Cobra getting better **UPDATED May 13, 2003**

bydazbot Feb 6, 2003

Pros Improved KA Detection from previous models, Solid on X and K Band Detection
Cons Laser detection is below par
Recommended it? Yes

After owning a Cobra 9850 and now upgrading to the 9860 I've noticed a big improvement in sensitivity on the 9860.

X and K band has always been pretty solid for Cobra, the detector gives you ample time to slow down when these threats are encountered. KA well thats another story! A big... Read full review »

9860 is ok

Pros compass is cool, nice range
Cons size, voice is delayed (see below)
Recommended it? Yes

Ok, I have been able to test the 9860. I had a Cobra 9110 before (see my review). So far I haven't seen anything that is just blows the 9110 away. The cool features would definitely be the compass, and the voice is ok. The thing I don't like about the voice is that it is delayed. What I mean is... Read full review »

Cute but Noisy little puppy

Pros Cute
Cons Waaaay too many false alerts!!!!
Recommended it? No

My first 9860 wore me out in a week with an average of 2 false X band alerts per mile. Sent that sick pup back and got another that was even worse and the second one had a flaky compass to boot. Cobra seems to think that this unit has no more falsing than their other units, but something is... Read full review »

False advertising

Pros None that I could find. The Valentine One is WAY better.
Cons Not very sensitive and does NOT function as advertised.
Recommended it? No

Recently I bought a 9870 because I wanted the Spectre stealth and detection that the 9870 advertises.
Well, simply put these features do NOT work. I got mine confiscated today (I live in Ontario where detector are illegal).
Not only did the police officer detect me with the 9870, but the... Read full review »

Good Radar, extra features flaky

bystck4evr Nov 26, 2003
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Looks great, seems to detect radar fine.
Cons Flaky compass and smart mute.
Recommended it? Yes

I had this radar detector for few weeks and I noticed that the compass is very flaky. You are supposed to calibrate it, which I did a few times. However the compass is still unstable - it shows South every few seconds when you are driving North, or ES instead of E, WS instead of W, etc. This is... Read full review »

Good product for the money invested

bysnake625 Apr 2, 2003
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Price, Compass, VG-2 protection
Cons No auto off feature
Recommended it? Yes

The Cobra 9860 radar detector may not be the best radar detector on the market, but it is valuable nonetheless. If it protects you from getting pulled over once it is worth the $100.00 that you pay for it. This is a beautiful looking detector, and I love the voice alert feature, the tones alone get...
