Revainrating 5 out of 5

You should buy this for your kids! Surprisingly good and versatile.

NOTE: This is a glowing review. And legal. I bought them and held my breath, but I'm happy to report that my breath was not wasted. If you've researched walkie-talkies, you know that there are many two-way communication options at different price points. Many of them have impressive 4.5/5 star ratings unless you read the reviews and become suspicious. Many two-way devices have limited capabilities, useless features, or fatal flaws (I list proprietary batteries as fatal flaws). My mission was simple: find an inexpensive, long-range walkie-talkie for the kids to use when we go camping. , or when they bike around the block. I leaned heavily towards the Motorola or the Raveis or other Chinese models with fancy names. But then I saw them and took a picture. I'm glad I did. BENEFITS: β€’ I can hear my kids across the block. And far enough in the forest. (I haven't done a thorough distance test yet, but am happy so far.) β€’ At $39.99, that's $10 for a walkie-talkie. Get lost. β€’ Powered by AAA battery. I use batteries. β€’ The battery cover does not fall off. β€’ SIMPLE setup and programming. β€’ The belt clip works. β€’ Headset jack (I bought an inexpensive IFREQTECH headphone/mic kit for $2/$12) β€’ Voice activation option β€’ 22 channels with multiple privacy codes per channel. β€’ Easy-to-understand instructions. β€’ It has a tiny flashlight function. And a glowing screen. β€’ Somehow all children remember their individually programmed personal ring tone. β€’ Choose your color! β€’ They are so cheap that there is no awkward feeling if one or two are lost or blocked. I'll just buy another one. CONS: β€’ There are a few annoying things too small to mention here β€’ I don't think it's waterproof but we haven't soaked any yet β€’ IF they go wrong I'll post an update. OVERVIEW: β€’ If you're a traveler, cyclist, parent, student, or adventurer and don't want to tediously spend hours reviewing the walkie-talkies section here at Revain, just buy one. The price is right and the quality is reasonable - maybe more than reasonable. β€’ Five stars.
