Pros Phenomenal detection range, very clear alarms
Cons coiled cord is a bit annoying
Recommended it? Yes

I've been driving with radar detectors since 1984, when I bought my first SuperFox Vixen II. since then, I've owned detectors by Uniden, Cobra ("Be Careful! Slow Down!"), Whistler, and Cincinnati Microwave (Escort/passport). My last detector was an Escort Solo 4, and when that one finally gave up... Read full review »

Cons Questionable for different users
Recommended it? Yes

The New 900 series Top of the Line Class(excluding 945, 946), offers strong detection in today's world of traffic radar. The newer design is strong, heavier, better detection (then the older 855sti), and BRIGHTER text.

The Bel 950 comes with Visor mount, windshield mount, velcro,and... Read full review »

First off I want to tell you a story that actually happened to me. I had always wanted a radar detector for a long time but just never bought one because I didnt want to spend the money.

Pros Sensitivity, Volume, Text Display, Features, Price, Upgradeable
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I first decided that I wanted a radar detector after I got a speeding ticket for going 50 mph in a 25 mph zone at 12:30 at night. So after getting two points on my license and paying a $150 fine (I went to court and got the ticket lowered to 39 mph in a 25 mph zone). I am 17 years old living in NJ,... Read full review »

Speed and Get Away with it (Most of the Time)

Pros Many good features (loud, dim feature, looks cool)
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

It was a cold and dark night. A low thick fog obscured the road bed as I made my way home. It was almost like driving on a storm cloud. For some reason I felt compelled to drive fast. I found my foot leaning inward on the pedal. 60...70...80...95...I thought I had nothing to worry about. After all... Read full review »

Pros Easy adjustable volume, has up to 60 tones
Cons It's almost $300 dollars
Recommended it? Yes

I have got 32 tickets. Yes I said 32. The Judge told me I couldn't get a ticket in 4 months or my License would be suspended for 6 months. So you guessed it I Invested in a "BEL 950". Its been 3 months and I haven't had a problem with tickets since. The "BEL 950" makes hardly any noise at all. It... Read full review »

Pros Great Range, K &KA detection, size, display, warnings are loud, reliable, works great
Cons False on x band, cant switch it off, and no pointer to show radar direction
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this detector to accompany me on my many miles around Nevada and Lake Tahoe. If anyone has driven around here CHP OR NHP really like to crack down on tourist speeding; snowing or not.

Nevada tends to use KA and often leave the radar on all the time. CHP tends to use K band and... Read full review »

Bel vs. Escort - I don't think so

Pros Good range
Cons Complicated windshield mount, annoying tones, and hard to navigate program options
Recommended it? No

Bel and Escort have been arch rivals for decades. Now it appears that they are the same company somehow. In any event, I have owned both and find that the Passport 8500 is easier to use, has minimum false alarms, and doesn't drive you crazy with chirps and dings.

Passport has an easy to... Read full review »
