Pros
I use these radios everyday doing comm work and they have held up with zero issues. Programming is simple enough with software available from retevis website. I wish this radio would have taken advantage of both uhf and vhf, as opposed to just uhf.
They have a fair amount of distance in town (roughly 3 miles), and feel really durable. Easily 1-2 miles over heavy forest w elevation changes. Not too bad of a range considering most other brands only go out a mile.

Price

They're not 1k motorola's, but for the price point.
Competitiveness
Construction is decent, not sure it would be military grade, but better than baofeng radios we purchased years ago.
Not too bad of a range considering most other brands only go out a mile.

We have to remember the range stated for most consumer radios is an unobstructed range
