    This radar is very good especially if you are on a budget. I have no complaints about it, besides that I had to return it at first because the power cord came broken, and fried an outlet in my car when I tried to use the broken cord.

    I will say I have had all the radars well almost all. Belltronics, Escort etc .. this does just as much as they do as far as great radar detection including distance. I would much prefer this than pay an extra $400 for radars that point which way signal is coming from.

    This detector is easy to set up and is very responsive. I like how it initially is loud, but reduces the volume swiftly. Very nice feature. It has a large screen and lettering making it easy to identify what ban it is monitoring . Overall a very nice unit for the price.

    Have it for 2 of my cars For 3 years now, and recommended to 2 other friends. Absolutely perfect product for the price. Takes a learning curve to fully realize its potential but once you’re there, you won’t need more.

    Seems to work well. Although driving through the city it goes off quit often due to redlights and stuff (set on medium sensitivity). At medium it has a decent range to detect on the interstate.
