The problem with this unit is not the radar detector itself, which is adequate but not spectacular, but the windshield mount, which is just about useless and very frustrating. I’ve had it fall down 20 or more times during an hour. Look for something else.

Best price anywhere. Unit shipped quickly and arrived on time. Would recommend to all. Made great birthday gift for my son.

For a wireless radar and laser detector, this fits the bill — I hate wires and cords. What I don’t understand is why don’t they add a solar panel and rechargeable batteries? The unit is always in the sun (during the day at least!) — and then you’d never have to worry about dead batteries.

I purchased this earlier this year expecting to use it on a 400 mile drive to vegas. The radar arrived two days late and so I had so make the drive literally solo. Since then I have been using it everyday and realize that speed traps today are just not as common. The one time getting off the freeway I did almost fall into a trap, the Solo came through and gave me a different sounding strong warning. This ticket saved purchased my Escort solo but honestly unless you live around a lot of traps just slow down, save gas and then maybe we can get fuel prices back down under 1 buck.

If you feel that all you need is aboout 1/4 mile or less notice of radar traps, and you just cant deal with a corded model, then this is for you Granny. If you have a heavy foot and must own an Escort, get the 8500 corded unit. Myself, I’m moving to Valentine as I have no confidence in Escort’s pititul technology anymore. 1 Bail Bond
