Whistler DE-1730 - The Cheapest Detector Which Has The Potential To Save You

bysoupcraze Dec 28, 2003
21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Cheap, Actually Works
Cons Hard To Read
Recommended it? Yes

The Whistler DE-1730 is one of the cheapest detectors that I've ever used. I compared it face-to-face against the Cobra ESD-6060 which costs about the same. The Cobra may look better with its display, but the Whistler DE-1730 actually manages to scan out police radar and provide some early warning... Read full review »

Pros Sleek and stealthy, hard to spot -- VERY compact. Nice & LOUD alerts.
Cons LED indicators hard to see in extremely bright, direct sunlight.
Recommended it? Yes

I have nothing but compliments for this radar detector. I've used and abused costly [brand name] detectors over the years and I ended up buying the Whistler DE-1730 in mid-2002 at BestBuy. I paid significantly less than what other detectors were selling for and I figured, "If its cheap, I'll just... Read full review »

Pros Value for money, small size, laser detection.
Cons Alert volume, display brightness, sometimes mis-id's bands.
Recommended it? Yes

While my normal Beltronics RX65 was out for repair, I purchased a Whistler 1730 for $40 at Wal-Mart to use as a spare. I really just intended to sell it off after getting my RX65 back, but after using it, i've decided to keep it around. For the price, it impressed me. If you have very little money...

The best value in a radar detector!

bywkdf Oct 16, 2003
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Price, ease of use, actual performance and features for the money.
Cons Could be louder and have brighter LED's.
Recommended it? Yes

Take from a person who has tried a few radar detectors in his day, this may not be the best one on the market but it's the best value going. Look at the features you get for 40 bucks...Audible alerts with separate tones for each band of radar plus laser, visual alerts with separate LED lights for... Read full review »

Pros A 40 dollar detector that performs like a 100 dollar unit. Great value.
Cons Brighter LED's and memory settings would be nice.
Recommended it? Yes

I saw the other reviews on this Whistler (they were pretty good) and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents since I've owned one for quite a while now. This unit works very well overall. I bought mine at Wal-Mart for 40 bucks. As a previous rater said, this is a very simple unit to operate, you can either... Read full review »

Good Basic Radar Detector

bydwsscs May 12, 2002
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good price, all band/laser in a nice basic package, attractive unit
Cons Short range(but enough), lots of false alarms
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this for a recent 12 hour drive, and was impressed with it. Though it had some false alarms, I was alerted to all cops, laser, photo radar units, unmanned radar units, and many electric doors (I didn't really use the city mode). I had to learn the sounds of the different alerts because I... Read full review »
