The Bottom Line:
The Whistler 1732DE is a great all around detector for the price. It works better than some of the $100 dollar detectors that are out there.
When the box says "Great features for the price!" It isn't kidding. You can buy this detector in Wal-Mart for about 40 dollars or you could even pay less than $30 online if you look in the right places.With the Whistler 1732DE you get get a lot of features.(They are listed on this site.) http://www.buyradardetectors.com/products/whistler/whistler-de-1732.aspx .
Sometimes we make minor mistakes, we are driving our cars, listening to our music, not really watching for cops or our speed. We are just cruising. We don't realize that we are going 10 over.(Since I drive a Nissan Maxima this is easy for me to do.) This is where the Whistler 1732DE comes in. This situation has happened to me a few times. My radar detector will signal that there is a cop ahead, I'll slow down to the speed limit. And about 10 seconds later I will see the police cruiser sitting in the median on the road.
This Whistler detector has a good range. It will alert you in plenty of time to slow down to the speed limit if you are going about 10 over. This detector is a good one to have if you are just going a little over the speed limit. If you are a real leadfoot and like to go 15+ over the speed limit, you may want to get a more effective detector like the Valentine one, but even that would not save you.
I have found that the VG-2 cloaking is very effective. I was driving in Gulf Breeze Alabama without my VG-2 cloaking on, an unmarked car was behind me. My radar was going crazy, and then the laser signal would keep going off. It was like the cop was constantly hitting me with laser. It was quite annoying. I hit the VG-2 cloaking button. Then the VG-2 Alert immediatly sounded and it cloaked. A few seconds later the cop went around me. Maybe he thought I unplugged it. The radar came back on. So I kept driving down the road en route to Florida. My VG-2 sounds again, so I slow down from going 5 over to the speed limit. My radar cloaks, I look to my right and I see the same officer sitting on the side of the road. Mind you this was at about 10 pm at night. So the road was pretty deserted. I think that he was there because he thought I turned off my radar detector. So I think that the VG-2 cloaking is a great feature to have.
I am satisfied with my detector. It has saved me more money than I spent on it by more than 3 fold. I recommend this product.
