Escort makes several Radar Detectors, and I believe their best detector for the money is the Escort MAX 3. A radar detector that false alarms due to retail store door openers, garage doors, etc. soon finds it's way to a drawer or resale. The cry wolf factor leads to no trust, and non-use. This escort appears to have solved those problems. I drove in and out of shopping centers, commercial areas and it did not false alarm, When it did go off, there was a police car lurking in the shadows using some sort of speed checking device. All I know was that I had ample warning to check my speed and keep it at 25mph. As for the mounting system -- it is brilliant. I was leery of the suction cup mount that the max3 slips into, but a week of driving w/o any problems has convinced me. Escort has come up with a system that makes it easy to position the detector high on the windshield without blocking visibility. This mounting system makes it easy as pie to securely mount, take down, store in it's case, remount the detector as desired in seconds.The size and shape of the escort are well thought out and pretty much perfect IMHO. The colored lights, the audible alerts can be set to your specs, I liked the factory settings and am not concerned with how many lights, etc., I only want a sharp audible warning tone as early as possible. The Max 3 does that with aplomb. The features I fell in love with were it's smart phone app and blue tooth integration with my iPhone. The app is incredible! It provides a moving map and displays all known and all reported by other Escort owners locations of speed traps, traffic lights w speed detector cameras, etc. The app makes it easy as pie to use the touch screen on your phone, and report a location to warn others. It is updated 24 by 7, and there is no charge for the service. The app also links with a gps system to show the actual speed limit of the road you are on and your speed. There have been many times when I did not know the speed limit of a road, and had to guess. No more, the app on the iPhone eliminates that problem. The road speed limit links to the Max 3 so that you can always see the road speed limit and your actual speed side by side. If speeding, it will show your speed in red digits vs the blue light of the "road speed limit" digital display light. I tested this feature over and over. I travel in a community with a speed limit of mostly 35mph, and with roundabouts instead of lights. The speed limit in the roundabouts is 20mph. As I drove and entered a roundabout, the speed limit instantly changed on my phone and on the Max 3 speed limit display. I always knew the legal speed limit. This detector may cost more than competitors detectors, but I believe it to be well worth it's price because it works extremely well, hence it will be used every time you get in a vehicle to drive. You will not leave home without it!

A must buy. Saved me from multiple tickets as I traveled from Chicago to South Carolina. The best thing about this device is that it provides the exact distance the trooper is from you as you approach and alerts you to upcoming speed traps with plenty of time to slow down.

For the price, I would rather get a cobra. The radar detector overheats if any sun hits it, and spazes out until it cools down. App is very basic

It works smoothly, it’s pretty sensitive which is nice considering it’s purpose. Love the fact it will store repeat alerts so they aren’t always annoying you when you go past that speed sign.

Love the updates via phone. Lots of options and simple installation. Really love that I can detach it from the window suction cup. The cup attachment is also very well made and very sticky so even 100 degree heat won’t make it collapse

Excellent radar detector. My first one and since purchasing I’ve had it save me from a few stops. Takes a few times to get used to it.
Needed now that states are looking for alternative income in this pandemic. More people are being pulled over now more than in the pass few years.
