Best price anywhere. Unit shipped quickly and arrived on time. Would recommend to all. Made great birthday gift for my son.

For a wireless radar and laser detector, this fits the bill -- I hate wires and cords. What I don't understand is why don't they add a solar panel and rechargeable batteries? The unit is always in the sun (during the day at least!) -- and then you'd never have to worry about dead batteries.

I purchased this earlier this year expecting to use it on a 400 mile drive to vegas. The radar arrived two days late and so I had so make the drive literally solo. Since then I have been using it everyday and realize that speed traps today are just not as common. The one time getting off the freeway I did almost fall into a trap, the Solo came through and gave me a different sounding strong warning. This ticket saved purchased my Escort solo but honestly unless you live around a lot of traps just slow down, save gas and then maybe we can get fuel prices back down under 1 buck.

If you feel that all you need is aboout 1/4 mile or less notice of radar traps, and you just cant deal with a corded model, then this is for you Granny. If you have a heavy foot and must own an Escort, get the 8500 corded unit. Myself, I'm moving to Valentine as I have no confidence in Escort's pititul technology anymore. 1 Bail Bond
