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.

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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great detector with a crappy power cord
Comment: The smart cord needs replacing about every year because it always shorts out near the modular plug. I bought a different detector just so I won't have to keep on paying Escort for more cords.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Defective & overpriced
Comment: I got a 8500 x50 blue in 2006. First one was defective.... it kept showing "Service Required" messages. The replacement just died in July 2008 -- it won't turn on. It seems to have this trouble on/off for some time but a simple unplug/plug would fix it. Not this time. I read it seems 2006 was a bad year for Escort. My prior Bel's were just as good and lasted many years.Also the clip for visor it too tight and the rear sensor is blocked by the cushion visor
