    This worked for a couple months. After driving in mountain areas for a couple months this device has totally failed to deliver on its promises. With a Radenso now in the vehicle next to this Rad 450, the detection range is way off and has become zero to nothing with very late response once a vehicle with Ka has either passed or is literally right next to you. It does not capture Ka band before or after the signal has reached on top of you. Not how it was working months ago. Very disappointed.

    Fairly good radar detector for the price. The suction cups aren't the best and has to be repositioned often. Also, the detection capabilities of police trying to detect your detector don't work as well as advertised.

    This seemed to be a good product for the price, but it was a gift for my husband, and, of course, he wanted "more power." LOL - think "Tool Time." He said it was a good brand, but wanted more features, as well.

    I recently took a trip and went by a lot of police vehicles in hiding and never heard a beep. However, the K and Ka bands went off other times and it did react appropriately.

    I bought this hoping it will give me a better heads up while driving. But it seems to lack a lot on detecting. For the priced that i paid i feel like it was not worth it unfortunately. :(

    This Cobra Radar Detector is about average. You can visually see the police cars before this detector will pick up the radar signal

    Range and sensor aren’t as far as I’d like them to see.... but for straight freeway driving it seems to do the job.

    Basic radar detector would be better if it told you what is triggering the radar. Codes suck trying to interpet.

    It’s a $150 radar detector so it gets you $150 worth of protection. Good at front, iffy at 360 degrees.
