My kids have had these since February of '07. They play with them frequently, always indoors. We've never had a problem with them. I don't know what's going on with the other reviewers' sets.
They are easy to use, even for little kids. The sound is as clear as any walkie talkie I've ever heard. They're just fine. I've never had a complaint, a problem, or so much as a whine from the kids about these.
I would recommend these. I would buy them again. I would give them confidently as a gift. |

| I'm not sure what the people are talking about with the three foot radius. That's how mine were at first, but I finally figured out how to make them work. They are more or less of the average 2 mile radius. I wouldn't expect too much, come on people! These are KID's toys! They aren't going to give a 7 yr. old a pair of hundred dollar talkies, now would they? The main trouble was getting the battery. After we had the batteries in, it came the testing time. They work pretty well, Except if it is below 60 or 50 degrees. Then, Only one will work, and not even that well. But, I have figured out how to make them quiter without turning them off! Hold you're hand over the mouth piece really tightly... It should elimanate most of the static. But, for ten dollars, these are a very good pair. I am however saving up for the Uniden Ten mile radius 20 dollar adult walkie talkies. |
They're great indoors

| Don't buy these. They don't work at all. Even just a few feet away, all you'll hear is static and not even a hint of the other person's voice. I purchased a pair at a brick-and-mortar store, and returned them. |
Why Didn't I Read the Reviews First...

| I wish I'd read the reviews before buying this product! I would have saved us money and aggravation. I bought these for my son's Christmas present this year. He was really excited about playing with them with his sister. The problem is, we haven't been able to find one single spot -- inside or out -- where we can get reception on both units! Even when you can pick up one person on the handset, the sound is so staticky and crackly, that you can barely make out what the person is saying. What's the point? My kids got so frustrated in the first couple of days, that they dumped them in the toybox and haven't played with them since. What an incredible waste of money and such a let down for the kids on Christmas. It's pretty rotten that National Geographic can conscience putting this piece of junk on the market. Don't make my mistake. Heed these reviews! This is a must-avoid product. |
