Cobra is the best
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great brand. Anything cobra makes is great. And if you buy this it does have an app you have to have. But you better make sure you have a passagner when using the app. Cause your eyes don't need to be taken off the road when driving.

Great inexpensive unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For those that say range sucks, I've had no issue at all in open fields and around bends detecting radar from a mile or more away. Perfect unit for an early heads up.

You Get What You Pay For
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By no means do I think this is a bad product, but with so many false alarms I wish I would have spent the extra money on a better model to get less false alarms and more range. However, there has definitely been times where I was thankful I had this radar detector, so if you're hurting for a cheap but handy detector this will do just fine.

Good
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great radar detector, so far is working great for the money
I would recommend this to a friend Does the job
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has worked great so far. My only gripe is that I don't know what to do with the wire, and it's way too long so ultimately ends up getting wadded up in a cupholder. The styling is also kind aggressive. I bet 2/3 of the people who buy this are bros who have tribal arm band tattoos and wear mostly Ed Hardy.

This will work but not the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really do have mixed feelings about this radar. I have a RAD450 and honestly, it's one of the best radars that I have ever owned from Cobra. But this one this RAD480I gives off too many false alerts even with the sens on max. Sadly my RAD450 gave out although I can still order it from a different vendor, I'm not sure I would go back to this radar. Cobra IDK what you changed in the programming from the RAD450 to the RAD480 but in all honesty this new one sucks.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you are not happy with RAD 480i. It detects radar better than the older RAD 450 which can result in more false alerts. To reduce these false alerts use Low or Medium SEN modes. If you use the iRadar app with RAD 480i (something not possible with RAD 450) then use Auto SEN mode which automatically switches the SEN mode based on your speed.

Good radar needs filter.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works as it should but it gets a lot of false positives from other car's radar systems. Cheaper than any speeding ticket though.

Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for the price and small. Not a lot of false alarms but still enough to make me want to pay a little more for a better unit.
