Worth every penny!!
I am very pleased with escort passport radar. I can't believe I waited A long as I did to finally put he's it. I have had a whistler and a uniden before purchasing the escort. I've always figured that it was too expensive and that I would be just paying for the name, but I was wrong! The next day after buying it I drove from Spokane WA to Seattle WA and I know i saved money by buying this radar. I could have had 3 speeding tickets which would have added up to 2 or 3 times the price I paid for the radar! I really like the mute button option on the plug. I just wish it had a power button too. I definitely would recommend this to anyone and to be honest I already have. If your debating spending the money , you need to stop and just do it! Buy it!

Excellent
Owned for about a month, but have already used it on cross-country trip. Some city driving, but mostly highway. Extremely accurate, and not a lot of false alarms. Marks X and K Band areas that are not patrol activated, so after a few visits through those areas, they are marked as such, and ignored on future visits. Highly recommend this, and DO connect to their free initial update service for GPS accuracy on fixed cameras, etc. I don't use the Bluetooth connection to Escort Live (yet), but thinking about it. Very quiet when it needs to be, and fits firm and well on my very slanted windshield. Have a Mercedes SLK with very small back window, but 360 monitoring seems very accurate, thus far. Would buy again. Ka band is nearly perfect with very good range. Wish it came with the Bluetooth (Live) cord, but guess that's their game to get you to spend just a little more money. Pricey equipment, but worth it. Can't compare to other units, as this is the first detector I've had in about 20 years. Did a lot of research though, and this one is the best value, imo. No experience with Laser yet. Factory defaults are best overall settings, except have added speed to the monitor, and abbreviated the Auto settings. I use Waze app (iPhone) also, and recommend that in combination with this unit if you don't want to upgrade to Live.

Amazing
If you are driving locally and on highways, this would be a worthwhile investment. The sensitivity of this detector is amazing. It is able to store false alarms after a few passes (so none of that annoying constant beeping) and starts beeping early enough that you have time to reduce your speed. It also lets you know the signal strength so you know how far out you are. It's easy to install and the LED display is very clear as well. Another great feature is being able to update the latest speed and traffic light camera information.

Second time purchasing the 9500ix
Loved the first 9500ix i purchased, lets you block out signals, notifies you of red light cameras, and speed traps. My car was stolen, along with my 9500ix. It was so good, I purchased the same model to replace it. It gives long range warning of radar, without a ton of false alarms. If a motion sensor, such as a automatic door or drive thru, sets it off two clicks of the button on the power plug blocks that signal for good.
