Customers often highlight the product's excellent radar detection, competitive price, and generally good performance. Many appreciate its ease of use and accuracy, although some experienced false alarms, particularly the train warning, which triggered unexpectedly. A shorter-than-ideal power cord and a somewhat dim display were also mentioned as minor drawbacks. Overall, the detector is considered effective, but users should be aware of these potential issues.

I have purchased this line of detectors for many years as new improvements have come out. I have also had other brands, but for the investment, I have found that the multiband Cobra's have alway worked the best.

I have had great results with the radar. It actually has detected highway patrol miles in advance. Some are false readings, but I'd prefer false (ambulance) readings than a ticket.

I do get alerts for radars in the area, but i constantly keep getting Train alerts, which is really strange, but it seems like they're always false alarms, but this is an average radar detector.

All it seems to be able to detect is a walgreens or any other business with automatic doors. It also detects trains and we are not near a train.

I recently took a trip from SC to Port St Lucie, Florida. The detector was going off constantly with no sign of radar. It would signal for about 30 seconds and stop, then it would signal as if you were on top of the radar and continue for a minute or more, or until I would get annoyed and turn it off. I also never realized how many trains were on I-95. The detector was telling me there was a train every couple of miles.-(OK, that was a bit on the sarcastic side.) I intend to return it, if it isn't too late.
