i love my Bel Vector 995. but any radar detector for the price of $300 + is very very good. i got mine brand new on ebay for $200. this is something i didnt go cheap on, and its payed for itself about 10x over.

He said it Beltronics Vector series is really good. I get an average of 2 minutes early alert if he leaves the gun on. I have the 945. The 995 is great it is 6 times more sensitive than the 945.

I’ve heard the Phazer II is really good, it’s supposed to disable the police’s radar gun so they can’t clock your speed.

the four BEST radars in no particular order are the Escort Passport 8500 X50, the Valentine One (V1), and the Beltronics RX65 and the STi.
Do not rely on radar detectors 100 percent of time even with these. Cops use instant on radar that gets your speed quick and you’ll radar will pick it up too late to slow down. Always use a “rabbit” (follow another speeding car!!) A rabbit sets off instant on traps first so your radar can pick it up.
To add further protection against laser, get a laser jammer. Not easy to pick the right one and not easy to install but its indispensable for jamming the cops laser gun so you have time to slow down. The radars have laser detection but its just as good as warning you to pull over.
