    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.

    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.

    It's doing its job so far... There's definitely false alerts often but I guess that's with every radar detector.

    Works well but remember the police don't have their radar on all the time but I truly figured if it saves me from one ticket it would pay for it's self 3 times over.

    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.
