    I bought this Radar detector while travelling from New Jersey to Toronto Canada, and I was really impressed by the performance of this radar. I was way over the speed limit and every time it alerted me whenever there was law enforcement around from a very long distance. This is the best radar detector in my opinion. It is a little expensive but let me tell you it is totally worth it.

    Great product, works wonderful. Has already saved me a few tickets, so it has paid for itself. Only complaint is the window suction cup. I had to order a new one because it kept falling off of my windshield.

    Highly reccomend this radar detcetor. Coming from an Escort Max 360 I’ve been blown away with the range. The filtering isnt quite as good as escort, but when paired with the Highway Radar app on an android phone that has a proper profile installed with more blind spot monitoring syster filters applied its amazing. (Check the forums for profiles)
