Rarely does this thing false. Works like a charm. 2 saves in just one month. It would be nice if there were spare suction cups included, as they always go bad.
What's great about it: Accurate, easy to configure
What's not so great: Heavy, can rattle against windshield
I would recommend this to a friend!

I always seem to be in a hurry to get places and usually find myself speeding. This item helps me to be aware of my surroundings and know when I need to slow down a little bit. Near electric doors the radar seems to go off and I have learned that x bands are usually not cops. Very easy to set up, a little pricey, but accurate. The only problem I have experienced is that the radar will go off a little late sometimes. Otherwise, good product.
What's great about it: Accurate and easy set up
What's not so great: price and sometimes lags
I would recommend this to a friend!

When I went to look at radar detectors, I wanted to get something that was good quality but still at a good price range. I personally feel this is all the radar detector anyone would need as it has great range, picks up on every cop I've seen, and overall just works really well right out of the box. Would def recommend this product as the best bang for your buck.

I found this radar to work well as we traveled coast to coast recently. The only problem was with the Laser detection alert. It would go off with the bright sunlight. At some points, we had to turn it off. It did a great job detecting various radar bands,

I have owned this radar detector for a few years, best you can get. I owned others and they did not give the warning nearly as quick. I have on highway picked up radar at over two miles. The multiple modes allow you to customize it for your desire. Dims and blacks out for audio only mode. The mute on the cord is great. Very useful, but at times it may pick up too much. I had a problem using in certain vehicles causing the alert to go off every thirty seconds, but it seemed to be only certain vehicles. Dont leave it in the car during extreme heat. I always put it under the seat for protection but the heat caused it to malunction. I like the mount adjusts to right angle. Overall highly recomended. Just dont leave it in hot vehicle.
What's great about it: plenty of warning time, multiple modes
What's not so great: sometimes over sensitive, too much heat will damage
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got the 8500 as could not justify the 9500 with GPS capability as the only real difference. Plus the 8500 and Valentine 1 have been neck and neck for years as TOP PERFORMER with Escort edging it out this past year or so with long distance sensitivity while Valentine 1 had slightly less false hits...I will take the longer detection range on hwy any day.
The Escort also has a nifty windshield mount setup that allows you to adjust angle internally rather than having to bend your suction mount. The programming functions are great so I could totally block any Xband signals but turn on safety and lidar.
Also purchased the hardwire kit and then went to Autozone and got a mini fuze add a circuit....$8 that allows me to plug it into my fuse panel rather than tapping into a wire in the vehicle harness. This prevents there being any warranty issues and also gives a much cleaner fit and finish on a switched fuse. I used the homelink fuse spot (BMW) with a 5amp fuse...ran wires up through A-pillar and headliner....then put the remote MUTE button and display down on left side of ashtray.
Very clean install and no worries on having to cut wires.
Great buy!
What's great about it: Very sensitive, programmable, great filtering for erroneous hits
What's not so great: Wish it had auto mute feature
I would recommend this to a friend!
