Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Having shopped for a detector for a while, I finally settled on this one. I have had it for a few months, I live in New York and waited until I got back from a road trip to Florida to review this detector...
On the road trip, it picked up every cop that was staked out. Every single one. I had zero tickets. In Maryland, the troopers were using laser. I was going through at 2AM, doing about 85...The detector let me know about 7 seperate laser attempts. Every time, I slowed down right away and was fine. There were some times when I couldn't even see the officer responsible!
In other states, the radar KA band let me know about all of the troopers around well in advance. I did turn it off for DC and VA in accordance with their laws. The strobe and safety alerts worked well in Florida, when there was an accident, and later when an ambulance was behind me and needed to get through. VG-2 alerts also work well, as I was radar detector detected several times throughout the trip.
I know that most detectors are terrible for laser protection, but this one seems superior to others. Granted, the officer usually has your speed recorded by the time the laser detector goes off, but the detector seemed to work time and again for laser for me! The range of radar detection, especially for KA band, is pretty far. In a straight stretch I have picked up signals from almost half a mile back!
The only potentially annoying thing about this detector is the X band detection, which goes off any time I am around a building security system (banks, car dealerships, etc) or automatic doors at like a supermarket or CVS or something. This can be turned off, however!!
ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: A radar detector is only as good as how you have it mounted!! My friend has the same detector and he absolutely hates it, says it never picks anything up. I saw how it was mounted, he has it on the dash, below the wipers...a radar detector is a line-of-sight device, people! It has to be able to see all around your vehicle in order for it to be of any use to you! So long as you have it mounted sell, clear of obstructions, I don't think you can get any better protection!
