Customer Review: Good Product for the Price
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this product to become more aware of my surroundings and i believe it does the job. Its not going to be outstanding because its not high quality, but it will be consistent with alerts. I live in a very urban environment, so the detector will pick up signals from automatic sliding store doors, but other than that, it works pretty well. i have used the nice $500 detectors and the only difference is the precise sensitivity and the other features besides detecting radars and lasers. Also, the range on the expensive models is far superior. If you are in the market for a reasonable detector that is basic and consistent, then this fits your criteria.Customer Review: Horrible! Waste of money!

I wasted money on this and got a ticket the first time I used it! I trusted it again thinking that it was maybe a fluke the first time. I got another ticket and this time the silly thing didn't even go off! Of course, if you're worried about getting pulled over and a ticket from the electronic double doors of a grocery store, this is the radar detector for you. That's really the only time it makes a noise is when it detects electronic double doors. I would say 4 out of 5 times I've passed a patrol car that I saw was definitely running radar, this thing stayed quiet. It's a piece of junk. You get what you pay for. Don't waste your money on this.Customer Review: You get what you pay for - it stinks

This radar detector stinks. I put this in a second car after having a more high priced detector by another mftr in my car for the last 2 or 3 years. So I got used to good performance and always had plenty of warning - long before I could see the cop I heard him. But now with the Whistler XTR-140 I am hugely disapointed. The only thing that seems to set it off are the signals generated by stop lights and roadside DOT signs. It does light up like a Christmas tree when approaching a stop light but not when cops are shooting you, even "townies" with old style radar are not picked up. I'm going to hang this puppy on my Christmas tree and enjoy the lights.Customer Review: Great Fuzz buster!

This detector has saved me already a few times on the highway. I purchased it because I used to drive a sluggish SUV, and now find my self driving a new sports coup far faster than I am used to. To be on the safe side, I got this to be precautionary. The distance it can detect in a straight line is great. I do have questions about how well it can detect from behind but so far so good. I do like the blue lights that go off to alert you, but they will make you jumpy when driving at night on the highway and they go off like a cop is already on your tail. Great for price and like the City mode that mutes false alerts.
