Radenso XP Radar & Laser Detector with GPS Lockouts

I, too, came from an Escort 8500 that had so many false alarms that I even recently got a minor ticket because I guess I just learned to always ignore the stupid thing unless I was on the highway in the country. Anyway, here is my take:Pros:-great false/BSM filtering and allows you adjust the sensitivity of said false alarms; basically you can tell it to only be 40% sensitive to K band so that most electronic doors are ignored. A lot of people might ignore this sensitivity feature, but living in a huge city this is actually really nice. This all translates into a quiet unit that rarely sends false alarms.-smart dark mode does exactly what it says and keeps the unit display black until an alarm occurs; this is actually a great feature if you listen to music loudly because as soon as the display comes on, it catches your eye without needing to hear it, that being said:-it's one of the louder units i've tried on the market-solid mounting bracket/suction cups; my Passport would clank against my windshield-beautiful OLED displayCons:-this is bad engineering to me, but the power plug goes on the DRIVER'S side of the unit; this is super annoying because it just adds more clutter in your line of sight to the road. most units are on the passenger side, and especially if you mount this near your rearview mirror, you can easily hide the cable to the right side behind the mirror. this is a design mistake IMO, but not a deal breaker.-while it is user friendly in that there is probably a setting for anything you want, it's not super easy to learn--there are no instructions in the box, so you have to go to their website. But their website's instructions are somewhat vague, and after I updated firmware the menu selections weren't even ordered the same as their manual says. You just have to spend a little time with it to understand every setting.-i still don't really understand why you have the possibility to select a "user point" so luckily in expert mode you can turn that off; i list this as a con because the first few days when i'd try to increase the volume i'd actually set a user point, which turned into many pointless user points during my drive to work. this would make me hear "user point detected" every time i got in range, which was really, really annoying considering i had inadvertently set about 15 user points in a 5 mile radius lol. like i said, once i figured out how, i was able to erase my user points and turn that feature off entirely. i guess maybe you would normally use those if there was a speed trap along your route, or maybe even something non-radar related like maybe there was a really cool restaurant you went to on a very rare drive, and that alert might jog your memory if you ever make the same trip again? anyway...not something i'll ever use, but it's there.anyway, i'm totally satisfied with my purchase from a standpoint of features. it seems to pick up cops just fine, but time will only tell if it is as good as it seems. so far, no complaints.

This radar detector is amazing has lots of amazing options for the price that you would pay much more for on others it detects radar at a very far distance I have not had a ticket since I have bought this radar detector I'm very happy with all the functionality and durability of it I did have one melt into Arizona windshield in my SUV I talked to customer service and they sent me a brand new one after I sent them back mine so I am very happy with customer service and this brand.

Excellent product, it works, its loud, it quality. Small in size which is perfect. Worked well and has saved me so many times. No kidding, I prob wouldn't have a license because I like to drive my 'vette fast.

Give this Radar detector a go, I was looking for a Replacement for my Passport radar detector that somehow always needs to be replaced every few years but the push to get a replacement came from just way to many nuisances of false alerts, especially those Escalade/Audi false alerts which literally just made short family road trips just unbearable to the point of taking it down. After researching upgrading to passports really high end detectors, I came across this brand, after some more research the XP just made more sense to me... so I made the leap of faith and got the XP, I can easily say this is the best value in Radar detectors, after you get past the fact of not having all these additional bells and whistles on other detectors and the feel of an old school radar detector, this thing JUST WORKS. It works on picking up threats, most recently it picked up a trooper tagging cars from the top of an expressway valley before i could distinguish it was a squad car, giving me a chance to do a quick speed check. The only gripe I have is that the suction holder is a bit awkward to work with, I typically take down the unit to avoid getting broken into but the pros of this unit way outnumber the cons, I've had this thing for almost a year now and was compelled to write a review so others may know to give this brand a try!

This was a great radar detector that lasted me years with 0 issues whatsoever, and it more than paid for itself with avoided tickets. The gps lockout feature is useful, as you can use it to zero out false alarms from things like automatic doors near places you frequently drive by. The volume on the device is loud, which makes it difficult to miss an alert even when listening to loud music. All in all a great product that I highly recommend!

This product has saved me from MANY situations. Very worth the money an has lasted me years.
