  Product works great… the only gripe i have is that the power cord is very elastic and pulled the detector off my dash a few times. Other than that the product is excellent

  I have had this detector for just a month and its already saved my butt for sure at least twice. Specifically once when I was speeding a considerable amount and a ticket would have been guaranteed.

  It works well with lasers, I can confirm this just today. Also the Emergency Vehicle feature works well to my surprise. Its kind of useless to me, but very cool nonetheless.

  I went from a cheapo whistler unit that was stolen to this one and I couldn’t be happier. It is very customizable and over time, once you’ve figured out which frequencies are usually bogus, you can set it up so you will have almost zero false [radar] alarms.

  The only thing that really bugs me is that it is very sensitive to POP, and if I leave it on, I get tons of false POP warnings. I’ve still yet to get a POP warning from a cop so Ill probably disable POP.

  This detector is certainly worth the money and more. If you can get it for under $100, you have my full support.

  Bought this radar detector after my Bel radar detector bit the dust after 10 years. I’ve had this detector for about a month now and found it to be useless. Lots of false alarms on all bands, especially on K and Ka. I have yet to see a police car with radar after the alarms go off. I had to turn off the radar detector “detector” features (VG-2 and Spectre) as they would go off for no reason. An example: sitting in a driveway of a rural subdivision and the VG-2 alarm going off non-stop, and I live in a state (Wisconsin) that doesn’t even use these types of detectors. Voice alert got annoying after awhile so I turned that off too. My old Bel detector was always on the mark with detecting police radar and rarely had false alarms. I would not recommend this product to anyone – waste of money.

  Nice looking unit purchased in time for a 3,500 mile trip. Spent time traveling to Iowa from New Hampshire with the compass reading E instead of W…very frustrating..I had a magnetic compass in the car and the readings varied widely. Re-calibrated the unit probably 20 times, all to no avail. Just before item returned, it read N while parked in front of my apt. while car was actually facing S.
  Further, it gave me virtually no warning time on approaching police vehicles. It would finally pick up the radar, but only after the police unit was in full view. I know radar was more prevalent due to traffic stops I saw on the trip, including one car in front of me picked up by radar, cop turned around, and my unit didn’t pick it up until he was in back of me and passing to get the speeder in front of me
  Totally unacceptable, worst radar unit I’ve ever owned.

  This radar detector is the probably the best detector i ever owned, the range is great i live in raleigh north carolina and i do lots of highway driving and this thing saved me at least 50 times from a speeding tickets and the compass is amazing and everything on it, the only dislike is out of know where it will display pop mode when theres no cops insight, like i will be in my driveway and the detector will go off like crazy. But other then that great detector i recommend it to all my friends and family.

  I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. It works as advertised. She got the warning well in advance of the radar speed trap.

  I have had different Manufacturers of Radars but by far this has been the best. Easy to use, Very good display of Signals, and the voice is loud enough to get your attention. I would buy another of this model if the need arises.

  This item is a real turd. It goes off for no reason half the time when a police car is near it doesn’t seem to notice. It is worthless on the toll road it goes off none stop not sure why, it is the same in town. I bought it on sale if I would have paid full price I would really be upset. Go a different route. I also have a cobra and I wish I would have just stuck with that brand maybe, I don’t know

  This is the second Whistler that I’ve owned with POP Alert and I’m very happy with it. In fact the moments after plugging in the unit and going for a drive I picked up an Austin Policeman clocking radar on the highway. No radar detector is fool proof, they’re just for reducing the risk of getting a ticket.

  I purchased this little gem and am I glad I did. It has saved me many times the purchase price. It has good range and has picked up every car I have been able to spot. The fuzz is getting smarter so don’t think that is a false warning they have just shut it off for a bit.

  I think since its not very expensive, the quality wouldn’t be the same as 300 dollar ones. Sometimes on the road, we would pass a police vehicle and it would not even signal. But for the money, I think its worth it.

  This radar detector works great. It has various settings to reduce false alarms. It helps avoid speeding tickets.

  Great price and quick shipping. I like the way the unit alerts then the sound volume lesses considerabley after the initial alert. It gets your attention but doesn’t aggrevate by a constant load alert.

  This radar detector is not sensitive enough. I see the police cars as the radar detector alerts me. I got a ticket in Alabama on I-20 near Talladega, the unit alerted me as the Officer turned his lights on. The Officer was about 200 feet away at the time.
