Any suggestions looking in to getting one....Ive been looking at the Valentine Detector any other brands and model you guys suggest?

 

valentine or escort 9500i flip a coin they are both great. Im thinking bout buying a valentine my 8500 escort is messing up. I like the valentine cause of the arrows.

 

I have the Escort Passport, no complaints.

 

iv got a 9500i hardwired in with the Z mount.. looks GREAT! works great too

 

This thread will go on and on and on, everyone has their favorite among four or five on the market. I love my Escort Solo S2. Have two of them and they serve us great.

 

I have the escort 9500i and I like it.

 

Coming from an Escort 8500 user, get a Valentine One - plain and simple. They'll both detect radar well, but the V1 will detect all forms of laser, including stealth mode with near flawless results. The Escort will only detect 5/8 different laser signals, and will not pick up stealth mode.

 

I have an Escort Passport 8500 and love it.

 

I personally like the Valentine 1

 

i keep hearing it's not worth it to invest in a detector anymore because no cops are using lasers and not radars much ... =/ cuz i was looking at the V1 too ...

 

Most cops in Dallas still use Ka. There are a few Laser and Pop traps. If you are really paranoid then pair a good detector with the Blinder M20 laser jammer.

 

i would love to sport a jammer. how do they know if you are though?

 

You need to hide it. BTW, the M20 is no longer available. It has been replaced with a new model:

The jammers are mounted under the front grill. You need to have them hiddened away so that cops can't see them. The jammer is to be left on at all times. When you get an alert you must slow down and then turn the jammer off so that the cop can get your reading. If you leave it on they will know you are jamming.

 

.... ugh lol that's a lot of stuff. i guess i'll just drive the speed limit -_-

 

LMFAO!!!!

 

go with the Valentine! I bought mine about a month ago and have avoided at least one ticket! The arrows are great and the fact that it tells you what band you are being hit and the signal strength! well worth the money and if you think about it if you avoid one ticket due to a radar detector then it paid for itself!

 

I have the Valintine 1. Best I've ever owned.

 

blinders are illegal in Oklahoma

 

This is pretty much the way I decided. As for the person who said one is better because it can detect all laser, I am pretty sure laser detection is useless. Once it detects it, it's too late. You have to get a jammer to avoid laser. Escort does have a jammer that works with theirs if that interests you.

 

+1 it has saved me a few times
