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.

Cobra radar detection
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome. Works great in the city and out in the country. Highways you pick up truckers, and it will tell you where the traps are or were.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great radar detector. Met my expectations. Has minimal false K from passenger vehicles. And X from buildings is minimal as well. But always on the money with Ka which is the real reason for the device.

Good deal
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Detector for the price, works as listed. Good distance
I would recommend this to a friend Definitely works, but gives a lot of false alerts
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had it for about a week now and I actually like it. It’s one of my first times ever getting a raider detector and it’s definitely worth the price. I’ll connect it to my phone and it’s definitely able to give me updates and give everybody else updates using the app. I also bought the cobra dash cam and they are such a great combo together. I definitely enjoy it. At the price point of $150. I think it’s very reasonable, especially since it has front and back facing detection. Overall, I definitely give it at least a four out of five. It’s not perfect by any stretch and I’m sure if you spend more money you might get better results but for the price point that I definitely have to give it what it’s worth.
