    The best detector on the planet!

    Hands down it's the best detector out there. Includes directional arrows to tell you where the radar is coming from and a sensitivity bar to show you how close. This detector is very sensitive so it will pick up high end car's proximity sensors but it's false alerts are minimal. The best part is that it uses GPS and can actually learn from repeated false alerts if they occur in the same place after just a few times. Too many great features with this unit to list them all. One downside i will say is that it comes with a price tag that is a bit high but in the end it's well worth it to me for a little piece of mind. I really couldn't be happier with this purchase.

    I love the fact that it tells me which direction the radar signal is coming from and the autolock out of identical repeatable signals is fantastic. The voice prompts are or not as good as my old 9500ix and sound cheaply recorded it could also be the speaker in this unit. The new color display is a welcome change. The things that I don't like is the fact that it tells me that there's red light cameras while I'm on the expressway and tollway. And the unit itself is very large much bigger than the max and in my 9500ix. I am not disappointed with this purchase though I think the price point was a little high. They really need to fix the false red light camera alerts while you're on the expressway though it's pointing to red light cameras that are off the expressway that I'm passing and it's a little annoying. It would also be good if you could lock out laser signals because there are some toll booths that set off the laser alert, this is also the same problem with my 9500ix. The redline may be a little more sensitive than this unit but as I don't use it to prevent speeding tickets I just like to know my surroundings it's still an excellent product and I would recommend it. If you are a speeder and you want the best protection against getting a ticket get the redline better yet don't speed at all and follow flow of traffic everyone else is speeding anyway.

    The directional arrows showing threat alerts are very helpful for situational awareness. Sensitivity is very good, but not the best. It does get false alarms from others cars collision avoidance radars, but all detectors do and the 360MAX's directional arrows help you identify the false alarms easier.

    I have had this Detector for 5 years now. Picked it up back when it was still new for $649. It works excellent for me. Small learning curve working out all the false alarms. Range is great, directionals work awesome. Absolutely love this detector. It replaced a bell vector 940 that I ran for over 20 years.

    I have used many radar detectors for years and highly relied on my V1. Using or interpreting radar detectors is a bit of an art. Radar detectors, detect radar, but not all radar is police radar. The V1 generally considered the industry leader for years is not only a great detector it was the only one with radar direction arrows. When the detector goes off, you not only know your in the presence of radar, you know generally where it’s coming from. This information allows you to determine whether this is police radar or another radar source like the blind spot monitoring system on most any Cadillac, Honda, Acura, GMC, Buick and others. Unfortunately, the V1 has been getting worse at filtering out these non-police radar sources and alerts frequently(yes it has up-to-date “junk-k fighter”). I purchased my first Escort 360 (I now have 3)because of the radar direction arrows and several reviews. I have compared both my V1 and the 360 side by side in my vehicle in real world driving for couple of months. I found the 360 to generally alert about 1-2 seconds before the V1 in general use (mostly highway). Non-police radar (blind spot) alerts generally do not occur and are shorter and weaker when they happen. I’d say the 360 false alerts about 5x less. Stationary radar sources, security alarms, intersection monitors, etc, can be automatically or manually locked out which is a bonus. The direction arrows are SLOW when changing source direction and the detector itself is kinda big. The Escort live is a nice feature, how ever not always accurate if police radar in moving instead of stationary. Escort live being a user based app should not be $50 a year, $9.99-19.99 would be more appropriate for what you get. Now if I could only get Uniden to make the R3 DSP with arrows, we’d have a new game.

    Had a coworker that purchased this detector and when I heard the price, I was flabbergasted. I thought, “There’s no way I’d spend $500 on a radar detector!” And I didn’t. BestBuy had a great sale on these and after hearing how well my coworker’s has been working for him, I couldn’t NOT buy it. I live in a pretty rural area so the need for speed comes a knockin’ often. This detector has helped be the range my eyes don’t have to give me plenty of warning of approaching law enforcement. Gotta love the directional arrows that alert you to which direction the signal is coming from. A big upgrade for me from my previous detector was the auto-learn feature on this. Based off of GPS, it learns where known detectors or speed guns are at for roadside speed check setups.

    I replaced an Escort 9500ix with this detector and couldn't be happier. I love the directional arrows and the app for the phone is very useful as well. It has a much improved windshield mount that connects with the detector with a magnetic link. The suction cup to the window is great as well. I loved my 9500ix for years but due to all of the cars with advanced monitoring systems had noticed some false alarms that I thought were due to those. Just today with my new detector an alert with an arrow from behind came up and when the newer car passed me the arrow went to the side and then in front of me. It of course is also nice to know where the officer with the radar is. It has been very accurate in the two months that I have owned it. I also love that when it is connected to the app it will tell you the posted speed limit (and if you are over it). Very nice feature when driving through towns that I am not familiar with. Great detector. The only down side is the price but I have driven over 600 miles a week for three and a half years and have gotten no tickets. Considering that both the 9500ix and the Max 360 are well worth the price!

