it's a nice radar detector and works 100% of the time but it could really use a mute button on the part where it plugs in the car because some times it just gets a little annoying when its beeping constantly, and you have to reach all the way up to the windshield to mute it.

I am very pleased with the Cobra radar detector it performs as represented and the price was excellent.

It is not bad, I use it on the highway mostly. It has one flaw...I noticed it goes off by Wallgreens when their automatic doors open. Other than that, it has alerted me to many of police and emergencey equipment.

This radar detector is the greatest investment i have made for my car by far.
I drive a sports car, have a lead foot, and a speeding ticket, already prior to purchasing this detector. I drive a 45 minute commute everyday to school, and everytime it has beeped and showed up with the radar being shot, there has always been a cop.

It gives you plenty of time to slow down, without getting caught.

Would never drive my own vehicle without one again.

I am a college student that takes both city streets and the highway back and forth from school, work, and my home. All the features on this radar work great. The 360 degree protection is convenient so that you are aware of speed traps on the return trip. It detects speed traps with ample time for you to slow down and avoid a ticket. The reason I did not give this radar a five star rating was because of the limited range it had on radar guns. I have been to close for comfort when the detector when off. Clearly officers have seen me hit the brakes pretty hard when they had their radar guns on. But I still have avoided many tickets with this detector and it was a great deal for the amount of money I paid. Also make sure to set your own settings because the factory settings were to basic. Overall this is a great radar detector.

I bought this product from Amazon about a month ago. I would not recommend this after my experience. I passed by several cop cars on the highway that clearly had radar turned on and the cobra did not alert me. Initially I thought the cop cars did not turn on their radar. However, I passed several electronic speed displays that are setup in neighbourhoods and highways that display speed based on a radar. I saw my speed displayed on the sign but this detector did not go off.

I have a Whistler in my other car and that works very well.

Bought this for my son and placed this detector side by side with my Bel Vector 995 and it alerted almost simultaniously on the K band on a stationary radar unit. I drove by and did multiple test with the same results. I can't speak for any of the other bands, but most of the units around this area are K band with some Ka's. I bought this unit for around $50. I think it's well worth that considering I payed over 4 times that for the Vector.

Radar detectors have gone down in price over the years. A few years back I bought one for 200.00 dollars but if I had to do it again I would. Just like computers the price has dropped significantly but the technology is much better. The Cobra does go off near automatic doors, from my understanding these doors have a radar which tells them that someone is coming. However I also noticed the Cobra catches radars from several miles away so at times it seems like it's going off for no reason but I trust it when it does go off and slow down.

Don't bother getting a different radar detector this one does the trick. Plain and simple don't drive more than 10 (15 if you're a risk taker) and hit brakes as soon as the cobra starts chirping. Do this and you'll never get a ticket again.

I received this as a gift. Well I have gotten two tickets with it since Ive owned it in a month. This thing makes noise like hell, but they are all false alarms. Both my tickets were on interstate and the thing didn't make a peep! If your serious about owning a radar detector, don't be cheap and pay for a good one that will actually work when needed.

The Cobra is not to fault for my tickets, its my lead foot! I will purchase a good detector because it would be nice to have warning so i can slow down and avoid getting a ticket. It will not be a Cobra!
