    • my escort 8500 back soo happy best detector ever

    • If you can get past the false alarms, it is a very, very sensitive detector that has picked up state troopers running k-band from about 1/8 mile ahead
    • This is lousy radar detector.
    • This is a great radar detector, its already saved me from a couple tickets, and it has great range!Only
    • With all that being said, there isn't a magic radar detector that will save you from laser detection until you've been hit.
    • I recommend this detector to anyone because it's easy to use and hassle free.

    • The escort passport 8500x50 is a great radar detector the range is unrivaled by any other brand worth every penny it's paid for itself time and time again

    • But if you are an extreme speeder, the ONLY way to determine the BEST detector for your needs is to test out multiple different units

    • From a functionality standpoint, this is a fantastic detector
    • I would not recommend this radar detector to anyone.

    • This is by far THE BEST radar detector on the market, thankfully it is very competitively priced and is definitely worth the purchase.
    • I have always wondered how well radar detectors actual work
    • Talking about design, the suction cups included and used to support radar detector are not at the same level of quality at this price level
    • The detector is VERY sensitive, which at times can be annoying, but that has become acceptable for me as it has alerted me to many speed traps and unmarked cars to name a few.
    • Excellent detector--just needs a little longer power cord.
    • Great radar detector for around town or highway
    • This is my second Escort and comparing to earlier detectors and another brand my son has the Escort is by far a better detector

    • Such a great detector
    • Once i switched to the escort brand there was no mistaking they are better detectors
    • there are better detectors out there (from escort and valentine) but none are better for the price.
    • Except for this minor glitch, and a high price, its a great detector.
    • Detector is horrible tried it for over a month on long highway trips and city and would always give me false alarms
    • This is a great entry-level radar detector
    • I absolutely love this radar detector
    • I personally believe Escort makes the best radar detectors out in the market right now
    • I bought this unit to replace a cheaper detector, hoping it would eliminate so many annoying false alarms
    • This is an awesome detector, and when used with the Escort Live Smartcord - it's functionality is nearly identical to the Escort 9500ix, but about $160 less.
    • Great, high quality radar detector
    • Best cost efficient radar detector
    • Extremely good detector
    • The detector would not work at first
    • I don't see how you could begin to trust this detector
    • Sure there are better detectors and better protection you can get, but you'll end up spending more if you want to go crazy
    • I found that on full volume, your music can start to cover it up; however, the detector is still audible at what I consider to be high music volume.
    • Better than the cheap cobra iRad detector I previously had
    • (obviously I think the detector is good as I ordered it again after my old one went missing)upon receiving
    • Mind you when this detector is working it does a GREAT job at detecting radars.
    • Excellent detector.
    • Twice as good as my Bell radar detector
    • This detector is extremely sensitive, and while that works to the advantage of finding officers, it can become quite annoying
    • One of the best detectors money can buy
    • Excellent radar/laser detector
    • I had a cheaper radar detector by Whistler, but haven't been that impressed
    • This is an excellent radar detector, after doing much research I purchased the passport
    • Overall it's a very good detector and I pick police up before I see
    • excellent detector for the price.
    • : I still think this is a perfectly good radar detector, but if i had it to do over again i would buy one that has GPS and false alarm lockout
    • The detector itself is wonderful, as many reviewers have repeatedly written.
    • Really good radar detector.
    • The detector offers good to excellent range on virtually every type of radar, still has the same laser limitations of other detectors (get a jammer), looks really good in person, has a lot of features that let you customize your unit for you, and is VERY easy to use
    • I was regularly taking the detector off my windshield and after a while it just broke
    • Even worse ... I have driven by a trooper parked in the medium strip and one parked along the side of the road (obvious radar traps), and the detector stayed silent
    • Great detector.
    • Worst detector I ever had.
    • This unit seems to have as many if not more false alarms as my old detector.
    • My old detector (not an escort) is going on 6-8 years old now and has always worked great until recently I have been getting a lot of false alarms.
    • The smartcord also has a mute button, which makes it easy to mute if the detector picks up a false alarm
    • Don't expect this detector to save you from laser though - like all radar detectors, it simply can't warn ahead of time for speed traps using laser.
    • Great radar detector, worth every penny!
    • Excellent radar detector.
    • This is by far the best radar detector I've ever used
    • Excellent detector.
    • This is not the detector's fault.

    • On highways this detector is amazing
    • and it is THE BEST radar detector we've ever owned
    • When my package arrived, I opened it to find a really nice box that contained a hard carrying case, Window mount, smart cord, and the detector itself
    • Because of these reasons this detector really isn't useful anymore
    • The detector offers good to excellent range on virtually every type of radar, still has the same laser limitations of other detectors (get a jammer), looks really good in person, has a lot of features that let you customize your unit for you, and is VERY easy to use
    • Overall great product and highly recommend over the cheaper radar detectors.
    • Great radar detector for the price.
    • Excellent radar detector
    • The alert also seems to distort when the detector gets hot, this does not affect the usability, but it does sound odd.10/10 for the ability to detect radar guns.
    • Great detector
    • After owning this product for over a year, and after having also used the 8500IX and the Redline, I have to say that this is still a solid little detector
    • This is a great detector with the best range of any that I have used thus far
    • Other than that, this is a great detector.
    • This detector works great!
    • I highly recommend this radar detector.
    • It still is a great detector, but because of the false alerts I had to return it.
    • This isnt a cheap radar detector but not all are created equal
    • This is a great detector,I have picked up radar over 2 miles away before with unit just like this one
    • Lastly, even with a good radar detector, situational awareness, constant vigilance, and good reactions are a must
    • Even if this was the best detector on the market I would not purchase it or anything else from Escort
    • The detector works great
    • This is by far the best radar detector on the market
    • , the detector goes crazy when I reach the corner where I turn, about 1/4 mile away.
    • Great radar detector.
