    • The radar works great, but this one has cracked and peeled after 3 months on the windshield.
    • Reliable detects radars within 1.5mi, and gives very few false alerts
    • Great radar for the price
    • It's a good radar detector but I wish it would give me a bigger range.
    • Best radar detector for the money, performance is outstanding.
    • 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.
    • Excellent radar and laser, so far protected me 100%.
    • Best radar detector out there
    • Good radar, I got busted once while a cop was using pop radar

    • Can I say that it is among the best wired radars on the market?
    • No issues picking up radar and laser signals
    • If you are in the market for a good radar detector, then why not buy the best
    • Once you get use to the reception signals, the 8500 is a reliable radar detector
    • The best radar detector I have ever owned
    • 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

    • Great radar detector, but I hear more and more people complaining about this thing dying on them why updating and you have to update to get the latest speed traps and red light cameras
    • I can be out in the middle of nowhere with no other cars or buildings around and this thing will occasionally indicate a relatively strong radar detected.
    • This is a good radar detector.
    • Bottom line: I'd recommend this radar to anyone who wants to spend at least 200$-300$ on a radar, I was stuck between the Beltronics V10 to this 8500 x50, and I've gotten to the conclusion that the Escort is better in my area where I live.5/5

    • I have always wondered how well radar detectors actual work
    • Great radar detector for around town or highway
    • I have tried the more expensive passport radars, as well as the valentine 1, and countless others.

    • Good radar detector and is easy to program the filtering features.

    • We've had this radar for a few years now and it is still a great radar however with the addition of new cars using K band for the lane switching sensors it goes off on the highway ALL the time
    • This is a really good radar
    • Awesome radar
    • This unit is excellent for highway travel as most highway patrol use KA radar and keep it running so they are easy to spot with the x50... i turn off x band as it is pretty much not used by law enforcement cruisers
    • In my area, K band isn't used and X band isn't used in most places, so I turned those bands off and the radar is extremely quiet with very few false alarms
    • I personally believe Escort makes the best radar detectors out in the market right now
    • Best cost efficient radar detector
    • Best radar for the price
    • The radar works great, but this one has cracked and peeled after 3 months on the windshield.
    • Either way, false positives aside, it does pick up on the "bad" radar and has a great range

    • 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
