Best Value against many other top Predecessors, Superior Quality

Pros: loud speaker, mount+dashmount, sleep mode, bright display

Cons: plastic piece inside unit gets worn making it hard to mount (after years of owning)

Review: This Radar detector has saved my butt many times! I have recommended this unit to a friend and he loves it. I have had no problems with this unit and would recommend it to anyone except the people who can throw money to the companies who make beltronics, valentine, etc. Great Buy!

Audio problems

Pros: Excellent radar detection

Cons: Audio failure - Twice

Review: Airports set off laser detection at full volume and from a long distance away. You can not adjust this feature or control with volume (Sets off full blast). You literally have to shut the unit off.
I have just lost audio for the second time with this unit. The first time a simple speaker replacement repaired the problem, no such luck this time. Of course the unit is 2-months out of warranty. I'm not sure I would purchase again. The price is great but the quality does not seem to be there.
