this thing is awesome

First thing to go and is the most common problem is the laser detector.

This thing is great usually warned at least a mile out

This thing is great

This thing is amazing.

This thing works awesome I am picking up fuzz from over 2 miles away awesome investment

The best thing it has is auto Mute

I find the Valentine 1's too bulky, so this was the next best thing (yeah

There were a few false alarms, but overall this thing worked like a charm

only bad thing is security cameras and automatic

and i dont regret a thing

The actual detector technology used in the 8500X50 is the same as the 9500ix, so the only thing you are really sacrificing is the gps capability - which is restored when used with the Escort Live App in your iPhone or Android device.

full disclosure, my last experience with a detector was several years ago - K band was the hot new thing at the time - and I was rocking a brand new Belltronics that saved me countless times (and failed me twice - thanks "instant on" K band radar

I have had ZERO SPEEDING TICKETS since my first one... these things are great

This thing really shines on the highway

With some tweaking this thing works great though.

It's very sensitive to ambient signals which is a great thing, especially when traveling open stretches of highway

Thing works

Oh sweet baby jesus I love this thing

Man, I love this thing

Only good thing about having this detector is that it prevents me from ever falling asleep at the wheel!

It doesn't have the best range, and it lacks a lot of convenience features, but for ~$200 detector, this thing really isn't bad

This thing is awesome!

Don't know what I would do without this amazing little thing!!!

Love this thing and has saved me big time.

I've read good things about the 8500 X50 Black

Without a true Automute feature this thing is just too annoying.

Because of the accuracy of real radar threats, it's easy to tell if it's just a false alarm or the real thing.

The bad thing is that you dont know where the cop is but then again, I just slow down when it goes off on the freeway
