I received this item very quickly and used it for a trip down to Florida and back. It works well with few false alarms and two mounting options are nice. I’d recommend this product

I bought this for my husband. We’ve had it about 3 weeks now. The only time the thing has ever gone off is in front of stores. We’ve passed several cops,and it doesn’t do a thing. No matter what setting we have it on. Perhaps we got a faulty one. I’ll never know. All I know is we we’re driving home the other day and there was a cop on the side of the road visably running radar, pointed right at us, and the detector never even made a sound. Didn’t even pick it up. Oh well. $35.00 wasted.

I have four vehicles that I am “accountable” for. With the latest addition of number four came my fourth Cobra and the latest technology with 9 bands. I like things simple and effective. This has the same mount, the same jack input and the basically the same simple functionality as the other three. It is a little more precise as it can pick up a signal a bit quicker than the three year old one I also have.

My thinking right or wrong:

They all work extremely well for my needs from a 911 to a Standard Company Issued Impala

The total of all four detectors was under $200.

Someone will think twice about breaking a window and stealing a $40 Price Brand Cobra given the risk for return on a resale is limited to 10 bux maybe??

I like the Cobra line of detectors!

When I bought this radar detector I was at first questioning it because it was the cheapest one and a few days went by where I seen no cop and I wasnt sure if it was working, until I was coming home from my girl friends house at around 1:30 in the morning and it started beeping, I slowed down and looked around and seen no lights and I thought I was the only one on the road then I started goin down a big hill and it stoped beeping then as I got back up the other side of the hill it started beeping again so I thought the thing was junk then the radar dector started going nuts and then I seen the cop sitting off to the side with all its lights off (which is allowed in the state of Indiana) and was happy that I had the radar detector, because I would of probably gotten a speeding ticket. I figured the radar detector picked up the cop about a mile before I seen him so all in all it was a great purchase and I am very pleased with it.

I like it so far, it beeped sufficiently ahead of time before I actually saw the police car. There are some false alarms but that is to be expected in the city & is not a big deal. For $40, I must say I am quite satisfied with this product.
