Summary: Escort Passport 8500
Comment: I bought this radar detector about a month ago and I've been completely satisfied by how its worked. It seems to be the best detector for the price when I researched them and I feel like I got my money's worth. Its easy to learn how to use it. It's sensitive but not overly sensitive and I'm pretty sure its saved me from a ticket at least once already.

Summary: Police catcher
Comment: So far 3 tickets the police will write someone else I drive a Bently and their always looking at me even if I'm not speeding this car has lots of power so it's easy to forget what's the speed limit special on the open roads of FL. the Escort 8500 x50 has not let me down yet it's worth every penny I'm very rich and rich people pays very close attention to their investments with that said this would be a better buy forget the blue one alls the same I got the red because it matches my console .

Summary: Won't last
Comment: Well after a year or so, especially if it's exposed to any kind of heat, the capacitors wear out and you're gonna start to get a slew of "false laser" alerts. The customer service folks will politely explain that you can send it back for $60 and hope they will fix it ... :-(

Summary: Great Detector
Comment: I've had this detector one month now and very impressed with it. The first thing that I noticed was how many fewer falses that I get than compared to the Whistler Pro 78 or Bel V955 which I have used. I do mostly city driving with it and usually get about a half to one mile warning. It costs a lot more but you get what you pay for in radar detectors. One thing to remember laser is deadly. No detector will give you enough if any warning time from a laser gun.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Comment: I have been using it on and off for the last month or so. It works great, I have had very little false alarms, I recommend it to every passionate driver.
