only bel sti, escort passport 8500 or better and V1 are worth using. Everything else is trash imo. I own a passport 8500 x50 and used to own a cobra and have used my friends whistler and both were lousy. Stick to the bel/passport/v1 ---

I have not used any Cobra detectors because based on all of the reviews, it wasn’t worth my time. ---

I had a cobra one of the newer models… gave it to my brother when I bought the V1 😕 he got a speeding ticket with it last week… said it was crap and just gave him a false sense of security… ---
