A worthy upgrade from my ancient Whistler 1490

Author's Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: Expert Meter, loud, audibly distinct alerts, soothing red display

Cons: expensive, windshield mount is flimsy

Bottom Line:
A solid radar detector, worth the purchase price, the only improvements i could see would be a sturdier windshield mount, and maybe some form of directional arrows Read More

Great.... When it works.

Author's Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: Extremely sensitive, Nice looking, Smart Cord Mute, customizable

Cons: Pricey, seems to be a lack of quality control

Bottom Line:
Great radar detector; saved me MANY times. Incredible sensitivity picks up over hills! Buy an extended-service plan or cheap because they seem to fail after a year or two. Read More
