This product looks much better in person than it does in the photos. The screen does have a slight retro or older vibe to it, but is very clear to read and works well. The speakers are loud enough and crisp, no complaints from the few minutes of testing during install in my vehicle. The radar detector itself has a very premium feel, does not have any visible signs of being a more budget friendly detector (no this unit is not cheap, but compared to a $700+ v1 or passport, this is very budget friendly). My initial impression is all 5 stars! I will come back and update if it does not perform well, but I am expecting good things from my initial impressions.
10/10 would buy again
As a device with an OLED display it suffers from serious burn-in. Functionality is not affected but the effect is definitely noticeable if left connected to a constant-on power source. Certain cloudy weather conditions can and will trigger false laser alerts if enabled. The detector does not draw enough power to drain a car battery if left on for several days but does not have a low-voltage shutoff and will drain a battery after several weeks.
Overall I'm very satisfied for the price I paid. Will definitely keep using until it fails or becomes obsolete.
