"I Wonder How The POOR PEOPLE Detect Radar?"

bydriver4t5 Dec 13, 2000
171 Helpfuls 172 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 7 Comments
Pros It's, well, cheap. X-band detection not bad.
Cons Inadequate audio/visual display, no rear radar protection, marginal K/Ka band...
Recommended it? No

Beating the cops at Radar Games leaves no margin for error. The penalty for failure is getting pulled over and very likely cited. At the risk of sounding elitist, if a person can't afford good, capable equipment, he's better off saving his money and not playing. Of course, that doesn't stop most... Read full review »

Pros basic options, the price is right
Cons No extras
Recommended it? Yes

The Cobra 9000 series radar detector is just that, a radar detector. It doesn't have all of the fancy options that many of the other higher priced radar detectors have, but it does the basic job it was created to do.

This particular radar detector has the basic options that basically every... Read full review »

Pros Price, size, sometimes helps avoid tickets
Cons Sensitivity is low, false alarms, useless Safety Alert
Recommended it? Yes

The main question I was asking myself before buying a radar detector is ?will it save me from getting a ticket?? I believe that now I have an answer.

According to ?Car And Driver? magazine, there is a large difference in performance between the best detector they tested and the worst one... Read full review »

Pros It is great if you want a ticket
Cons It does not work
Recommended it? No

I bought the Cobra 9000 a couple of weeks ago at the local Costco. I had great expectations. I took it out of the package in the Costco parking lot, stuck it to the windshield (Next to my Cordless Escort Solo 5) and about 30 miles later I was sitting at a stoplight when my escort went nuts. I... Read full review »

it is good but not great

Pros a good value with nice features
Cons won't mount on the dash because the velcro don't stick to it
Recommended it? Yes

Update February 2001.
I notice that this radar is more effective if PROPERLY MOUNTED. Try to raise it at least a couple of inches above the top edge of the wiper and make sure it is PARALLEL to the ground (not pointing up or down). It has to be almost perfectly parallel. Since I remounted it,... Read full review »

Can It Save You???

Pros Is cheapness a Pro?
Cons It's bulky and the display can be hard to see at times.
Recommended it? Yes

My parents bought this product for me once I got my new car (check other opinions). They wanted me to be "protected" from police because they knew that new drivers tend to have the urge for speed. I had no problem with using a radar and would use whenever I drove.

The first problem that I... Read full review »

Cobra 9000 Radar Detector

Pros Early radar alert, StrobeAlert(tm)
Cons Did not detect Laser (LIDAR) at all
Recommended it? No

I bought this product thinking that since it was so new, it had to be good. I soon learned that I made a mistake. The Cobra 9000 9-Band Radar/Laser Detector worked fine for radar. It gave me warnings several blocks ahead of the radar source. I soon learned to trust it. That is, until I drove by a... Read full review »
