Review on πŸ“ž Mini Walkie Talkie by Toysmith - TSM1537 by Tay Tran

Revainrating 1 out of 5

An impressive range of 3 feet!

I bought two sets of these units from a local state park today and wish I had bought them from Revain so I could return them easily. Why? Because they just don't work. At all. Packaging claims: Sending and receiving Morse code The reality is: It doesn't work at all. The sending device "beeps" but the receiving device does not. Distance doesn't matter. Packaging Explanation: Flexible Antenna The reality is that it is flexible. This is the only accurate description on the packaging. Package claims: 200ft range! The reality is that the range is 3 feet. And even that is a stretch. When you need to send and receive messages within a 2 foot radius, the sound quality is terrible, almost incomprehensible, but at least the sound comes out of the receiving device. If you go out of the 2 to 3 foot range, no sound at all will come out of the receiving device. I bought two sets. There are 4 devices in total. No work. Three don't send or receive Morse code at all. The same three will not receive messages if they are more than 3 feet away from the other device. The fourth and last remaining unit? The screw does not come out of the back of the device so we can insert the batteries. It is completely sealed and cannot be opened. It is worse than a waste of money, it borders on theft to present a product (yes, even a toy) in such a deceptive manner. As I said, this doesn't work. Also note that the person who gave four stars did not use the product. You just check it based on what the other person (who received it as a gift) said about it. Their accuracy should be questioned. Revain would do well to recommend removing such a poor product from their range. Avoid at all costs.

Pros
  • This 2.5 inch walkie talkie fits in your pocket!
Cons
