We used these radios on vacation in the Rocky Mountains so we could communicate between three cars when driving around and on the trails as well since sometimes our group would get split up and some people would go on ahead. I'm already aware that the advertised range of 20+ miles is idealistic and not to be expected in normal conditions, but I was very happy with how they worked. In the cars, we could talk clearly as long as nobody got too far away from the convoy. On the trails, we would talk clearly even while people were out of sight and somewhere down the trail, even with rocks and trees everywhere. I wouldn't count on these working miles away, but they worked great for being able to communicate with others in the group who just might be spread out a bit.
I used Eneloop Pro rechargeable AAAs, and they easily lasted for hours on end even with a fair amount of talking back and forth.
Some of the reviews complain about not being able to change the batteries. I really have no idea what they are talking about, so maybe there was a bad batch that was defective or something. The battery cover comes off easily, although you do have to take the clip off first.
Really the only complaint I have is that I wish it had a volume knob instead of buttons, like most other radios. You have to hold the power button for a second to turn it on or off, and you change volume by pressing up or down buttons.
Also be aware that compared to other similar radios, these are cheap in part because they lack certain features. There are no privacy codes, only one ringtone, and as mentioned, buttons instead of a volume knob.
A lot of comments were complaining about not getting the back cover off. I don't know if they were talking about the T100 model specifically, but I posted a video showing that it's very easy to do one handed..... Also, this product doesn't come with batteries, so I am assuming the other people had a model besides the basic T100 model.
The back clip seems a little chintzy, it's small and there is no articilation so I doubt it's really helpful for thick clothing. The units are small, but they feel solid. They are cheap and will work for what I need them to do.
I like that they use AAA batteries instead of an internal lithium. You can get some rechargeable eneloop batteries and this thing will probably last a LONG time. Internal lithium batteries can sometimes be a pain to replace when they go bad.
I have no complaints. I can't comment on range, for the price point though I not expecting much. These are very simple to use, which makes sense because a child should be able to operate it as that's probably the target demographic.

The rules and regulations regarding these are extremely confusing and not well explained. It is hard to fathom why they are allowed to sell something that so easily broadcasts on channels that appear to require a license without explaining it better and making it a little harder to select those bands without at least some sort of acknowledgment that you know those bands require a license. It is very easy to imagine my 8 year old daughter accidentally using one of those channels. I have set down with her and explained which channels appear to be off limits and I doubt she changes channels at all, but still it seems odd.
Once you get past all the red tape and legal mumbo jumbo they appear to be fairly well made.
We originally looked at some of the Chinese branded options at half the cost, but we couldn't make heads or tails of them and whether they were being honestly reviewed or marketed so we decided to go with a name brand that we trusted. I realize these are made in China as well, but one thinks that Motorola might have _some_ sort of quality control or checks and balance system to make sure they are ok. At the very least, maybe customer support if needed.
They seem to work well and easily enough that my daughter can use it to talk, although she uses her iPhone without sim card and skype far more often so I'm not sure why she needed this, but it is her money and if she earned it, and it isn't being spent on hooking, liquor or drugs I generally allow it.
By the way, it uses alkaline batteries and hasn't gone through them too fast, but rechargeable would have been nice.

Funcionamiento simple, cada radio necesita 3 baterias AAA, no puedo dar aún un estimado de cuánto duran las baterias.
El alcance es relativamente bueno, se han probado como alrededor de 120 metros de distancia (sin obstáculos) sin problema.
