Valentine 1
click my www for pix of my hardwired unit

 

V1 or Passport 8500x50 are the only ones I'd spend money on... I own the 8500, and it works flawlessly, and has awesome range... Always alerts with plenty of time to brake....

 

thanks for useful replies

 

valintine 1 or any escort detector

 

eat my copy pasting abilities from a similar thread (said by me, so no qualms possible

'i've read more than my fair share of reviews and test data, and the 3 "normal" radar detectors that own everybody else are the valentine 1, the escort 8500, and whatever the top of the line BEL is, i forget. in a different league, there's the K40 undetectable system. K40 is the brand that will pay for your tickets for a full year, and the deal still stands. they have a "normal" radar detector that still has the 1 year warranty, but it's not as good as the other 3 i mentioned. however, their undetectable system is rated even better than those 3 (as it should considering it retails for $1200), and they also have a perfectly legal laser diffuser system (retail $300), both of which come with that same 1 year warranty.
even if you don't want one, check out their website sometime, http://www.k40.com

and now a shameless plug , i have the k40 2000P undetectable system (front and rear) as well as the laser diffuser plus system for sale, and it'll be in the classifieds section like 5 minutes from now for $600

i recently bought a Valentine in December and I love it. It's way better then the old Passport one i had before. I like how it tells you from which direction the radar is coming from and how close it is to you. And it also can tell you how many radars it's picking up also. It's the best one on the market right now. Well, worth the price. I forgot how much I bough it for but, it's around $400-500 I believe.
