  I have used several basic radar detectors over the years, with relative ease and success. However, I thought it might be time to invest in something with a little more technology, given the technology different agencies use on the roads. This item was very well rated on various consumer sites and they reports were correct. Very easy to use. Data feedback was clear and accurate. Worth the investment.

  Excellent product..my last detector was stolen by personnel at Motel 6 and I opted to replace it in kind..had a 985 before and spilled soda on it..great units..never had a problem and always got great satisfaction

  I bought this detector to replace an old Cobra unit that had died. I drive about 65 miles each weekday to and from work, so having a radar detector gives me peace of mind. When I first plugged in the Beltronics unit, everything seemed fine, but the first time it went off I almost jumped out of my skin! The default setting for the volume is apparently set to maximum, and this is a jarring setting. It took a while to figure out how to lower the volume to something more manageable. Now I just need to figure out why I’m getting alerts when there is no obvious source.

  After the initial experience, I’ve been very happy with the Beltronics V995 detector. I especially like the locking mechanism for the mounting bracket, but I can also attach it to the Velcro on the dashboard.

  Since I bought this detector, I have driven about 5000 miles and it has warned me numerous times. The auto mute feature gives you a reasonably loud beep or two, but does not drive you crazy in scenarios when you cant spare a hand to hit the mute button. I have been extremely satisfied.

  Product failed after only 2 years. Beltronics quality has gone downhill.
  Do not buy, unless you only need it for a short time.

  The detector never stopped alerting me. It was constantly going off and there were never any radars in sight. All of sudden it died and never went off anymore. That was after only about 6 weeks. I returned it for full refund. Need I say more. The product I received must have been faulty.

  This radar detector does seem to work well, but sometimes your safe response time can be really short. Whenever it alerts, slow down immediately. I got cocky and took about 2.5 seconds to gradually slow down, and I got a ticket. So, always slam on the brakes immediately whenever there’s an alert.

  Great product for the price. It gives me enough notice to be able to check my speed and slow down if I need to(considering the terrain). I leave my detector on the “autoscan” mode. This does cause it to alert around automatic doors. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good, less expensive radar detector.

  This item does exactly what it claims to do. It detects all bands with warning time. It has been very useful to me only after a short while. Super Item!

  Great sensitivity and very good features especially auto-mute. For the money($150) it’s definitely worth it.
