    • It’s works!!!
Style: Rad 700i Pattern Name: Radar Detector
My wife gifted me a cobra 350 for Christmas. It was just ok. Had a bad pickup range. I decided to buy this cobra 700i and I can tell you this unit is 100 times better. I am able to pick up signals around the Bends of the road and over the horizon so to speak. Worth every penny more in cost.

    • 5-Stars! But....
Style: Rad 480i Pattern Name: Radar Detector
... these 5 stars are for the detector alone at under $150! DO NOT download and sign up for the app! 1. It doesn't work well. I had to turn off my smart watch as it got stuck in a loop with notifications. 2. They'll bombard your email with junk emails! The detector works great! I got it for a spare car and am comparing it to my 4 times more expensive Escort. Pros: Few falses and very modest alerts (voice) on K and X band. More assertive with alarm and voice on Ka and there was cops so it WORKS! Display is clear and bright enough in daylight. Functions are clear enough but you may wanna download a full manual. Cons: Mounting is okay. Feels secure but not Escort nice. Cord is just that, a cord. Long enough for any cigarette lighter plug-in but has no buttons. If you wanna mute an alert you need to reach the mute button on the detector. Closest to you but still far away, especially in a truck or SUV etc. But overall a 5 STAR $150 detector! Does all the Escort do for me (I just hang it and expect it to point out police radars in the vicinity. ) I actually like Cobra alerts better as they're not in your face like Escort. I recommend this product but don't download the app and expect to actually use the buttons on the detector (if you need to, I set mine up and now don't touch it other than the occasional mute when a cop is close for a long time.) ... show more

    • Works well

Got this as a gift for my boyfriend and it has been working well so far. It has been accurate and easy to install. Would recommend for the price.

    • Its paid for itself.
Style: Rad 480i Pattern Name: Radar Detector
Works very well, its most likely helped avoid traffic stops. It works as a great reminder to drive carefully. The sound can be annoying but over time you can condition yourself to know what the numbers are without really looking. Theres essentially 4 different readings you can get. 1. Range of 10 Hz which is typically signs or radars from non police use. 2. Range of ~24 Hz which is signs on the road that tell you your speed, other forms of radar (I have suspicions that police may use this frequency) 3. Range of ~34-36 Hz which has always been cops in my experience. 4. “Laser” will show up on the display which means a direct laser (typically from cops) is hitting near or on your vehicle. Its a great tool, dont use it to speed! ... show more

    • NICE!
Style: Rad 700i Pattern Name: Radar Detector
This detector is one of the better ones I've had. I just had it hard wired in to my Challenger. It seems to warn you far ahead of the danger and I'm finding stop light camera's where I never knew they were before. For my taste the warnings repeat too much and seem incessant at times. Other than that minor irritation this is well made and comes with a very nice mount. ... show more

Style: Rad 480i Pattern Name: Radar Detector
Had one in my other car for a year or two. Got this one for the second car. If you don't want to hear it go off all the time. Set it to your phone or lower sensitivity. But all in all worth the money.

    • Spend the extra money to get something from uniden
Style: Rad 480i Pattern Name: Radar Detector
Bought this as a first detector to save some cash and it was popular with good reviews. I have used it quite a bit and it does work to pick up radar and can have a decent range. The problem is it also picked up every other little thing in existence. I have a 30 minute drive to college every day and I usually get 3-4 false alerts in that time. If you need to stop speeding then this will definitely help you do that by constantly making you think a cop is around. There are much better detectors out there that aren’t horribly expensive. Check out Vortex Radar on YouTube or on their online blog. That guy knows what he’s talking about and will have a good recommendation for you. ... show more

    • Does not work well at all
Style: Rad 480i Pattern Name: Radar Detector
I bought this in hopes it would help to identify a police radar coming up to ensure I am not speeding. However, this thing does not even work!! It identifies every red light but misses almost every cop, and I know they have their radar on because last week two people got pulled over right next to me and it never went off. Occasionally it will go off when I am about 20 feet away from the cop, but at that point it is too late and overall useless. I have literally drove by a cop, who has their radar up and pointed, and it does not make a peep. Altogether, I regret spending almost $150 on this for it to not work as intended. It's past my return date, so I am SOL and irritated!!! I am really disappointed bc this had promising reviews. I have had this product for over a year, and it has always worked this way. ... show more
