What's great about it: LED lights on top for visual reference
What's not so great: Function buttons should be raised. Hard to find in the dark.
Paid for itself the first week. The function buttons need to be raised so you can find them easier in the dark.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Has some neat features
What's not so great: Constant false alarms
Bought this to replace my Escort that died after 18 years. Liked the features, compass, battery charging meter, easy to change settings. Just couldn't put up with the constant false alarms. I drive 140 miles a day on the Interstate and many areas where my Escort was quiet this one was going off like the 4th of July. Thanks to Best Buy's generous return policy I returned it and purchased the Beltronics V-8 which I am quite safisfied with
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: The looks, range, accuracy, and description about what it is picking up.
I decided I needed to get a radar detector about a year after I got pulled over and received a 300 dollar ticket. After doing some extensive research on radar detectors, I decided to go with this one. Its a great price compared to the other radar detectors. Not only does it look good, but it preforms great. It gets your attention with two blue LED light on top, and a voice command. It also tells you what exactly it is picking up on the beautiful LED display, whether its a simple x band, k band, ka band, or laser, so you know exactly what it is. The 4 filter choices, and digital compass are quite nice too. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good valued radar detector.
Anyway, my detector came at night so I was unable to use it as soon as I got it. But sure enough 12 hours later, it payed for itself. The next morning after I got it, I was going a good 10 over on a long stretch of open highway, early morning on a foggy day. The next thing I know my radar detector starts going off, it actually scared me because I wasn't use to it, so I slowed down and pulled into the right lane. Sure enough about 500 yards after it went off I seea cop car sitting in the median clocking people. If I did not have the detector I would have easily gotten a 150 dollar ticket. I was so happy that I got this detector!
I would recommend this to a friend!

690 SE

What's great about it: radar reception
The 69o SE is the same "platform" as the Pro 78 folks with a few less features and therefore should be as excellent at receiving radar warnings as that one is.
I would recommend this to a friend!
