What's great about it: Works really great. Not expensive either.
What's not so great: Does pick up the occasional building alarm in the city.
Whistler Radar & Laser Detector I got works great on highway. Not as good in the city but still really good. For the money I paid for this item it was money very well spent. It was not expensive either. Very happy with it. :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price and dependability
Purchased this detector based on price and the reviews given. Recently took a road trip to Vegas and this Radar detector did exactly what its suppose to do "warn you of speed traps" I was going 90-100 mph on interstate 70 and interstate 15 and I can tell you it warned me off approaching speed traps way before I even saw the highway patrol sitting behind dense cactus. Even when the highway patrol was going the opposite way and they're radar was on. This whistler is worth every dollar!

i got one of these radar for 30 buck only i thought it wasn't gonna work and i was going to return it. Turn out when i got it in the mail and use it for the first time it was able to detect the speed sign were i live!!! then a few days later it detected a chp radar gun the thing went off like crazy for the price i paid for i can't really complain a pretty god detector. i just wish the range on the 360 protection went farther.

What's great about it: Laser, little falses, it lasts
What's not so great: Radar range, loudness
These are somewhere between a high end Cobra and a very low end Bel. All the internals in the Whistler line are the same, just have different extras. Mine has been decent, I can really trust the laser side, its amazed me picking up cops from far away and around obstacles. the X,K,Ka arent really impressive though, about the time Ka (cop!) goes off, I can usually see the cruiser- not alotta help.. I don't "speed" but sometimes Im not paying attention, so a detector is just a reminder for me. I'd save to get another detector unless price is a real factor, because you'd save alot of money in tickets so one Escort or Bel will pay for itself. If you just want an "alerting" radar, these will suffice. Oh, and I dont get many falses with this either, (weird considering the price) but the sound could be louder IMO.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: it detects speed traps as you get closer it tells you with I II III
What's not so great: doesnt detect all the police cars just some
the first time i saw this my friend had one and ive bought some before so i thought they dont really work since the other ones didnt but when my friend was approaching a police car we hadnt seen yet it alerted us and he slowed down but there was no trap just the car we passed the car then it went off again so we slowed down and then it got louder and louder it tiurned out that there had been a speed trap about two overpasses in front of us and when i saw that it actually worked then i decided that i should
get one so i did and so far it has gotten me out of about six speed traps i thinik it already paid for itself if your in the market to buy one and dont have money lying around everywhere you should not overlook this one no complaints it does what its made to do detect speed traps im getting one for all my vehicles
I would recommend this to a friend!
