More to follow.********************************************************************9 Dec - Initial entry:Had it for a week now - - right along side my old Valentine 1.Slick packaging and really nice bluetooth app link to the iPhone - -Great long distance alerts - - but THERE the praise ends

The distance on it is amazing, I was hesitant to buy it because of the iffy

Passport Max has better distance, less false positives, and GPS lockouts

A good distance down the road my detector started alarming about radar

I like the X band delete function and it picks up K and Ka at much greater distances than I was able to with my previous units

Have not figured how to turn that very irritating feature off yet

The other amazing feature is how few false alarms I get.

That is a nice feature to have but not worth paying $600

The Max is feature rich and could be considered the Cadillac of Escort radar detectors

Think of the Max 2 as a faster, longer range, more feature rich version of the 9500ix (another older Escort radar detector), just like the original Max is

so this is a good price!it saves the false alerts and Rear range is also great

It has a good range on x,k,ka bands laser is not very good

Has good 2-3 mile range and works good with the app on my iPad.

It worked great, low amount of false alerts, great range, nice display etc

This detector has incredible range and the voice prompts are very helpful

The old Escort cases were much nicer (hard sided).Overall, it's worth the money for the peace of mind.

Max 360: Not refined, looks like they attempted to save money on components as the false positives are frequent and the arrows are slow to work

If money is no object, then, yes, this is probably the best detector you can buy.. except you would need a blinder or laser interceptor for Laser defence

Great product, do not waste your money on a cheap detector!

Really impressive product and software to go along with it.

It only took a day of many false alerts and some reviews to realize it was an inferior product.

Great product, do not waste your money on a cheap detector!

I am getting another for my wife and highly recommend this product to anyone who loved to go fast or just wants some ticket protection

I would not recommend this product wth the shortcomings for the premium price.

This thing works great.. took a trip from Alabama to North Carolina and

The best thing to do if you are concerned about laser in your area is to get alternative equipment/products (that Escort and others sell) to help lessen this threat

BTW, I used a mirror mount so this thing wasn't even on the Windshield......beware....

So far I have nothing but great things to say about it.

It was recommended to me by my friend which had great things to say about it

so this is a good price!it saves the false alerts and Rear range is also great

The price - people polled thought the original Max was overpriced/not reasonable at $550 and would be more reasonably priced at (or around $400

Phenomenal detector and the price today is substantially lower than the $549.99 I paid in Feb 2015.

Price not good for cerves

, I'm sure it's a great radar detector, but Waze seems to be a far superior ticket avoidance option given the prices and functionality, or lack thereof

I call the customer service line to find out where I should send this defective unit

This unit is excellent but just wish it had directional

as for the radar itself maybe I just got a bad unit , in 8 hours on the road I passed maybe 15

WHY on earth would I spend MORE money to fix a defective unit

This unit, coupled with a free smart phone app is easy to use, really seems to do the job and provides a certain amount of peace of mind...

The radar detector is good but the mounting sticky cup broke after 2 weeks

This is a very effective radar detector and generally hassle free

This radar detector is not intuitive to use, the mute button is too far

It doesn't transmit a signal so your radar detector is useless

It seems someone tried to pop open the radar detector and broke the hinges and screws

While expensive (and possibly over priced), the Max is a good all in one detector

However, while the Max is good at locking out static/non stationary signals and is getting better a locking out moving signals, it still struggles with dynamic/moving radar emissions such as blind spot monitors from vehicles

Unit is not Motorcycle friendly...my older Passport supported an LED warning light device using the audio port, the Max 2 will not support such devices.

In my experience from reading through this and other forums over the years and with my own unit, the original Max had more issues then I have seen with a radar detector from Escort

While expensive (and possibly over priced), the Max is a good all in one detector

Several times, the Laser interceptor alarmed but this escort was silent

I was forced to buy the Valentine One because of how poor this Escort was with detecting laser

it rattles in mountI would strongly recommend the Escort 360

Unfortunately, it's only as good as the information Escort gives it

Stay away from this escort max2 radar detector, sound went out after only 2 weeks of use, escort will not honor their warranty!

