    Peace of mind at its best. I never had any regrets buying this top of the line product, easy to use and the Defender database keeps you updated of almost anything that is essential to long diatance travellers like myself. Visiting new cities can be a breeze since it alerts you of speed traps and other possible delays like red light cameras conspicuously hidden. Directional arrows tell you ahead of time where the possible threat might be way ahead of time. It might be pricier than the rest out there but at least knowing you have the top of the line model makes you not worry about the possible features the other models/units might have that you might not have.

    This has great range. Ran it for two weeks next to my old 9500i. It is quite a bit larger. Far greater range. Arrows are really nice to have. False learning appears to work great. Works well out of the box on false K band. Audi, Volkswagen, and Chevrolet are all silent now. Most Buick, Kia, and Hyundai's are now too. Hopefully there is an update soon to knock out Honda and Acura. Overall very happy with my upgrade.

    Fairly new to radars detectors after many years. I can say I am very impressed with the look and design and quality of the new Max 360 (purchased 8/2017). The review mirror mount is really awesome and seems to be sturdy as well. That really keep the detector out if the way and looks great. Be-sure to take your time when installing it the 1st time. I learned the hard way and had to redo my installation, very frustrating. I drive 65+ highway miles and about 20 in city miles daily and always run the detector in either highway or auto No X mode. Seems to have a lot of K band faults while on the highway mode or either I am not seeing the smokies...which drives me crazy, but I am still learning how to use this device. Getting more than I like X band alerts and k band alerts while in the city or ( auto no x mode), but hope to learn how to get rid of those soon. It's a toy for me right now, but it has slowed me down and actually made a better driver. I also seem to be more aware of want I am doing and that is good sense there are so many stupid drivers out there. I like the Max 360 because it has a lot of extra features. Not everything you can get in a detect, but a great start for a newbie. Get one you will love it!

    I bought this radar detector after a long wait. It has amazing range all around. The only thing I would recommend is a faster software because like when I pass the radar source and it would be behind me already, it takes like 15 seconds to arrows to respond with the direction. Set up is very easy.

    I have an Escort Redline that works great, but I wanted to upgrade to something with GPS and directional arrows. This model has those features and a better display too. There are more options and settings this one has that I'm sure I'll grow to appreciate. But I really dislike the look and feel of the thing. The Redline is compact, solid and feels high quality (it's cast aluminum I think). But this Max 360 is all plastic and much larger without the high-end beefy feel (although, it is actually heavier). They added a chrome decorative strip around the top and chromed buttons and it just seems cheesy. It's just too big all around. Buttons are huge, everything is. The other really frustrating thing is the windshield mount. The older models used the "supercup" mount that was infinitely adjustable. The new mount this came with is magnetic, which is cool, but it adjusts up and down only at certain pre-set angles. Because of the angle of my X5's windshield it's not possible to install perfectly level. I'd probably just get the Valentine One or stick with the Redline if I did this over again.

    Been using the Max 360 for a few a months now and it's been amazing the way it works. The "LIVE" mode is awesome. It tells you when you have a speeding trap or camera or officers with laser guns ahead. Best money spent!!

    First unit: I bought this redar detector in April and within two weeks it was giving me erroneous Ka band readings. It would alert sometimes for ten minutes or more while driving and I would have to unplug it to reset the alerts. I called Escort and checked for an update. It still falsely alerted after the update, so I returned and exchanged it at Best buy on May 1. Second unit: After the exchange I immediately updated the new unit. Five weeks later, same problem. False Ka band readings, basically rendering the detector unusable, and definitely making it untrustworthy. I again called Escort, and now my return-to-store period is over, I'm told I would have to return this unit to Escort for repair. Then I'm told their repair center is closed due to Covid-19 and it *might* reopen at a limited capaity sometime in July. After a lengthy conversation expressing my frustrations the representative gets authorization to replace my unit. I received the 2nd new detector in the mail today, 6/23. 3rd unit: New in box. For sale, cheap! I bought a Uniden R7 and bought the Uniden mounting pieces to modify my blendmount from the Escort to the Uniden. This radar detector has saved me from a few tickets in the short time I've owned it, that's the only thing saving it from a one star review. You should skip purchasing this one.

    I love all the features on this Radar Detector. It shows you the direction of the threat and identifies the type. I've had it a couple of weeks now and there are so many features I still need to learn how to take advantage of like the App.

    Replaced a 16 year old X50 that stood the test of time, if this one last as long as the X50 I’ll be even happier. The arrows are clutch

    This is garbage and not worth the asking price, I purchased this unit since the the employee from bestbuy highly recommended this . So here's what happened, after I had it for less than 2wks , at first it was functioning fine and there were some false alerts however it got really hot and I couldn't get the radar to power back on , I was really upset because the price I paid ($479) and that was with the $50.00 off on sale. I figured it shouldn't have any issues but luckily I had 2days left to return it which I gladly did with a smile. I suggest if you buy this garbage make sure you purchase the warranty through bestbuy or you will have to send it out to the company Escort itself and wait on it to return. I also was worried after I took it out the box it had a note saying not to return to the store if you had any issues with it and that right there was a big red flag for me.
