"Since we got this, we haven't encountered any radar or laser alerts. I trust it will perform well given Escort's reputation and other reviews we read. It certainly doesn't get many false alarms like our old First Alert cheapy did. It's a quality product from one of the leading manufacturers."

great detector

Posted on 02/24/2007 by Blair W. - 2004 Mercury Marauder (Pueblo West,CO)

"I enjoy the detector immensely. This is my upgrade from the 7500, which has 2 sets of suction cups. The 8500 has only 1 set. It would be great if Cincinnatti Microwave would also provide the direct wiring. This is my 3rd Escort and will stay with them. If you read their background, they do the radar systems for the government. They are top notch."
