Escort still has not implemented many of the reasonable features its users have been asking for a while now (over a year now)

If you can afford it, the Max 2 is a good radar detector if you are interested in good radar protection without having to mess with/program a unit, you want reasonable false alert suppression (especially if you live in a city/urban environment) and you like the features the Max has to offer

Great detector, love the lock out feature for store motion detectors

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

Love the features

It looked quite nice, and had a very nice feature set.

Red light camera detector is also an excellent feature.

I also like this feature because it makes it easy to remove when I leave my car parked outside for longer periods of time

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

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

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

In fact, that's the best feature

As far as the warnings go.. Being GPS enabled, it does help learn/filter out false alarms which is a nice feature

My favorite feature is the 'over speed' alert, I have it set to tell me when I am 10 mph over the speed limit.

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

There are great features such as " No X" that keep those radar bands from setting your radar off and the speed monitor, you set, that alerts you when you exceed the speed you set it

The GPS lock out feature for K bands is nice, as I pass a lot of speeding signs

The learning feature is wonderful

The mute button on the charger is also a nice feature
