconds and would not transmit, even with new batteries. I contacted Uniden and they advised me that the unit was defective and it would have to be returned for repair. It would have cost me more to have it shipped and repaired than I paid for them. I was a month out of warranty so that was that. I will not buy Uniden anymore. You get what you pay for......spend a litle extra and get more quality.
