    Honestly, it works... But not well. The distance between the actual radar and the detector is way too short. Then it randomly got false readings Ka reading which is supposed to be always positive.

    Love the radar detector but after using it 5 months the cord fell apart and I had to order a new cord, which was quite expensive to do. For only being 5 months old the cord should have held up longer considering the price of the detector.

    It constantly beeps from Radar alarm signals that bounce of commercial and business sites. Wont help you avoid at ticket since it beeps constantly with false alarms , get something better than risk a ticket .

    I cannot begin to tell you how many times this little baby has saved me on roadtrips and around town. If you have a hint of a lead foot, this is affordable and gives you great warning times (except laser, which provides only 1 or 2 seconds). I recommend this!

    I have had this radar detector for about 2 months now, I have had no issues with it at all does the job it’s made for. It has saved me from a ticked at least 3 times, that does not sound like much but keep in mind the cost of a speeding ticket now time that by 3!

    Purchased to replace older similar model. Much less false alarms. Appreciate ability to turn on/off different bands. Recommend keeping out of sun when not in use and suspect that contributed to failure of previous unit.

    I now have two cobra radar detectors and I like my first one better. This one isn’t bad just doesn’t have all the options my other one has and doesn’t seem to pick up radars as well as my other one. Overall not a bad product just used to my other one.

    This radar detector works very well! It catches the signal before I even make the curve! It loves to catch the power lines and the communication devices for the signals. Other than that it works well and has lots of features for the price.

    It’s great but obviously not perfect. Idk if it’s the radar itself but it never seems to capture state troopers when they pass by, only city police... but works lol

    Had to replace an old cobra due to power port broken off and this was a great buy. I chose it due to being listed on best radar detector list online by reviews and testing. It even tells me if my battery power is low and will power itself down.

    This is a fantastic radar detector. It recognizes operating radar well before you are at risk for a ticket. I do not speed excessively, but it keeps me alert if speed eases up unconsciously, and avoids costly traffic tickets. Good price and excellent quality.

    Cobra Radar and Laser detector is just what you need to remind you big brother is watching and keep yourself in check. The beauty with this model is that it has both front and rear detection which takes care of Approaching, rear and trailing beaming. Great stuff!

    Overall this is a great product. It is instructed that if you may have alerts from stores. So the beeping can get annoying. All you have to do is turn down the volume
