They are bulkier than I would like, but hey... for the price??
I bought these and used them for several events at work. They don't do anything remarkable but get the job done. We were mostly using them in a few different hotel convention centers, so not really pushing the limits of the range probably and the battery life stood up well for our needs (3-5 hours of constant use).
I live in Nicaragua, and by the time another set was to be recieved, I knew I would be back home so I sent them to a friend that was coming down to visit a few weeks later. I instructed her how to charge them, and the EXACT same problem occured, but only after I got them here, which was 2 days after the 30 day return requirement.
I requested a phone call back to me from Amazon customer service (I use a skype USA number here) and got a call back in SECONDS(!). After explaining my rather unique situation to Jim, the customer rep., he said that because of my location and previous problems he would wave the 30 day requirement for returns, but suggested that i contact the MFG. first, and that he would call me back in a week in my stipulated time frame to arrange for new units to be shipped to a USA address of my choice and that I could take up to 90 days to send back the bad set!!
I called Midland, and as expected did not get any self servicing help, so decided to take the offending radio apart. Everything is solid state, but there are four chrome plated contacts on the back that lead from the batteries that are designed to mate with 4 brass rings on the other half of the radio when assembled. I carefully beny out all four chrome contact points slightly to increase the pressure when assembled and contacting the 4 brass rings,and the radios have worked perfectly ever since. I am EXTREMELY impressed with their performance and feel, and highly reccommend them. And yes, Jim called me back at the prescribed hour a week later, and I was happily able to tell him that I resolved the issue myself.
To say that I am impressed with how Amazon conducts business is to put it lightly, and will continue to purchase everything I possibly can from them. In the meantime, The repair I have described is an easy 5 screw job, and I'll bet that it solves virtually all the DOA complaints about this otherwise superb piece of equipment!
