Keep looking for a better radar detector.

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: The quality and lack of volume alone should be enough for the average consumer to say "no thank you" and keep shopping.
Review: The Whistler DE-1788 was my first purchase in radar detectors. I had researched and reviewed many Whistler and Cobra models. I was still on the fence about which brand I wanted to buy when I walked into Radio Shack and saw that this model was on...

Great, If you enjoy peace and quiet...

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: There are plenty of other models to choose from. Don't stop here unless the cordless factor is a big deal to you.
Review: It's a little larger than I'm used to in a detector, but it is still workable for a truck or SUV. It has a blue backlit display with a black text LCD. The silver accents and chrome plastic buttons are a nice touch. I purchased this unit from...

Not as good as radartest.com says...

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2007
Review: I've been using an old model for years now, whistler 1675 compass. it has the least amount of false alarms. I've never gotten a ticket with it for over 6 years. Well my wife drives a lot also, thought it'd be time to get her a radar. I bought this...

This radar detector is junk

Date of Review:  Dec 4, 2006
Review: This radar detector broke after 2 uses. It is heavy, the batteries don't charge very well, the bracket holding the unit to the window is very fragile and broke almost immediately. Additionally, the unit will turn it self off after several hours of...

Great Deal - $99.99 on Sale at Radio Shack

Date of Review:  Sep 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: I've given it a 3 star rating because I just don't know yet. The unit seems solid, and I have 30 days to evaluate. If not - BEL 895 next.
Review: This is my first radar detector, and I've only had it a few days (9/2/06). I wanted one that was cordless because I thought it would be easier to manage. I like to research things and was able to find a review that gave it 4 Stars (but qualified the...

It is much better, than some people think about it

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2007
Review: Whistler started with radars for marine corps and all products made by this company are not cheaply made, but made like military kind. I tried Cobra XRS 9930 and prefer Whistler 1788, less false alarms. Reliable. Cool display and sound alerts. Sound...

Excellent Radar Detector at a good price

Date of Review:  Oct 19, 2008
Review: I purchased a used Whistler 1788 radar detector. I feel its a good radar detector. It picks up K, Ka and Laser very good. I live in Tampa Bay, Florida and there are so many speed traps all over. Especially in the construction zones where the speed...

Great Cordless Radar Detector

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this unit for anyone that is looking for a dependable radar detector at a low price.
Review: I purchased my 1788 used and I think its a great radar detector. For those of you that are not satisfied with this unit, you may have got a bad one or you need to go and purchase a 500.00 radar detector if that will make you happy. I have owned many...
