Customer Ratings & Reviews

Own this for roughly two months. So far seems to do the job, but have not taken out on a long drive to truly test the potential.

Our first radar detector. Used on a 1250 mile trip for the first time. Seemed to work great. Alerted us in enough time to slow down.

Its great like i like it very much but then again at times it won't . Won't work as it won't pick up some cops at times.

Saved me a lot of tickets. Plus the quick mute feature is great when on the phone. Never had an issue with it.

Haven't had much opportunity to test all its features. This unit combined excellent quality and an reasonable price.

This detector was an upgrade of an older one I had. The Escort Passport 8500 works great and has all the functions you need.

Really does the job! One of my friends recommended it and I thought I would give it a try. No speeding tickets since

Seems to be a great unit. May not be the best you can buy but, does the trick if you use your head.

I used to own an Escort Passport 7500 and this seemed to be a good replacement for it. But it was a total disappointment. In the course of a 650 mile trip it "cried wolf" so many times that we ended up unplugging it. With my 7500, anytime there were short intense blips of K band, it meant that there was a handheld radar being used somewhere ahead. But with this 8500, it did that short bursts all the time for entire stretches as along as 12 miles, with not a bogey in sight. I tried going into city mode to see if it would clear up the clutter and it did not. Also the device would switch between dim and bright mode by itself. I returned it the next day. I am not sure if the one i got was bad or Escort is starting to produce junk. I will probably try a V1 and see if it works

Easy to use and the Bluetooth to the phone gives you a lot of notice of the hot areas.

I drove 2,000 miles and it only detected one cop out of 20. Build quality is great

I like the fact that you can tie it in to your iPhone which I may do at a later date.

I'm very pleased with the performance of this escort, I've once others but this one truly works

The Escort is helpful to my job efforts in attempting to max out time and drive smart ...

This is the best radar detector I've ever owned. I would recommend this model to anyone.

I like after it gets your attention it quits down but keeps the visual alert active.

I have had other radar detectors. Nothing compares to what this brings to the table.

I bought this radar detector for my boyfriend for christmas and he loves it so far.

I love this gadget accurate, very handy. I recommend to have it, it's worth it.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the radar, it meets my expectation!
