    Customers like the performance of the radar detector. They say it works well, has good results, and has limited false alarms. It works well on the windshield and is great for detecting rolling radar. It's also good for spotting on the highways and on the roads, and the electronics seem better than their old one.

    153 customers mention113 positive40 negative

    Customers like the false alarm rate of the radar detector. They say it has a lot less false alarms, blocks just about every single false alarm, and is unbelievable at alerting them to cops. Some mention that it has zero alerts to collision avoidance radar from newer model vehicles. The mute button will mut the false signal until you are out of range.

    "...I have so far never had a false reading in town unless I had the sensitivity on high...." Read more

    "...Its sensitivity is just right and can be adjusted, it has saved me plenty of times and its value surpassed tenfold at least by the amount of times I..." Read more

    "...Range is excellentFiltering false alarms is unbelievable.Volume is goodLack of voice alert sort of sucks...." Read more

    "...VERY, VERY please with this unit and the accuracy it has so far demonstrated...." Read more

    59 customers mention30 positive29 negative

    "...I have only had 3 true alerts so far, and the range was exceptional on 2 of the 3...." Read more

    "...The range seems to be fairly short. You'd really have to be on top of your game in order to keep yourself out of the danger zone...." Read more

    "...Range is excellentFiltering false alarms is unbelievable.Volume is goodLack of voice alert sort of sucks...." Read more

    "...It works now; seemingly all of a sudden. But it is not long range. It's been picking up speed detector signs and police radar...." Read more

    56 customers mention24 positive32 negative

    Customers are mixed about the noise of the radar detector. Some mention that the sound is not too irritating, the volume is nice, and it stays quiet when the police are around. However, others say that the noise is not that loud, mediocre at best, and that the Ka sound isn't nearly as attention grabbing as the K/X band sounds.

    "...The first few days I thought this detector was broken, it was so quiet I was sure I had gotten a dud...." Read more

    "...This COBRA beeps when the police are around and stays quiet when they're not. It also picks up the "your speed" signs...." Read more

    "I like everything except it's not loud enough" Read more

    "...I love that it can be muted to filter out common frequencies that aren't police radars, and has audible alerts. It's very sleek and works well...." Read more

    This was my first radar detector and will be my only for quite awhile and bought May 2018. I drive an FJ Cruiser and only go average 10+ over driving in places like Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida on highways, interstates, and back roads. I also take it with me when I travelGOOD:Range - very long and has saved me many times from not seeing cops behind hills and whatnot while still being able to read other drivers' reactions near hillsAlerts - I leave it on the highest sensitivity and only get a few random alerts - after driving with it for awhile I can pick out what is real and what is false based on the strength and type of signal its receiving. It does not sense other signals from cars like blind spot, nor does it give out any signal to police indicating you have a radar detector.Value/Dependability - I guarantee I would have been stopped at least 10 times with cops wasting time and money by sitting in medians and behind hills and such but this thing alerted me very quickly and allowed me enough time to determine if its false and slow down accordingly. This is one of the best $120 I spent on an accessory for driving besides a dash cam which I have written a review on too (Garmin 55).Usability - I use it every time my trip is longer than 20 min and goes through roads I'm unfamiliar with. It has sat in my truck basically since I bought it in the sun with temps ranging from 110 to 0F and starts up every time I turn it on and only shuts off if the truck's battery voltage drops below some threshold. The screen is very bright but goes into a dimmed mode after a few minutes of detecting a signal.Wiring/Mounting - I bought the hard-wiring kit and add-a-fuse and also a custom switch so I can turn it on with the push of a switch without having to reach and turn the dial switch on the detector. I also velcro'd it to the top of my instrument panel as shown in the picture because the suction cup kept coming off in the heat, it was easier to see on top of the instruments, and it was more stealthy for police to have less of a reason to pull me over since i don't use the suction cups. I have left the dial at the 6 on-volume position ever since I hardwired a switch.Noise - the noises of each band are to me pretty distinct and able to be remembered after awhile of using it. I discovered the laser feature only once when driving on a Florida highway and it does sound like a retro laser, but have not heard it again since luckily.BAD:I literally cannot think of any bad thing besides the fact it uses a 12 volt dvd player style power connector instead of mini usb or a more common connector.It does have a micro usb connection on the side which I just remembered and have not figured out what reason it could possibly need to connect to a computer for.Overall, I love this radar detector. Its sensitivity is just right and can be adjusted, it has saved me plenty of times and its value surpassed tenfold at least by the amount of times I could've gotten in trouble. Very easy to wire and mount if you know what you're doing. Great first radar detector.
