2.0 out of 5 stars Whistler XTR-185, July 23, 2008

This review is from: Whistler XTR-185 Solar Powered Cordless Radar Detector (Electronics)

I purchased this to replace an Passport that was very happy with, but I wanted a unit that was cordless. If you are considering the XTR-185 because it is cordless, don't bother. The battery life is very poor. Even after sitting in bright sunlight all day long, the unit will only run for about 1.5 - 2 hours. I find myself still having to plug it in frequently.

4.0 out of 5 stars Performs well for a cordless., December 14, 2007

D. Hentze (United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I picked up this detector for around $100 a few months ago, and it has performed well for a cordless model. Sensitivity is good. False alarms are on par with other detectors I've owned. The "solar" feature seems to be a gimmick. I don't think it really adds anything to the battery life. Battery life is pretty good though, and it uses standard rechargable AA's. It's a little on the bulky and heavy side too. It's a good detector, with good coverage, but I would shop around. You can find it for less than $125.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless junk, don't waste your money, November 21, 2010

bestloeh (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Whistler XTR-185 Solar Powered Cordless Radar Detector (Electronics)

Some of the other reviews were very misleading, which was the reason I bought it to give it a try. It turns out to be a useless piece of junk. Never gives out signal when cops are around. When it does give out signal, I can never find any cops around. Now it was in my trash can.
