Not too shabby
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's my first, so I know at this price it's not going to be perfect but so far when I am in range of a radar it detects it. Have not come across any police yet to test it on, but the school zone ones it picks them up quick. Pretty sure it picks up on some business alarms. I think it was picking up a red light camera also. You can adjust the sensitivity. I notice a big difference between the three settings. All in all I am happy.

Saved me twice in one day!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first day I used this detector (within 3 days of purchase), it saved me twice. Picked up a signal that I at first thought was from a store as I was on a busy highway, but the signals did not go away and as I continued to drive the signal got stronger. As I crested a small hill, I could see a cop on the opposite site about a half mile down the road with his lights flashing and a poor soul pulled over. After I got on a major highway, about 3 miles in, I had another warning, and as I came around a corner, I could see a state trooper on the overpass and as soon as I saw him, I get lasered! This Cobra lit up like a Christmas tree. I had already slowed down, and as I passed the overpass, I saw a trooper on the on ramp ready to pounce and about 2 miles down the roan, another trooper with a poor soul who was caught. In shorter words, this Cobra works! And works very well. You can't beat the price either!

Not bad for the price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price it isn’t bad, the false alarms can be annoying but to combat that, I recommend changing the sensitivity down in suburban areas. Connecting to the app adds a few beneficial features and is super easy.

Nice purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy installation and ease of use. A negative is it does go off for random vehicles and occasionally for the digital road speed scanner signs. Still a good purchase for the price.

Excellent radar detector
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This radar detector is the best thing I have bought in a long time. It is precise, the app used is wonderful with a visual display of the problem areas, and it sounds long before you approach a law enforcement vehicle. If you approach an active red light camera, the X band will alert you. That’s pretty cool. Yes I am loving this and would recommend it to anyone!

Product worked great but….
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This radar detector was fantastic up until a couple weeks ago. It still detects whether there is radar or laser near by, it just don’t always alert you. I tried everything, sometimes the alarm works great, other times not so great.

Does its job and more!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty sweet unit. It even has an app that does crowd reporting, like Waze. It comes with all the mounting material you need. The range is pretty good as well. I haven't owned a radar detector in years! I bought this for my 3000 mile road trip and it paid off. I also use Waze but not every hidden cop gets reported. This saved me on a few occasions! No tickets!
