Radar Detectors

NZ.Z · 03-19-2016, 08:33 PM

I've read that the Valentine 1 or the Escort Max are top end.
How good is your V1, would you recommend it?

i have 2 units for my 2 cars, and recently got the updated ones. they are very good.

i might get another one for my other car.

I currently have three Valentine One units. I have bought a total of five units and I'm not changing brand anytime soon.

So what do you do when you live in a place where radar detectors are illegal but you still want one. I didn't even know they were illegal in Virginia until crossing the state line coming from NC and seeing clear as day a warning sign about radar detectors.

I presume you would have to have one hard wired and hidden in the front grill or something.

Whistler Pro 3600 Radar Detector Review

Either a Escort Redline or a Valentine V1. Look at the reviews on www.rdforum.org, you will learn a lot. I use the use Whistler but come to find out that don't work worth a crap.

How are you liking it so far and how does it compare to any other high end detectors you have owned (if you have...)?

I bought a used 9500ix and the performance feels a bit like it needs a tune up (or just not as good as I was expecting...compared to my old V1). I don't feel like I can go back to a V1 and have to deal with the constant chatter.. so I have been considering the Max 360.

I used a 9500ix for about 4 or 5 years and it always worked like a champ.
