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
