it keeps me from getting tickets.

"I've had this radar detector for 10 months, and I love it. I've never had a problem with the display going bad, and I've dropped it in my driveway innumerable times. So it's at least more durable than my cell phone. The only thing that I have a problem with is the range for detecting lasers. It didn't go off until I could already see the cop in the median.

Very laggy, don't buy it.

"Bought this for the safety alert feature. After tons of driving and testing I've determined this unit is junk. For all those that believe this thing saves you, consider this... My friend who is a police officer pulled out his K band radar, a Laser gun and his trusty roof-top opticom emitter and we ran our own tests. The K takes 2 seconds after emitting to be picked up. From 200ft away the signal level is 1/5, an..." Read Full Review »

"I've had this model probably about a year. After six months it stopped alerting and false alarming. Nothing, Nata. I sent it back to Cobra and they sent me back a brand new one. Six months down the road, guess what? It false alarms, but does not go off when a police radar is in use. I verified this …" Read Full Review »

"Cobra has a bad practice of adding features but not improving the detector itself. By next year, I am sure Cobra will have a detector that makes you a Slurpee while you drive. But chances are underneath it all it will have poor detection sensitivity like always. Buy a detector because it works, n …" Read Full Review »
