It also responds more to door openers etc than the older (more expensive) model.

Would not recommend this model

It was also rated the second best radar under $600, the top model only slightly better for three times the price.

Basically it is an excellent product that performs better than other less expensive models.

Some models dont work but this does

I did my research and this model has been solid for many years

In the future, I would probably get a more expensive model that integrates well into a modern laser jamming system, since many of the police in my area seem to be switching to laser.

This model has reliably picked up the pigs in motion and on the roadside thus far, but it has way too many annoying false alarms

great compact radar detector with most of the bells and whistles of the expensive models
