Summary: CAUTION! Amazon not shipping needed adapters!
Review: I give this product five stars without having even tried it. I got it a few days ago, and plugged in the wall chargers to the radios, in the only holes where the plugs would fit. After literally 3 days of "charging", I still couldn't get the displays up or make calls. I just phoned Midland about it, and their tech asked me right away just *where* I was plugging in the chargers. When I told him, he asked if I'd gotten the set from Amazon. Yes, so? "You are the second customer who's called who didn't get the needed 18301 adapters to go on the ends of the plugs so they can fit into the smaller of the two ports". Midland is shipping me 2 of them free of charge (otherwise $4.95 each plus s&h), so the company gets props from me. Amazon may well be shipping the adapters with some or most of these sets, but this time they didn't. Caveat emptor!

Summary: No Adapter Yet!
Review: I too was missing the adapters. While they have pointed me to Midland I don't think I should have to be the one to talk to them and solve this. If this hadn't happened before, I would be more understanding, but obviously from the last poster's comments... it has... more than once.This definately puts a ding in my otherwise unblemished dealings with amazon over the last 4 years. Be warned that if you get this set, you may have one more step before they will work.

Summary: There are additional things to buy to use this!! Beware!!
Review: We purchased this set of radios for a Christmas present, and based on the description provided...the impression is that "everything's included", right? Wrong. We did receive the radios, and the rechargeable batteries and chargers were in a seperate little box, but thrown in with the radios in the Amazon box. (Should have known something was not right when we saw that) We inserted the batteries, and then immediately tried to hook them up to the chargers, only to find out the chargers are NOT compatible with the radios. They don't fit! We called Midland directly to find out if we were doing something wrong...and they informed us that the chargers included with this set only work if you BUY MORE DEVICES TO PLUG THEM INTO!!! They also indicated that they can only assume that Amazon does not know this and is selling it all as a package. Unless you plan on going out and spending more money on another accessory, stay away from this particular "deal". Waste of money and time. Amazon did issue us a refund...so kudos to them for that--but more importantly I think they need to revise or remove this item as it is very deceiving.
