I used this a full month before writing this review. First off, don't believe some of the battery life stories. I had good Duracell's in there and it lasted about 5 weeks before it said to replace. That's the only negative I can think of. I was able to easily disable X and K bands which go off at intersections and shopping malls w electronic doors. The Ka and Laser detection works fine. Every time I got a Ka alert i would see a highway patrol within 20-30 seconds. Got a couple laser detections too, but it was properly cars collision systems rather than cops. So this detector does work just fine, only drawback is it may not have the distance of the more expensive detectors. Try and get it on sale for $329 and it is a nice little deal.10 out of 10 found this review helpful.

Well worth the price5

This detector is pricey, but is a good value. Range is better with it plugged into the car but is still good while on Batteries , Battery life is great compared to other brands I’ve owned. But, the real reason to purchase this unit is the portability and convenience of a battery powered detector, I spend a lot of time in rental cars and this Detector is great for that.5 out of 5 found this review helpful.

Huge improvment over Solo S25

This detector is pricey, but a fairly good value. I've had excellent performance from this new version. I've owned two S2 Solo's, and while decent and serviceable units, this one exceeds them in every area.
Better range, battery life, fewer false alarms, and the new OLED screen is a significant improvement over the prior LCD.
But, the real reason to purchase this unit is the portability and convenience of a battery powered detector. It's naturally not going to have the range and sensitivity of a wired unit, but there's no contest when it comes to using it in multiple vehicles.16 out of 22 found this review helpful.
