I have not owned a radar detector in 20 years. But, this one is a pretty good device at a great price. In addition, linking the detector to my smart phone was easy.

Thank you for choosing Cobra! For the best performance, make sure it’s mounted centered on the windshield and away from obstructions or heavy tint. If you need help or have any questions, please contact us at 800-543-1608.

Works well. Your able to turn off bands that often are false radar alerts suck as K Band radar which typically happens near electronic doors. The app is also helpful as you approach tartar targets. The only downside is needing a paid subscription to do certain things within the app as you only get a 30 day trial.

Seems to do the trick. Very much an in between price point and it’s very observant to various frequencies. Easy to use, easy to see and hear. The app is friendly and helpful with or without the device in vehicle. Come with a car battery strength meter as well which seemed delicate and I turned it off for the reason. Does well in cold and hot weather

First time getting a laser radar. At first I thought it wasn't working correctly since it only detected 3 out of 10 cop cars I came across, but after searching how laser radars work I found out it was normal. It does pick up some false alarms, but it doesn't bother me, because it means the radar is working.
Hopefully it will save me from getting a ticket.

Gives false alerts if you have a newer vehicle with, land departure or distance radars. May have to turn off device and turn it back on. Other than that still a great buy overall.

This product does really well except for it picks up a lot of false signals. The signals probably come from the new technology on cars with proximity detectors/sensors.
