I bought the Passport 8500 on sale because of Escort's reputation and the significant savings. I would not have paid list price for it as I wasn't sure the quality would justify the higher price. So far it has worked as well as my previous inexpensive Cobra, but I hate the coiled, unique power cord which is too short for my installation. I worry that it will yank the unit off the windshield and I haven't tested whether a phone cord extension will work. If it wasn't for the cord, I would have given it 4 stars. Your dashboard may have a closer power plug.

This is one of the best radar detectors on the market in my opinion. The detector gives you ample warning. It sometimes gives so much advanced warning that I start to think its a false alarm and then FINALLY, the police car comes into site. It also alerts you of emergency response vehicles that are equipped with that technology. The only negative I care to mention is the sensitiveness to store alarm systems. the same beeping everyday in the same spot on my way to and from work/class gets old rather quickly. However, it blocks out a lot of the alarm systems that past radar detectors used to pick up.
What's great about it: superb detection and advanced warning
What's not so great: still prone to false alerts in city driving
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Escort Passport is amazing!
I have had it for a year and a half now and it has not failed me since I bought it. It can detect from a great distance and even over hills and around corners. It has many customizable settings so you can set it up however you like. It is easy to use and it has probably been one of the best investments I have made in a long time!
What's great about it: Detects far, 360 Degree Detection, Customizable settings, Durable
What's not so great: None
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had Escort units for over 20 years now. (this is my 3rd). Never been without an escort. Products are extremely reliable and well built. Love the sensitivity of the unit and the configurable options (sounds, views, multiple signal viewing, etc). I have had this unit for over 6 years and love it. Don't waste your money on anything other than Escort. I have friends who have purchased other units and find they false all the time. They end up throwing them away and getting an escort. BTW, I have never had a speeding ticket in my life.
What's great about it: Great range, reliable
What's not so great: doesn't have SMS alerts like previous models
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used escort radar detectors since the 80's. I have always had great success with them. Quality has never been an issue. Speeding tickets have never been an issue. I really like their products. I also like to straight wire into my fuse box. I recommend this unit it works great with plenty of notice to slow down.
What's great about it: Works great, Picks up signals early,
What's not so great: None
I would recommend this to a friend!

I absolutely needed a radar detector desperately and I am so glad I got this one. It fits perfectly in my car down in the middle of my windshield. I love it because it's compact and it picks up cop signals ALL the time. It even picks up laser...although sometimes I don't catch it until it's too late. This radar detector has saved me from quite a few tickets. If you're like me and you have a very bad lead foot and you never go the speed limit, then I would certainly recommend a radar detector and this one is great!
