YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

"FOR ALL YOU SPEEDERS!!! I am 22 years old and this MESSAGE is for all the negative comments on here. First off I agree with the saying: "it's a radar detector, NOT a cop detector." It'll ONLY go off when the cops pull that trigger or even have it on standby mode with some of the "lasers/radar signal" leaking out. Educate yourself on radar guns before you leave a dumb comment/review on here. You're just ..." Read Full Review »

Save money for a better unit

"This was the first detector I bought after driving without one for about 5 years. It is a weak little unit. Like one reviewer said, any radar detector will give false alerts-true. Also, cops don't always run radar so don't expect a signal everytime you pass a cop-true. Finally, yes, cops don't necessarily leave their units on while running radar traps. They can flip it on and off, leaving it undetectable un..." Read Full Review »

"Oh come on!

" a cop drove past me and it didn't work ". No wonder we're the laughing stock on BBC's Top Gear. A cop needs to have the detector ON so out gadget can work....It's a RADAR detector, not a COP detector. Wankers! "

"I've had no problems from this detector. Although you do have to be careful for when officers decide to hide and spring radar on you as you pass.

Use common sense and you will have an enjoyable experience. Slow down at obvious places. "Dense brush" Keep it under 65. I don't believe any rada …" Read Full Review »
