5 out of 5 stars great value   August 12, 2008

This dectector is a great value, sensistivity is better than my escort I use in my other car, blue light provides good alert in both day and night time lighting conditions, warning tone is good too. Very good shipment turnaround by Amazon and very competitive market price. Windshield mount works fine on my new corvette and the thin wire enables me to run a simple wire up the dash hugging and concealing the wire most of the way up the dash in a small seam in the dashboard. Recommend this as a best buy! Have taken some nice weekend trips with good alert response in both highway and local settings.

It has been years since I experienced a detector and I was pleasantly surprised at the difference. I keep it on Highway most of the time and get very little interference from banks, ATM machines, etc. I am glad I made the purchase.

This is a great product, reads the signals from a very long distance, the only thing is that is silver on top, so the light reflects a lot, need to place it under rearview mirror.

Okay, I bought this laser detector for 118.00 in May 08. I expected a higher quality device and more accurate. I liked the fact that it had an LCD screen, a digital compass, and was audible. Within 2 days I was very dissatisfied with it. You can't see the "bright lcd" screen during the day even on the brightest setting. No matter how many times I would calibrate the compass it would get "stuck" on west. Also sometimes it simply wouldn't do anything when passing by a cop with radar. Sometimes it would inform me when I was already past the radar/laser which was really dumb. And worst of all, The device says L-A-S-E-R really loud and flashes ultra bright led lights on the top like a strobe and makes a really annoying noise. Which is not all that bad when you've got a cop with a laser gun pointed at traffic, but my detector used to randomly (once or twice a week) give false laser readings. I found that it worked NO better than a 39.99 unit my sister bought for me for my birthday from wal-mart years ago. Oh and one more problem, and the main reason I RETURNED this product for a full money-back refund: The clip that attaches to the suction cups on the windshield is very very cheap, after 1.5 weeks it no longer clicked and would consistently go flying off the dash while I was driving, so basically the cheap thing broke after a week and a half. By then I was fed up with this thing and I shoved it in a box and mailed her back! Good Riddance! Its pretty big too compared to other detectors you'll find. This product IS NOT recommended!
