Valentine One V1

Pros: Best Sensitivity Around; Arrows

Cons: Auto Dim; No text

The Bottom Line: Well worth the money...if owned you would never understand why you bought anything else.

Review: The Valentine One was first brought out in early 90s. The unit featured X, K and Wideband Ka. For its time and still, it was King of X and K band pickup. Ka Wideband, thought featured, was in middle of the pack of detectors.

Now this...

Pros: Solid Build Quality, Easy to operate, directional arrows are great!

Cons: costs $400, easy to steal if left in the car

The Bottom Line: If you have the cash to spend, this is undoubtedly the one to get!

Review: The one thing that scares many people away from the Valentine 1 Radar Laser Detector is the hefty $400 price tag. And although $400 is a lot of money for a radar detector unit, the V1 is well worth it. In my experience with the Valentine 1 (2 ...

Pros: easy to install, convenient, works well

Cons: slightly expensive

Review: I have recently found the need to purchase one of these units because of a recent speeding ticket I received. I was only going about 10 miles an hour over the speed limit; however, I realized that I can not afford the increasing ticket prices and the...

Pros: Very Sensitive Detector, Rear Protection, Shows Were Cops Are, Price

Cons: NOT HAVING ONE!

The Bottom Line: The Valentine Radar detector is the greatest machine against the war against cops, it's the detector that God would be using if he had a choice.

Review: The Valentine One is unlike any radar detector that I've ever seen. I love my Valentine One, I love it like I love my family, like I love my car, and like I love my life. Where would I ever be without a Valentine One? If I were God, the radar detector...

Pros: Unparalleled radar detection, directional arrows, front AND rear protection, upgradable to new technology

Cons: Most expensive consumer radar detector, somewhat large, still can't protect from instant-on.

The Bottom Line: Buy a V1 and you'll have an investment that will last years. Future upgrades can be installed on your unit for a fee, keeping your V1 ahead of the game!

Pros: EXCELLENT RANGE! best 360 protection! Lots of information displayed

Cons: False Alarms, no lilluminated band detection for night driving

The Bottom Line: It's range and its false alarms dont scare me, read more into my review.

Review: NOTE TO ALL THE VIEWERS I've read many reviews about the Escort x50 and noticed the various comparisons between it and the Valentine. I am assuming that everyone knows that the range of the x50 and the Valentine are both excellent and compare very ...

Pros: Multi-Directional Arrows, Excellent Range, Bogey Counter, Durability, SAVED ME $$$

Cons: Pricey but worth it

The Bottom Line: Seriously. It's the best.

Review: I have already owned a Valentine One radar detector for many years. Ultimately, this is the only radar detector that I would ever trust in my own vehicle. I have probably saved thousands of dollars worth of tickets and insurance premiums with this ...

Pros: Consistent, reliable, long range detection. Functional controls, easy to operate. Dependable and very accurate.

Cons: Must hide it from potential thieves.

The Bottom Line: Solid, functional, no-fluff radar detector. Designed as a high-performance device, delivers as promised. Great company to deal with; superior product. Try it and you'll keep it.

Review: First - This is a radar/laser detector. It's designed to pick up radar/laser signals, which it does very well. It doesn't have a lot of "fluffy" features like compass, voice, Safety Warning System, etc. It just uses all it's circuitry to detect ...

Pros: TOP PROTECTION, BOGEY COUNTER, CONCEALED DISPLAY OPTION, ARROW LOCATOR SYSTEM, UPGRADEABLE, K POP DETECTION

Cons: Small Radar band LED display. No included carrying case.

The Bottom Line: You can't go wrong buying a Valentine 1 Radar Detector. I highly recommend the concealed display.

Review: I am so glad I discovered the Valentine 1 (V1) on Epinions, when searching for radar detector reviews. I've used detectors going back to 1980. My first “high end” detector was the Cobra Trapshooter II – then I began using Bel products in the 1980’s, ...

Pros: 360 degree protection and directional arrows tell you where the threat is located.

Cons: False Alarms.

The Bottom Line: Lots of fun to use. Know where the "enemy" is hiding even if they aren't looking for you. Kind of like participating in a real life video game.

Review: You were ALL so helpful to me when I was shopping for a radar detector that I am happy to provide my input so that it may help someone else. After careful study, I purchased the Valentine 1 (V1) in January 2005 and have been using it for over 1 month. ...
