    There not good.
    Don't waste the money...The only way I could even see them being half decent is if it was only being use for Radar and not for the "Laser" feature. Which majority of the time that is what a cop is going use to detect your speed with anyway. Don't waste the money between false alerts its not worth it

    That is only the case in bigger cities where they can afford or are willing to purchase laser. Not all places have that. I have only ran across a handful of cops using laser here. Radar detectors are far from a waste of money.

    The first one has been found the most reliable on comparisons over the past few years but the 2nd link looked interesting. Hope this helps.

    I can say that I have several detectors less than $99 that pick up almost as good as my V-1 or Escort/Passports. We have played with them quite a bit even with laser and sometimes they will catch the laser way ahead of you (maybe hitting another car) so they are not completely useless against laser. However if there is not a vehicle in front of you and they tag ya with a laser then your pretty much paying the ticket.
