RX55 Radar Detector Above Average

byunrealronin Aug 15, 2004
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great price for all the features
Cons Filter is 8 out of 10, you get what you pay for
Recommended it? Yes

I recently bought a RX55 from Cardomain. The price was $229 with not tax or shipping. I had it in two days. I could have bought it on eBay for $177 plus $15 for shipping. So for an extra $30 I bought it from a reputable dealer. I did a lot of research and I really like the Beltronics product line... Read full review »

Not too hot

Pros its inexpensive, looks cool.
Cons Weak sensor, Cell phone sets it off, cheaply made power cord.
Recommended it? No

Let me preface this by saying this was the first radar detector I have ever owned. But so far, i'm unimpressed. I have three main gripes with this detector.

One, my cell phone sets off the laser detection on this thing every time it changes cells or take a call. If i'm on a long trip,... Read full review »

Effective Detector

bythereve Mar 30, 2005
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros good-enough warning, will pay for itself with one successful alert
Cons Somewhat large, not shipped with a visor clip (same with all bel/escort detectors)
Recommended it? Yes

This is a fairly decent detector, especially considering the price. It falses for grocery stores...but most detectors do; the City LoX helps a lot in places like that. I usually use Autoscan in town, but at times City LoX is necessary. Where I live though there aren't any sources for falsing, so I... Read full review »

Pros Fair price, reliable, Ka works well.
Cons Poor laser sensitivity.
Recommended it? No

I have had mine for about 3 years and it seemed to work fine. Sensitivity was OK. False detect at grocery store motion detectors was common. I have not had the cell phone issue others have had. X and Ka detect were fine. Laser however never triggered and I got a ticket this morning. It was powered... Read full review »

I liked my 20 year old Uniden better

Pros Price Loudness
Cons False alarms Questionable value of Autoscan mode Loudness
Recommended it? No

After having my trusty Uniden detector for many years I thought it was time to upgrade. Got the RX55 - turns out to be a downgrade. I've had this unit a year now and it is just plain annoying. Switching from city to highway or autoscan mode makes NO difference - they all react the same. This unit... Read full review »

This is a step down

byanakort Jun 3, 2005
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros POP alerts (have not seen it working though)
Cons False alerts, poor support
Recommended it? No

Pro: POP alerts (have not seen it working though)
Cons:
1. Tons of false alerts on Laser with a cell phone in the car. I had different cell phone models, all of them trigger Laser band during conversation. Very annoying.
2. No way to turn Laser alerts off. And it always comes at a... Read full review »

This Radar Detector from Beltronics is super HOT!!! I'm no lazy reviewer who is just feeling like writing junk. Hear me out... Over the past year I've tested several Radar Detector Units and here is the bottom line: Cobra Radar Detectors will do if you dont mind a speeding ticket (BAD PERFORMANCE),... Read full review »

RX65's little brother - Great detector

bytronik Sep 4, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great performance for the price
Cons X-band delete only works in CITY mode
Recommended it? Yes

I considered a lot of RDs before settling on this, seemed a good compromise between price and performance. Obviously, if money were no object, I'd go for one of the 'Big 3' [the BEL RX65, Valentine V1 or Escort 5800].

I have only had it for a few days, but has already saved me from a... Read full review »

Pros Display-which are easy to read and the ease of use of the unit overall.
Cons None that I can think of this baby suits my needs just fine
Recommended it? Yes

I had a Bel-980 for the last four years and it finally went out on me. I called Bel and they told me about a trade in program they were offering for old Bel detectors. So I decided to try the RX55 and I must say I'm glad I bought this unit, the controls are easy to navigate thru and it works like a... Read full review »
