Unfortunately, it isn't possible to rate ZERO for value on this rating scale. Would I recommend this item to a friend? Only if I wanted to end the friendship.
I purchased this product because I read a lot of positive reviews and because of the brand name (and unfortunately ignored the negative posts). But if you have problems, watch out, as I was disappointed with my experience. I drove right past radars and the thing didn't even make the slightest chirp. I then encountered a customer service rep who wasn't interested in helping whatsoever. Perhaps others' experiences may be better, but at least be aware that a risk exists that you are going to be left with fancy looking piece of plastic that cost you several hundred dollars. If you feel lucky, go ahead and give it a try; but if you feel lucky, maybe you don't need a radar detector anyway.
What's great about it: Not sure if anything is good -- mine never worked properly.
What's not so great: Customer Service
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good detector. Actually it works great however it just is not as informative as the V1 so I returned it and got a V1 instead.
What's great about it: Quiet
What's not so great: Not as informative
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this Escort850 after owning an older escort a few years ago and never had a complaint.
I decided its first test was to be on our drive from central michigan to indianapolis for the indy500, 250 mile 3 hour trip.
Not even 1 hour into the drive I was surprised by seeing a michigan state cop hiding behind a bridge with radar gun out and the Escort only beeped a very dim warning signal, thankfully i wasnt speeding so I brushed off the warning.
A few minor warnings went off before arriving into indianapolis but they were usually weak and it also failed to warn me of another cop car.
the worst part of it all was on our way back I saw cop lights on my rear view mirror about half a mile back, i never though he was coming for me but as the cop car got closer.... YUP! pulled me over and he had clocked me at 87 on a 70mph zone, gave me a long talk and let me off with a warning, WHERE DID HE COME FROM?!! I DID NOT SEE HIM VISUALLY AND THE ESCORT850 NEVER WARNED ME!
about an hour and a half later, I was in a pack of speeding cars when we saw a cop car going the opposite way on the highway, we didnt think much of it until a mile after there were 3 cop cars ambushing us and signaling us to pull over, thankfully there were about 6 speeding cars and 3 cop cars, some cars pulled over and some didnt.... I DIDNT and i was FURIOUS at the fact that my $300 dollar Escort radar detector was officially USELESS.
I RETURNED IT AS SOON AS I GOT BACK AND I AM PURCHASING A VALENTINE 1 FOR MY ROAD TRIP FROM MICHIGAN TO TEXAS IN 2 WEEKS ! (its only $100 more than this one)
BEWARE OF THIS POOR RADAR DETECTOR !
What's great about it: NOTHING
What's not so great: EXTREMELY MISERABLE PERFORMANCE
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this when it cost a lot more,but,it's saved me far more than I paid in a long run.
Not sure about your area,but where I live you can't go anywhere withoput running into radar,it's easy money for the state,town,ect.
For the cost of a ticket,not to mention the points,I'm glad I bought it.
I googled radar detectors before buying&this was among the best reviews,once owning it,you'll know why.

What's great about it: Works as it states
What's not so great: nothing
