    I bought this from my sons recommendation. I've not had any issues with it. It does give me some false alarms but I'm ok with it. It keeps me alert.

    This is great radar detector! I use it on long trips. My girlfriend steals it during the week. I’m gonna have to buy me another. Definitely a must for travelers. Remember, the price of this is less than a ticket. Well worth it!

    Really works well and has saved us already. Our last one went on all the time unnecessarily this one does less of that only criticism is the manual does not tell you what the warnings mean.

    Great radar detector for the price! It has definitely helped me from getting a ticket in the past month or so. Great value! See no reason to pay more than $150-$200 for such a device.

    Right out the box I had a dud. I'd have to say since this doesn't recognize the newest radar tech out there you may not have much future use in the years to come. From what I've seen this is a decent model and for all currently used radars in most of the country (USA) you will have a decent go with this. Once they roll out the new radar tech beyond DC, LA, NYC, and so forth this will lose it's usage though.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    It's not perfect but it's plenty of bang for the buck. It's going to give plenty of false alarms but that's to be expected at this price point. Better to have a heads up than nothing at all imo anyways.

    Like that I can adjust the sensitivity for less false alarms. It also checks the car battery strength when powering on and powers off when engine is turned off.

    Great price for a great product. I was a little sceptical at first but I love this product. Aside from alarming you to radar detection, it also helps keep you awake if you are that person driving late at night or early in the AM.

    Best product for your dollar! Took a 1600 mile road trip immediately after bought and I felt confident driving making good time the whole trip. App feature is fantastic and the radar not once slipped up.
