Overall Unsatisfied

"Simply driving by too many cops without getting a signal. Maybe they aren't using radar and its laser usage, but 4/5 cops I pass I get no signal. Makes it pretty useless in my area...." Read Full Review »

"It was the cheapest detector on the top ten list, [$]. It works well enough but seems to have that cheap, lightweight feel to it. While it does give a lot of low, powered false alarms, it still goes off when its the real thing. While there may be better units on the market, this one works well enou …"  Read Full Review »

"After reading most the reviews regarding this device I had thought that I had made the wrong choice. After using the product, going down the freeway around 120-130 and not getting caught is really nice.

"I'm impressed with my new 9540. Just got it yesterday and was easy to understand what it can do. Route I drive used to pick all sorts of false alarms with my old unit. Today I got only 2 alerts, a State Trooper passing the other direction and an ambulance on a run. Great value for the money. "
