    We have always used Cobra products but had an older radar detector that gave a lot of false signals. We like this one because it eliminates many of the false signals. It's a good radar detector for the money,

    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.

    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.

    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.
