Pros Interesting features
Cons constant noise and slightly expensive
Recommended it? Yes

My husband bought the Whistler DE-1660 Radar Detector a little over three years ago, because he drives like an idiot and doesn't want to get a ticket for it. I liked this one best because of the other features it had.

First of all in addition to picking up on all the different radars that... Read full review »

Pros Maybe cost but No true pros
Cons NO Memory Retention
Recommended it? Yes

The 1660 offers a good value for it detection. The Whistler Company offers many features in it product but some not worth the price. This is one the many detectors in or above the middle class of detectors. This includes Cobra, Uniden, and Escort.

This Whistler offers VG-2 alert, Voice,... Read full review »

It's a keeper, but give that voice some speech therapy!

Pros Very sensitive; all-mode coverage; simple installation
Cons Voice feature not useful; controls have quirks; display hard to read in sunlight
Recommended it? Yes

I suspect I am not exactly within the demographic of people most likely to be buying a radar detector. I drive an energy-conserving car (see my Honda Insight review), I respect the law, and the only time I'm likely to speed is when I miss seeing a speed limit sign. But I recently became curious...

I had decided I wanted a radar detector. I went on eBay looking for radar detectors. I found this one unit, the Whistler 1660, for $75. I read some websites that said some good things about this... Read full review »

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Sensitive, All of the Essential Features
Cons Annoying in city(even in city mode), poor durability
Recommended it? No

I originally purchased this product because I wanted a radar detector that was in the mid-price range, but had all of the necessary features that I wanted. I picked the 1660 over the 1650 for the Real Voice feature, but in retrospect I would save the money and do without it. After week you... Read full review »

Pros NOT MUCH, MAYBE THE VOICE FEATURE
Cons POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP!!! DOES NOT DETECT RADAR IN SOME AREAS
Recommended it? No

I FIRST PURCHASED THIS UNIT IN FEBRUARY OF 2001, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED SINCE. FIRST, THE SUCTION CUPS DO NOT STAY ON MY WINDSHIELD VERY WELL, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GETS WARM. MY WHISTLER KEPT FALLING OFF MY WINDSHIELD WHEN THE TEMPERATURE REACHED 75 DEGREES OR HIGHER. NEXT,... Read full review »
