Review: I admit, I drive too fast, always have...always will. After having a Whistler for about 7 years, I got hit with a laser that neither of us were ready for. Thankfully I had a front door and they got nabbed...so I went to the market to save myself from ...

Pros: Inexpensive brother of the 995, with the most important parts still intact.

The Bottom Line: If you want a radar detector that works then this is the one to get. It was rated for a reason.

Review: Recently I found myself on the hunt for a new Radar detector. After doing some research I chose two 955's one for my wife and one for me. I do alot of driving so I took my 955 back and swapped it out with a little more money a picked up the 965. You can ...

Cons: No smartcord or hard case, and no mutiple threat display readings

The Bottom Line: Get this detector espically for the KU band since its coming 2006.

Pros: QUIET, BRIGHT SCREEN, NICE USER OPTIONS, IT WORKS.

Cons: NONE THAT I COULD FIND

The Bottom Line: BEL 995 VS ESCORT 8500 = EQUAL

Review: I DONT KNOW WHY THE PEOPLE BELOW ME ARE COMPLAINING OF FALSE ALARMS. DO THEY EVEN KNOW WHAT A FALSE ALARM IS? A FALSE IS WHEN IT GOES OFF FOR NO REASON....(SENSING A RADAR THAT DOESN'T EXIST)...A FALSE IS NOT CONSIDERED A RADAR READING THAT DOESN'T END ...

Pros: Good Range, saved me a lot of tickets.

Cons: Speaker ruined, no good if I can't hear the buzzer.....

The Bottom Line: Buy it because it works good and is cheap, shut it off when out of car!

Review: I have a 955 and the guy saying it does not detect well must have a defective detector. Mine picks up cops over hills and around corners great, many times at over 2 miles. If he is getting hit with laser these (all detectors) are useless and that would ...
