    Exclamation Best radar detectors.

    I'm leaning toward Valentine 1 - primarily because it shows WHERE signal is coming from. Any reason I should not get it? If not - then what? Budget is $400.

    Only two real players out there. Valentine and Escort. I have an old Escort 8500 x50 for 8 years now and still going strong. Has saved me over 100 times from getting pulled over for speeding. *knock on wood

    My wife and I both have passport 9500ix units and they are super accurate and reliable. Worth every penny!

    I really need to get one. My license just got suspended because of 3 outstanding tickets. Funny thing is I paid 2 off and got the 3 right after. 4 of the total 5 were speeding tickets the other was for my tail lights being tinted and I wasn't even the one driving lol. I drive back and forth to California 2 times a month 850 miles round trip done twice (drive to ca the back home for a week then drive to California then back home) it's a long stretch of highway with cops all over.

    Valentine and Escort are the best. Valentine shows where the signal is coming from, but IMO it has it more false alarms than Escort

    Re: Best radar detectors.

    It comes down to personal preference. I've seen pages upon pages where it's almost split between the valentine and escort. The escort has more cool features but valentine is tried and true. You can't go wrong with either. I vote escort
