It works nice and looking nice exterior. It still has false alarm but much less than old models. Live apps crash often on Android device and delay distance on X80 display screen. if app solves some issue, it should more happy to have one.

I have had escort radar detectors for many years and they have never failed me. I have tried other radar detectors and they just don't compare.

It performs as advertised. You plug it in, attach it to your windshield, it powers on and works. It beeps when it detects an officer of the law aiming his radar gun at me.

Looks good; sounds great; solid build, etc ... But for me, it did not meet expectations.
Simple: Long straight stretch from Las Vegas to PDX, multiple instances of no 'contact' from LE vehicles. It picked them up about a mile or so away & slowing down from 90+ to 70+ in a few seconds is not happening.
Another example: Driving down 5 from pdx to cali, just out of Salem, straight stretch, passed LE & within a few seconds, I could see flashing lights on my rearview mirror. Luckily for me, the RV behind was following me at the same rate of speed & got tagged!!!.
Lots of false alarms & this could be due to most of the cars having gazillion sensors around them; but still ...!!!.
IMO, I think this unit would have been the cat's meow several years back; but in today's time, it is jaded.
YMMV .. literally. This unit gives the user a false (sic) sense of protection imo.

Brand response from Escort- Cedar Electronics Team

Thank you for the feedback. It is possible the "no contact" instances were because of laser usage. If police are aiming a handheld device at cars, this is laser. Laser uses a fine beam so typically the only alert given is who is being targeted. For added protection against laser, try using the Escort Live app with its crowd sourced alerts. X80 wirelessly connects to the Escort Live via Bluetooth.

I bought this to replace an outdated radar for my wife’s new car. I have an Escort radar I’m my truck and really enjoyed it. So, I replaced the old one that she had in her car.

Upgraded to the Escort x80 from a cheaper radar detector & I have to say that this one is much much better in quality and is very accurate. Works even better when used with the escort app

For the money, the best radar detection unit I have ever owned. If you want to know when you are being put under surveillance at a reasonable price this Escort unit will meet your needs. Easy to install and set up.

Performed awesome for about 4 hours. After that - it no longer displayed speed correctly (would be 50% off) nor would it alert (based on the speed being reported by half).
Returned the next day.
