Not that great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn’t work as expected. It does not alert of police radars. Needs constant updates.

Can’t update using car wifi
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The devices seems great! The update using the car WiFi are too slow to finish. I have been trying for a week. I also tried to update with my laptop without success. I tried call tech support at the company and can’t get a live person after 6 attempts. For the price, not easy not maintain with updates.

Posted .Updates over Wi-Fi should take a couple minutes at most. If yours are taking significantly longer, there may be an issue with the detector. For further assistance, please call us at 800-543-1608 during our hours of Monday-Friday, 9am-5:00pm EST.

To expensive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got it home installed with camera. Nothing special just a radar detector way way over priced. No new technology nothing special except it now has directional light on it. Escort has got people to believe that this radar detector is worth $600+

Excellent Mounting System, cheesy plastic case.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was considering the Uniden R3 and the Escort 360c. The 360c is mostly a hands-free device that’s mostly automatic in terms of sensitivity when driving and automatically tuning out false alarms, etc. I want the radar to be situationally aware (I’ve NEVER had a speeding ticket). I don’t intentionally speed for thrills and I’m no nascar driver. I understand the R3 is known to be the most sensitive radar unit on the market at the moment (A huge pro for excessive speeders I’m assuming), but it also seems to demand a bit more of your attention to mute out false alerts, etc. I just want to set the device and forget about it and the 360c does that fairly well. The $399 price tag was also considerably better on the R3 over the 360c (paid about $580 on sale). However, the Escorts WIFI allowing for auto-updates is convenient. The real deal breaker, THE MOUNTING SYSTEM ! ! ! The Escort mounting system is magnetic. I don’t leave the detector hooked up when parked in public, so it’s nice being able to have a more seamless experience mounting and unmounting the device. Another bonus is the directional arrows directing your attention to the radar location. Four stars because my unit came with a scratch and the plastic body feels cheap (build quality) for the money this detector costs.

Really good to really bad
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked great for a few months and then became the biggest piece of trash I have ever purchased. This thing will beep and alarm for the entire drive EXCEPT when in front of a police car doing radar. It never used to do that when I first bought it, I’m not sure what changed. Maybe a software update? It is way too sensitive even on the lowest setting to the point where I have to unplug it because I’m so annoyed. I’m hoping Escort fixes this issue because as of now, this thing is useless and irritating.

Posted .If you are receiving constant Ka radar alerts then there is probably an issue with the detector requiring it to be serviced. To set this up, fill out the repair form on the Escort Radar website or call us at 800-543-1608.
To reduce false X and K alerts, use the Auto SEN modes. To change the SEN mode, repeatedly press the SEN button.
Enabling "K Notch" in the detector's preferences menu will also greatly reduce K band false alerts from vehicles with radar based collision avoidance systems.

Doesn’t fit steep windshields well
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m sure this is a good product but for 650 dollars you’d think they would include more mounting options than just the one which has very limited maneuverability. My 3rd gen Tacoma has a windshield that was too steeply raked for this mount. This didn’t fit by my mirror and to put it down low it was blocked by the hood. The included power cable also causes an issue because it’s not a straight wire so you cant really hide it in the interior trim and run it down to the power adapter. A shame because I would have been happy with the price tag and kept it if I could have just mounted it to my truck lol. Oh well.

Escort not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WiFi feature isn’t worth the extra $100. Get the Bluetooth model. Also experienced a lot of fake alarms.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were not impressed with MAX 360c. Here are some tips to help improve your experience with this highly advanced radar detector:
MAX 360c includes an updatable IVT Filter which we update to reject the latest radar based vehicle collision avoidance systems like blind spot monitors. These systems are a common source of false alerts. Be sure to update the firmware to have the latest false alert rejection technology. You can update it easily by connecting it to a Wi-Fi hotspot or you can connect MAX 360c to a computer using a USB cable and install and run our Detector Tools Pro software. Enabling K Notch in the unit's preferences menu and using Auto SEN mode will also greatly reduce false alerts.
Also be aware that MAX 360c automatically learns and stores false alerts as you drive. It takes a few passes by the source of the false alert before it learns and ignores these signals. The unit will issue a "Stored" message when this happens.

What I expected, did not see
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have my personal opinion on this device, perhaps too much of what they had to offer. I will say one thing that for the first time in my life I received a fine from a police officer. It worked well enough, probably for a week or so. After that, I noticed that the huge police car did not even notice that it was just across the street from the intersection and did not see it in many streets. . I hope the production company will think a little bit about how to fix these problems. I would definitely love this device, but have a quality one. After all, I bought these two devices for my own safety, which is the first issue for me.

Not the best
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used this on a trip and it did not respond to multiple encounters I had with highway patrol. I’ve used Valentine One prior and it’s way more responsive.

Disappointed!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sends false Ka band alarms periodically while driving. Range is terrible. Got a ticket from a TX State trooper and Escort won’t pay the ticket because I didn’t buy it from them. Had an Escort Max II before and it was great. Very disappointed with this model. Certainly not worth the money.

Posted .Ka false alerting is not normal. If it continues to alert to Ka with no police spotted, contact us at 800-543-1608, option 2 on the menu.

Buyer Beware... The $350 Escort is BA & thisisjunk
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have bought many Escort Radar Detectors over the years. Thinking this MAX 360c would do the job. WRONG!!! All lightning and false triggering has cost me $374 in tickets. I am returning this device and requesting a new one or my money back. Stay tuned

No customer support
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Three months old and doesnt work any more. And customer support doesn't respond to email and no one answers the phone before you are disconnected. Although the detector was nice while it worked...it was way too expensive to only last three months.

Never worked
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this brand new and the only thing that worked were the back-lit buttons on top. Screen would never come on or alert me of radar. For being so expensive you would think that they would at least test them before shipping them to retail!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Escort- Cedar Electronics Team
Posted .We are so sorry to hear this! They most definitely are tested. Please make sure the detector is not in Dark mode; try performing a factory reset. If this does not resolve it, please seek to exchange or repair it. Again, very sorry; this is not a common occurrence.