I have had this unit for about a month now, so I feel like I've had enough time to get a good feel for it.

I had difficult time with Escort Customer Service, which left me with a negative feeling.

The detector is okay but fails to give you enough time between alert and contact.

I doubt, had I been the culprit, the Escort would have provided sufficient warning time to slow down.

However, there are multiple cases of people getting scatter from when an LEO was indeed targeting other cars and their unit detected the laser, which gave them enough time to slow down

, the mount is great, it feels like it's impossible to detach from the glass, unlike the 9500ix

The sticky mount works just fine, just wipe the windshield with a Kleenex before mounting

Some reviewers have noted that, when mounted, the unit "shakes like crazy".

I recently bought an Escort MAX with an improved mounting system that would bump this to a

While the sticky mount works well, I wanted a little more subtlety and bought a permanent mount

This detector also does a good job rejecting false signal rejection originating from static (fixed) sources.

False positive/false signal rejection: 2 3

is for its false alarm rejection based on gps memory

False positive/false signal rejection: 2 3

I would like to further center my review from perspective of an individual who 'appreciates' signal interception and interpretation from a much deeper understanding - well beyond the mild annoyance of a simple speeding ticket

The digital signal processing is highly effective, it's eliminates false signals once it's sure that's what it is

I love that you can block out a signal and it genuinely works!

It is quite effortless, when working, and locks out false signals quickly

This past week I actually picked up a sudden strong Ka band signal when a hidden cop was LITERALLY right next to me.

A few other things I am disappointed in, after connect via Bluetooth with Galaxy S6, a mute function was some how activated that causes the detector to alert one time only to an alert and then completely silence the remaining alerts regardless of how strong the alert was

The bluetooth connection is solid, and fewer false alerts.

What I love most about it is now much better it is at avoiding false alerts.

It can remember false alerts and then block those from sounding out next time.

This detector works ok but falses constantly on blind spot monitors from other vehicles

However, while the Max is good at locking out static/non stationary signals and is getting better a locking out moving signals, it still struggles with dynamic/moving radar emissions such as blind spot monitors from vehicles

still like it, but it seems to give off too many false alerts for cars with blind spot detectors and or ez pass cards.

Good on open roads, downfall is false alarms from other cars with blind spot and adaptive cruise control.

so marking hot spots would be pretty impossible

Sometimes the speed limit displays on the detector when connected to the app, sometimes

The one other exception, is the voice telling me "over speed" every time I go over the speed limit

It does go off quite a bit when there are digital speed limit detectors all over the

It needs to be connected to the running app to display the speed limit, otherwise it won't show2

and it said the speed limit was 75 and it never indicated I was overspeed as it had the before

Paired via Bluetooth app and you get advanced warning of known speed traps and red light cameras

Warned me of redlight camera's, speed traps, speed signs, and speed camera's.

This is a wonderful tool for avoiding the sneaky speed traps notorious in my area.

I like that it gives me a heads up of areas that are known speed traps.

If you get the Escort Live subscription it will be much more fun, shows and alerts you about the speed limit, cameras and speed traps

The Max2 has exceeded my expectations in its ability to handle false positives and automatically silence itself.

With more and more cars having anti-collision radar warnings, the false positives are overwhelming.

Passport Max has better distance, less false positives, and GPS lockouts

I have yet to get any false positives on K or Ka that were not obvious to me.

Almost identical to the Max but for some reason it's more sensitive to false positives

Also, the KA band is constantly being set off by blind spot monitoring systems.

(I have to use the app to truly hear the alert)I've yet to have any issue with the blind spot monitors

The Max, like every other detector on the market, still struggles with the dynamic (moving) radar noise (such as the ever increasing blind spot monitors and collision avoidance systems on today's vehicles)

However, while the Max is good at locking out static/non stationary signals and is getting better a locking out moving signals, it still struggles with dynamic/moving radar emissions such as blind spot monitors from vehicles

This detector works ok but falses constantly on blind spot monitors from other vehicles

Thats why valentine one needs a hard wire to your cars diagnostic port in order to sense the speed.. and that hard wiring does not always work.. and is a pain
