  2. DanielN

    Has 100% saved me from a few tickets. Definitely recommend for a starter radar detector

  3. Cherry44

    I wasn’t too impressed with it. It stopped working after about a year. I turned it on my warranty through the store.

  4. Beatsup

    Excellent experience will go back and sop for more items

  5. JohnM

    Works as described very reliable, I use it for every road trip I go on

  6. Amado

    one of the best radars I have ever had, nothing bought from its younger brother the 450i

  7. verypleased

    Works really well. Very useful. I use it in all my vehicles

  8. Eric

    It works well never knew there were this many cops in my city

  9. John

    Goes a pretty decent job at detecting Radar. Though there are sometimes where it goes off for no reason.

  10. TomG

    Very easy to install and use. Good for the price. Very happy with the product.

  11. Kevo

    All my friends (including me) have one of these and they work perfectly everytime

  12. GeraldvB

    My second Cobra and very dependable. It reminds me to monitor my speed.

  13. BradFNP

    This product does really well except for it picks up a lot of false signals. The signals probably come from the new technology on cars with proximity detectors/sensors.

  14. cat478

    Great Protection against the Barney Fife’s I have to deal with on a regular basis! Should have gotten one sooner! I can tell you from experience this is less costly than a speeding ticket!

  15. Sbcat777

    I gave it 5 stars even though I bought this for someone else, they absolutely love it.

  16. Sanel

    Its a great radar, but when passing hondaa, K band goes off. Probably for the blind spot assist.

  17. BrendaH

    Hreat item for the money. I appreciate Best Buy and the customer servise

  18. Bertuchi

    This radar detector has some false alarms but has definitely saved me from WELL over $150 worth of speeding tickets and possible license suspension.

  19. VictorM

    Has saved me a lot of times, can be pretty annoying in the city, but essential on the highway

  20. IvanA

    Best product ever its so accurate i love it. BESTS

  21. ElmerS

    Decently good, can detect KA bands from up to a mile away saved me from a hefty ticket

  22. MichaelG

    It’s good, but it picks up up a lot of store radio frequencies but it has saved me a couple of times on the highway

  23. Meowmeow23

    Not really the greatest, didnt work half the time when i used it, i even got arrested because i was going 120 down the freeway and it didnt detect the cop, maybe i should have plugged it in. Dont really recommend

  24. DougM

    Best Radar detector I ever owned dose so much and talks to you saved me from getting a lot of tickets…

  25. JamesB

    I’ve only had this a few weeks, but I will give my honest review.

    There are plenty of what seems to be false alerts, mostly K and X bands. I’ve never seen a police car when those bands hit. Usually X band seems to hit around department and grocery stores.

    KA band seems to be the most common for police, based on just a few weeks of using this. Every time I’ve seen a police car, it’s been the KA band.

    I’ve not been hit with Laser yet, so I can’t say anything about that.

    Seems to be great on the interstate and highways, but not so great for congested areas, that’s where most false alerts seem to come from.

    Overall, I’m happy with my purchase, and I would recommend this product.

  26. HaomingL

    This radar is the best budget radar I ever had. I have beater car that I dont want to move my expensive radar detector into so I bought this and this could compare to my $600 radar detector.

  27. DebbieB

    No problems. I didn’t download the app, but you might enjoy it. .

  28. Shurjith

    Have it for 2 of my cars For 3 years now, and recommended to 2 other friends. Absolutely perfect product for the price.

    Takes a learning curve to fully realize its potential but once you’re there, you won’t need more.

  29. Yoel

    This is the first one I have owned and for me it works well . Definitely would recommend

  30. SamiraR

    Since I travel a lot, I thought it would be to my advantage to invest in a really good radar detector. Sometimes you don’t realize you are driving over the speed limit especially if its a beautiful day and you’re enjoying some great music or listening to a good audio book. I’ve purchased radar detectors before however, this by far has been one of my better purchases.

  31. NicholasC

    Really good range. The app that you can download is awesome

  32. StevenK

    Love the auto muting feature for false alarms. Easy to set up and not much of a learning curve.

  33. Unknown

    Alerts most of the time but i have driven past cops a couple times and it doesnt go off but for the price it is worth it

  34. Taiterdgolf

    Wish it had a mute button closer to me it’s only a meat button at the top of the actual radar detector.
    Pretty good scanner 4 the price compared 2 others

  35. ElshaquanH

    Great works like a boss im deff gonna another one wen this one quits

  36. RonnieB

    Bought this as a gift so i cant write a review on this item

  37. Angel

    Great Investment and works great I recommend this for anyone who doesn’t want to get pulled over for speeding or not knowing your speed limit.

  38. JenifferA

    Didnt like it needs more detection available to detect more far away

  39. WayneH

    Very sensitive and accurate, good buy from a great store.

  40. TonyH

    Unit seems to work on par for what you spend on this device. The suction cups leave something to be desired. I’ve noticed that overall range is not that great – didn’t really stand up in much of the side by side detector reviews – but for the price, not too bad…

  41. EduardoZ

    False Signals Sometimes Great And Amazing Quality.

  42. BrianH

    The volume level was way too low (even when turned up all the way) – I could not hear the alerts and I exchanged it for an Escort MAX 3.

  43. JodiF

    Perfect for first time user!! No need to spend top dollar on a detector!

  44. ChristianG

    Works great I was not expecting that its worth it

  45. DerkG

    Love it, easy to plug in and durable. Very accurate.

  46. Drakew013

    great for the price. it is easy to use. fast and never fails.

  47. Fitter

    Works as described. Can’t go wrong with a little extra security.

  48. chair

    Works great. It was easy to install. I like it very much

  49. HappyShopper

    This item was purchased as a gift, great price and quality.

  50. Official

    Works great for me. Once you have the correct bands on you’re good.
