Performs well for a cordless.
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...

Whistler XTR-185
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.

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.

Detector turns itself off if it gets hit with a strong radar signal. Solar assist for battery charge seems non existent. I am throwing it away and buying something else

This review is from: Whistler XTR-185 Solar Powered Cordless Radar Detector (Electronics)
Avery practical product given that it operates as cordless and that the batteries can be charged through the car's cigarette lighter/current or through one's battery charger; also it becomes charged from its solar panel. It takes a while to learn what all the beeps and sounds that come out of it indicate. Also, there are no indications of when the batteries are charged in the enclosed instructions; only how to charge them. (I had to e-mail the manufacture to get this.)I would have liked one that includes a compass (as did my previous detector), but these evidently are not manufactures any longer. |
