Escort Solo S2

Pros: Cordless, Better than older Solos, Nice performance for cordless

Cons: Expensive

The Bottom Line: The Escort Solo S2 deems itself to be the top dog in the cordless market.

Review: I have previously written a review on the Escort Solo S2 and it got moved to a different category, plus I was less experienced then so found my review to be very unsatisfactory. Times have changed, and I've decided to try this incredibly popular and ...

Pros: Confident detection range; large, clear LCD display; ease of use; smart design; programmability; Escort pedigree

Cons: Pricey; audio alert volume could be louder. Not much to complain about here...

The Bottom Line: Solo S2 is yet another impressive gem from Escort’s long line of premium detectors. Smart and reliable for a cordless model; its performance rivals the best of the corded bunch.

Review: I’ll admit it...I’m often guilty of coveting thy electronic store’s new things. Even if I already have a fairly new gadget I like and use, I’m green with envy about a new product I wasn’t warned about that’s much cooler and much ...

Pros: EXCELLENT detection range, good control & display layout, cordless, beautiful.

Cons: Eats batteries fast (about 25 hours of operation per pair of AA)

The Bottom Line: If you're looking at buying a radar detector, this is the one to buy. Great detection range, easy to use, pretty to look at, and durable.

Review: My last radar detector was an X-Band only Uniden about 15 years ago. I'm impressed with how far they've come since then. We just got back from a 3,000 mile road trip through Oregon, California and Nevada including several major cities. The Solo S2 was ...

Pros: Excellent range and good sensitivity. Attractive appearance and display. Easy to mount anywhere

Cons: Less range than the Escort 8500.

The Bottom Line: A solid, dependable detector. Highly recommended

Review: I recently purchased this detector after extensively researching it's abilities and weaknesses. Here's my opinion: - I already own an Escort 8500, so I have an excellent detector benchmark to compare it to. I purchased the S2 because I was reluctant ...

Pros: Superior detection capabilities. Loaded with customizable features. Nice design.

Cons: None

Review: Basically the Escort S2 is the best cordless detector you can buy. I've owned the Escort S2 for a few weeks now and I must say I am quiet impressed. The unit gives LONG range warning so that it does what its designed to do, eliminate speeding tickets. Th ...

Pros: Cordless, many functions, detects all bands/laser.

Cons: Can be a little too sensitive for door sensors. Pricey.

Review: The Solo S2 is very easy to use. At first, I was worried about learning to use all the different functions, but I have found that the factory settings are the best so I didn't need to change anything. The range is very good for a cordless but works even ...

Pros: Cordless (no cords); Visual layout

Cons: Cordless (batt life); night operations; price

The Bottom Line: One of the Best Cordless models, best used in travels when no cigarette lighter work in the Rent a Car

Review: Escort, after years of trying to get a Cordless model to operate efficiently, finally aspired to having a Highly workable Cordless unit. Since the Technology merger with Beltronics years ago, Escort has been producing Top contending models (8500 & ...

Pros: Great range, portable

Cons: Expensive, alerts could be louder

The Bottom Line: You can't go wrong with the SOLO.

Review: For a cordless (even for a corded model), this Escort satisfies even the most daring of speeders and car enthusiasts.  The selectable alerting capability (Highway, City, Auto) allows the user to avoid many of X band's alerts caused so often by ...

Pros: Good detection range and the back light and programmable features are convienent.

Cons: The controls are too small and no detection arrows like the Valentine 1.

The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is buy this detector, but if you have the money go for the more expensive Valentine 1. The Solo S2 is worth the money.

Review: I purchased a radar detector from Radio Shack about 6 months ago for about 100 dollars. I thought that it was a decent radar detector at that time. But after using it for a couple of week i began see that the detection range was horrible. When i ...

Pros: Cordless, Good range on fresh batteries, Upgradable

Cons: Week signal with week battery, display hard to see, easy to steal, Useless laser detector

Review: I bought this radar detector from Sharper Image, and it works great. I was not to crazy about the fact that it is cordless. Being cordless the signal gets week with the battery life. Also the LCD screen makes the Escort Solo hard to see. It lights up at ...
