This radar detector looks good but the display did not work. I found that this is a wide spread problem with these radar detectors. I don’t suggest buying one of these. Buy a Escort or Valentine if you want a great radar detector.

Decent performance, some faulty x bands, but has worked many times to save me from a ticket

very good product for what it does. Registers a lot of unrelated foreign signals as well radar/laser. I wish it detected signals sooner. Be warned that as with all detectors this detects without any promises. The better protection against speeding citations is to slow down

Bought the product in 2007. It has been helpful since then.

Three months ago the display broke. Last month it stopped working. It was worth the money.

This is an outstanding product and best value for the buck of all radar detectors I have seen or heard about.
The only con I saw so far is that it gets some false alarms. Nevertheless, better safe than sorry - all it does is respond to beams and frequencies. It does have a toggle button city/highway to mitigate significantly false alarms, yet when you are on the freeway, it better be on highway mode.
Now to the good stuff: It has a sweet display, way better than even the high end detectors have!
The GPS module is a genius idea. You'll be surprised how many red-light cameras are out there that you are unaware of. AND EVEN if you are familiar with them, it turns out to be a great reminder and a wakeup call right and ahead of time.
This toy has already saved me twice so it has already paid for itself!!! I've gotta tell you one very important thing readers, and I hope this will not be censored: Lately, if you've noticed, there is an increasing number of patrol officers PICKING ON PEOPLE TO GENERATE MORE REVENUE TO THE GOVERNMENT, WHO IS DEEP IN DEBT. So it's not that I don't drive safely - I DO. But it's time we be ahead of the game here!
It covers virtually every type of radar detection out there!
It has a compass, it can show your car battery voltage power, it can display your speed and you can set a threshold speed after which you'll get a warning. It can show you your GPS coordinates at all times. Beautiful easy to get interface to configure the device to your preferences. What more could you ask for?
So you see, not only is it a fine radar detector - it is much more than that. No other radar detector even comes close feature-wise - and that's where I see this product's strength. I am extremely happy with this purchase.

I have found a couple of camera’s that this product did not show up. I plan on turning these in but how many more is out there that i don’t know about. I pass a THP one night and never got no signal warning but there is always that chance that he wasn’t running radar. More time will tell before i take off and se it on a trip.

As an engineer I have done some repeatable tests and every time I got same results, hence this unit is reliable in my opinion. I was able to pick all traffic photo enforcement areas and radars in different states. Display of GPS coordinate is a cool feature when you need to let others know where you are at. The “small USB” based GPS antenna should be reinforced a little bit for more mechanical ruggedness. I am not using the octopus grip clips that comes with the kit. Again…. design problem, The grip, length & angle of metallic piece, total weight of the detector do not match and fells from wind shield after a few road bumps. It is not major thing, you can buy different mount or stand.

Over all I am pleased with the product.
