great detector with a crappy power cord [Posted on 2008-07-30]
The smart cord needs replacing about every year because it always shorts out near the modular plug. I bought a different detector just so I won't have to keep on paying Escort for more cords.
Excellent [Posted on 2008-08-09]
I have been using it on and off for the last month or so. It works great, I have had very little false alarms, I recommend it to every passionate driver.
Great Detector [Posted on 2008-08-14]
I've had this detector one month now and very impressed with it. The first thing that I noticed was how many fewer falses that I get than compared to the Whistler Pro 78 or Bel V955 which I have used. I do mostly city driving with it and usually get about a half to one mile warning. It costs a lot more but you get what you pay for in radar detectors. One thing to remember laser is deadly. No detector will give you enough if any warning time from a laser gun.
Won't last [Posted on 2008-08-20]
Well after a year or so, especially if it's exposed to any kind of heat, the capacitors wear out and you're gonna start to get a slew of "false laser" alerts. The customer service folks will politely explain that you can send it back for $60 and hope they will fix it ... :-(
Police catcher [Posted on 2008-08-31]
So far 3 tickets the police will write someone else I drive a Bently and their always looking at me even if I'm not speeding this car has lots of power so it's easy to forget what's the speed limit special on the open roads of FL. the Escort 8500 x50 has not let me down yet it's worth every penny I'm very rich and rich people pays very close attention to their investments with that said this would be a better buy forget the blue one alls the same I got the red because it matches my console .
