Good Mid Level Radar Detector
on January 7, 2014
Posted by: dBryan

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good mid level radar detector.
Everything about it screams quality, including the camera case, the provided cigarette lighter plug and the unit itself. Unfortunately for the money you spend, the suction cups literally and figuratively SUCK!
Look into a sun visor clip or a permanent 3M taped mount. I don't recommend "Blendmount" because all that does is put the radar detector right in the way.
This is a good alternative to the Escort 9500. You could add the Smart Live plug for $100 extra on the Escort 8500 (and save $200) and get the same functionality as the Escort 9500

What's great about it: Ease of Setup, Options for Hardwiring
What's not so great: I had to buy a different mounting option as suction cups suck! :D
I would recommend this to a friend!

Is this the newest model?

The 8500 x50 Black? Waiting to order but do not want the silver.
The model I received in December 2013 was all black.
