Well, while it's obviously not the best 2-way radio ever made, I'd argue that it's pretty decent.It stands up well to my Uniden walkie talkies, which is pretty good given the price of these radios. The small size makes it alot easier to carry than other walkie talkies, and it's really light, which is really nice, since some walkie talkies are bulky and a pain to carry around. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone that uses these on a day-to-day basis, but for the weekend camper or the kid who plays army these are pretty good walkie talkies. I don't know much about how robust they are, I definitely wouldn't recommend dropping them though. I've treated mine pretty well for about 6 months now and they work fine. At a lakehouse, me and my friend decided to go across the lake and see how far we could go before losing contact with the other radio. I was surprised, we got around I'd say a mile and a half to two miles, which is pretty decent. Don't expect the advertised 10-mile range, I don't think you'll ever get more than a few miles out of these. Overall, they're pretty good 2-way radios, they have all the standard features you'd expect on a modern walkie talkie, and they're pretty easy to use. Treat them right and they should last you a good while.
