    Other than getting a lot of false alerts. Works perfectly great! I really have no issues with it and works every single time. It has saved me a couple of times already.

    It's a decent radar detector. Does have alot of false alarms regardless of settings. But if you drive the same areas you get used to it.

    Great radar detector for those who dont want to spend $300+. If it fits in your budget I would definitely look into some of the Uniden options. They give way less false alarms and are more precise.

    It is good when it's a true alert but there are a lot of false alerts that comes with it. I have an escort x80 in a different car and passing by the same road this cobra is a bit jumpy. On the bright side the volt meter is on the spot for me. I wish I can return/replace it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      To reduce false alerts, use Medium or Low SEN modes. If you are using the iRadar app with RAD 480i, use Auto SEN mode which will automatically change the SEN mode based on your speed. cedarelectronics-cobra
