After looking at a bunch of different detectors I finally decided on the Escort Solo S3 and mainly because I don’t like wires tangling around and I have several vehicles. I am more than satisfied with the sensitivity and I don’t seem to get many false signals. I am most impressed with the battery life! So far this has been a good purchase!

I've always wanted an Escort radar detector but have not been able to get over the price when compared to other brands available. I always knew I was sacrificing quality, but lived with it. My last detector (a different brand) stopped working and I finally decided to replace it with an Escort. Better late than never. I'm very happy with the decision. The Solo S3 is very sensitive, and rarely false triggers. I love the portability of cordless operation. My first set of batteries lasted about 6 weeks with moderate use, but it only takes 2 AA's so not a big deal. It turns off automatically after some time with no motion. Great product.

I was overall skeptical about this product because of it being a battery operated device, but I figured with it being an Escort detector; it had to hold up to it's reputation. It definitely has saved me numerous times, and it holds up to my buddy's Valentine detector! We were cruising one night and he would flash his lights every time his detector went off, I was amazed that mine went off the same time he flashed his lights. The only thing is, it does eat batteries. I use either basic Duracells or Energizers, and it holds up for at least 2 weeks of daily driving before needing a change, so I may change out to recharables or a better grade of battery. It definitely beats all the cruddy cheapo whistler and cobra wires detectors I've ever had. The range is good and it doesn't have many interferences. I'd say 75% of the alerts are police, the rest are backup cameras on cars, sliding doors at grocery stores, or laser guided gates at apartment complexes. This is definitely a product I've recommended and will continue to recommend. Thanks Escort for saving me thousands in ticket costs!

I recently took a trip out to Denver and a friend of mine used this radar for the trip. It was really easy to use and switch between modes of highway or city. The range on the highway was excellent, as we caught the incoming radar signals well ahead of any patrol units. After the trip, I bought this model for myself and have been using it for a little over a month. I really enjoy it. It is made to be extremely portable and can be switched and placed almost anywhere in the car. It works really well in both highway and city environments. Although you will need to drive around and use if often to see where there are constant signals on the different band networks. I noticed it will always sound off at electronic doors of business's. Stuff like that will set off the alarm and you won't even see a unit anywhere and those types of doors or other interference can be the source of the alarm. So far I have had no complaints about his radar detector. The battery life is pretty good and the quality of the alarms is great. However if you live where it gets really got, the metal body of the radar can get very hot so you'll need to watch out for that.

Installed in an Audi A3, which is not power cord friendly. No complaints on the detector's ability to sense radar. Easy to setup and configure. Getting about 30 - 45 days per set of batteries. Only complaint: No auto on. This detector can sense a lack of movement and turn itself off. It should also detect movement and turn itself on. While I understand this would potentially shorten battery life, it would be an excellent feature.
