easy to use. a little expensive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very glad with my purchase. The device is really simple to use. At least the basic function. The sync with the smart phone was the confusing part. Gave up quickly on that.

Farthest reaching radar detector out there
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used the old passport 8500 for years and it was finally wearing out. I have occasionally tried other brands, and no one is as consistent at picking up radar as Escort. This unit will pick up a cop coming in the opposite direction a mile away, over a hill and around a curve! You will get an occasional false positive but that is a small price to pay. This model doesn't talk to you which I like.

ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works good but if I bought another one I would get the next best one. Just about any alarm sets this thing off. There has been a few times it went of signaling me to slow down and there was a cop nearby. So has been useful