    Detector has great range and great features to mark speed traps and alert you of red light cameras in the area. Also Links to your phone with via bluetooth for in app features. Cons are the detector is a little bulky and little slow to learn false alerts in same locations even after marked.

    This is a really good radar detector, and it has already saved me on several occasions. Used in combination with Waze, it can be a very powerful tool. I wasn't sold on the directional arrows at first but I have found them quite useful. There are a bunch of customizable settings to set it up for beginner or advanced users. The GPS auto-learn technology works well, as I've seen it in action 3-4 times around town. The mounting suction cup was a breeze to install and actually stays put on the windshield, which is nice. The drawbacks are that even with auto-learn there are still a ton of false alarms, especially if you have it on highway mode. I drove 700 miles mostly interstate and the thing was constantly bringing up K band alerts every time I drove by a nice car with blind spot monitors. I believe Auto mode corrects some, but not all of this, but then you lose a little distance versus the highway mode. I also noticed the laser alert pop up on a few occasions where I'm 99% sure I was not being targeted by an officer with a laser. Overall I will deal with the false alarms to have the extra protection against tickets. Hopefully they continue updating the software (which you can update via a USB cable on your computer) to continue to fine tune and minimize false alerts.

    Have owned 4 other detectors (all Escort) and this is by far the absolute best. Easy to use, easy to program, excellent range and false alarms are minimal. Just finished 1200 mile trip to FL. Was saved 2x's with rear detection ability. Escort hit a homerun with this one......I love it.. Almost forgot---Best Buy sold it to me $90 under manufacturers pricing. I was pleased with price and performance--ah, life is good...

    I have been an Escort user for many years. In recent years my old detector would go off when many of the newer model cars drove by. This new detector has been GREAT. No false alarms, no alarms when other cars pass, etc. You will definitely want to understand what some of the bells and whistles of this detector are so you can make adjustments if needed, but it does what I wanted it to do.

    I have owned deveral Excort radar detectors for over 20 years, and he Mx360 id thebext radar detector I have owned. Sensitivity is fantastic without resulting in false alarms. The directional arrows are a must have feature which provides invaluale information. I own the Valtntine One, cut thr extremely high number of false alerts was unaccptable and annoying. Thew Max 360 doesnot plague the driver with a high number of false alerts, yet sensitivity and range performance are outstanding. Thcustomizable featureares are geat for tailoring performance to different driving condiotions allowing mme to Drive with confidence.

    After using different Valantine One radars for the past 15 years it was a change to switch to Escort. After using it for a month and multiple highway trips I am glad that I made the switch. The range it has on the hwy has been awesome and I am getting little to no false alerts.

    I think the Max360 is a great option for people who want all the bells and whistles and also want something easy to use that does everything for you. It’s especially good for people who want both all the bells and whistles while also having a user friendly experience. It’s not the cheapest or the smallest detector in the world. In fact it’s the largest and the most expensive. However, you get a whole lot of useful features and usability for your money and that’s what it’s all about.

    Long Range --- but software is a little squirrely

    I had an old Cobra radar detector since forever, and it quit working outta nowhere. A police officer was nice enough to notify me that it had failed with a big fat citation. I purchased this unit before going on vacation the following month. It works very well and provides an adequate warning with K, Ka X bands, Laser was a little different because the thing went off as I stared down is cruiser in the center of the highway just over a small hill. I think the guy pulsed me and that's why it did not show up till then. The GPS has allowed me to have it ignore the radar sign in a construction zone I pass through daily and is a great option. The software for Escort Live is a little squirrely at times. When you exit or enter the highway you get false Overspseed warnings, Another quirk in the software is that you can set a location of interest and when you get near a voice alert will say you have arrived, and then as you drive away the voice alert will say you have arrived again even though the GPS shows your distance is increasing. I do like the voice and visual warnings that police are in the area or a traffic camera is ahead, and to my surprise there are a lot of people with this software app issuing police warnings. So that is a big help. This is my first purchase from Escort ... The unit is very well made, but I have noticed I am already getting some vibration on my magnetic coupling to the windshield, so I'm not too excited about that feature as it's only a few months old.

    Great radar detector with good online integration

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The two standout features of this detector are the integration with Escort Live (which provides real-time, crowd-sourced information about traffic and speed traps) and the directional arrows that indicate where the radar signal is coming from. The directional arrows are helpful, but it is not as easy as with competitive products to see how many signals there are. The online integration is good, but it hooks up through Bluetooth, which doesn't always connect. Given the maturity of Bluetooth, that seems a little off. But the basic detector functions are first rate as you would expect from Escort. The unit is well built and has the best windshield mount I've ever seen. It comes with a very nice carrying case. Another nice feature is a 2A USB power outlet built into the charger cord. (Too bad they didn't work out a direct serial connection through that port to the phone to avoid the Bluetooth issues.)
