I have had several radar detectors and I am very pleased with this one. This is by far the cheapest that I found for the features it has. In 2001 I paid $50 for this, and in July 2002 I bought a second for my in-laws (for which I only paid $40).
There is no reason to buy a more expensive brand. I decided which features I wanted in a radar/laser detector and then I began looking for the cheapest price, and the Uniden LRD937 was perfect. I have had no problems with mine and it has detected cops using X, K, Ka bands. I was amazed that it had the cloaking feature too!

The Cobra XRS-9600 is an 11 band? radar detector featuring Cobra’s Xtreme Range Superheterodyne? Technology. With this new technology, the XRS-9600 has even more range than past Cobra models. This model features an alpha numeric display with a signal strength indicator and, a built-in 8 point digital compass. The XRS-9600 radar detector also includes Cobra’s intuitive IntelliMute? feature, which will automatically mute the detector based on your speed.

After getting a speeding ticket while I was using a Cobra radar detector, I promptly purchased a Whistler DE-1665 Radar Detector several years ago at Best Buy and have been using it ever since–with mixed results.
The unit is solidly made and has taken quite a few beatings from being tossed around and from the hot sun. (I also leave my radar detector in the window continuously) When plugged-in and powered-on, the unit goes through an annoying self-test of all of the LED’s, verbal alerts, and sounds. While it only lasts a few seconds, there should be a way to bypass this completely. Once it’s on–unless the user presses “City”–the unit will sound loudly after every detection from any band/laser. In ‘City’ mode, the unit announces an alert once–but then remains quiet unless the signal becomes closer and stronger or in the case of a lidar (laser) detection.

When the box says “Great features for the price!” It isn’t kidding. You can buy this detector in Wal-Mart for about 40 dollars or you could even pay less than $30 online if you look in the right places.With the Whistler 1732DE you get get a lot of features.(They are listed on this site.) http://www.buyradardetectors.com/products/whistler/whistler-de-1732.aspx .

Like the 911, the Valentine One has steadily improved over it’s long 15 year history. But it’s changes have come slowly and methodically.
Fortunately for us, Valentine Research has resisted trendy fads that have made their way into lesser detectors (that have come and gone) and instead has stayed absolutely focused on consistently providing the highest levels of detection across all bands of RADAR and all forms of LIDAR.
It is true that Valentine’s competitors have managed to just about equal or exceed [in some cases] its RADAR detection performance, at times, but it has taken more than a decade to do so. Laser detection performance remains the platinum standard.

I bought the Beltronics Vector 940 mail order for $150 and had
hoped it will save me from another radar speeding ticket. The
route I take to work has really low speed limits and are posted
for radar enforcement. My primary vehicle is a BMW R80, which
is unfaired. Learning to use the Vector 940 was easy since one
would change the settings when unit is new to match the user’s
individual tastes, then leave it alone. There are only four
buttons on the unit so it’s not complicated to use. I bought
this detector because it has a laser detector facing the rear
as well as to the front, and because it’s powered by the
vehicle’s 12V system, allowing it to be louder than a detector
powered by batteries.

In a recent 120 mile trip, I can upon eight state troopers scattered about. The Bel 980 was superb in alerting me as I came up on them. The features of this unit are great. It has 7 driver selectable/programmable features that allow you to set it the way you want. The buttons are easy to access, and the display is very easy to see and read. One of the nice features is the brightness selection. You can set it on "bright" or "dim" for daytime driving, and dark for night. The dark setting shows only a tiny letter in the display to let you know if you’re on the highway or city setting. This way, at night, no one can see it on your dash. This unit can be mounted on the dash, on the visor, or on the windshield with included suction cups. Comes with two cords, one coiled and one straight.

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 buyradardetectors.com after a semi-favorable review on several sites.
Driving around town, it picks up the X-band signals that my old detector did. It is consistent with signal strength. My route to work and back is identical, and each time the signal strength is similar for the same culprits.
