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.

This product works great. I have used this brand before and only had to replace it due to the chord being chewed through by the family pet.

This is a great radar detector and I think that everyone needs one. Just keep in mind that cops can catch you even if you're using it.

I've been driving with this radar detector for about a month. It seems to work well in detecting radar and Laser but the features of recognizing a train or EMS vehicles is constantly giving false alarms. It gets you to the point where you want to just shut it off. But just doesn't help if you don't want to get a ticket.

Worth the price. I know most cops don't have their radars on when they are driving around but when they use their lasers or they are hiding around corners. It is well worth it. Only down side is when your in the city, it likes to go off and give false alarms even in city mode.

This radar detector doesn't appear to have an flaws. Seems to pick up signals, etc. However, the cord is a bit short, so it tends to either have to fall across the dashboard (in front of the monitor screen) or it will pull it off the dashboard if stretched to not be in front of the monitor view. Could totally use a longer cord. Also, not a dealbreaker, but very simplistic led readout.

Haven't owned a radar detector in years, lost faith in them. A coworker recommended I get one since I look at the speed limit as more like a recommendation than anything. Said Cobra was still the way to go on radar detector brands. This one has yet to let me down. Whether on the streets or expressway. It detects them miles away, giving you more than enough time to slow down. Now of course I'm sure Best Buy & Cobra don't recommend you drive over the limit, but if you have to, this product will be your best friend!

Some false reads in city but I think its to be expected. I wish this model had batteries like my old radar. I rather have one then not.
