My dad has a set of midland radios. For what they are, they are fine. Dont let the ratings fool you though. You might get 2 miles out of them. One set has a 36 mile range or whatever, but that's only if you have repeaters and all that stuff along with an FCC license to be legal. So basically, you will get 1-2 miles out of the radio in decent cover. Dont expect more. I think the set I will eventually get is about 80-90 bucks.
