First off, I am not generally a speeder. If you are a speed demon looking for the best protection, this review is likely not for you. So why did I buy a radar detector? Mainly for the accidental encroachment of speeding. Cruising down the highway on cruise control and start down a hill which turns out to be a bit too steep for the engine braking to hold back the car. Not paying enough attention, soon you find yourself 5-10 mph over the limit. Not enough to be dangerous but enough to get a ticket. A little beep of the detector is a reminder to check your speed.
Beyond that, it's a fun little thing to have. It's interesting to see the way radar plays a much bigger role in the world than I ever knew. Even stoplights are using radar to help decide when to change. So basically it helps me focus on my driving when my mind might otherwise wander and it helps entertain me when boredom might otherwise take its toll.
Well worth the $200 on sale that I bought it for.

The one thing I don't care for is having to mount it to my windshield. I realize that for effective coverage it needs a good view of the road all around you, and I don't generally have a passenger so I stick it over on that side, but windshield mounts are always a bother and usually somewhat in the way.

My Best Buy number: 0399334427

What's great about it: Set it and forget it.

What's not so great: Never have liked to mount things to my windshield.

I would recommend this to a friend!
