"I used the 8500 on a trip from Dallas to West Palm Beach. It worked beautifully and saved my behind on at least 5 occassions. Great early detection was the key and it can detect enough bands that you won't get caught doing what you shouldn't be doing to begin with. A bit pricey but if you have a lead foot like me it will pay itself off in no time. Works great around town as well. Great fuzzbuster !"

"Lives up to all the reviews! I say this because I really haven't heard any negative feedback. It's easy to use, looks great, and the range is really great too.
One thing I was really happy about was the secure mounting of the suction cups while the unit stays level. I ordered my direct wire to give it the clean custom look for it's final touch!"

"The trip was approximately 900 miles each way and did not get any tickets. Radar was most pronounced in the Florida panhandle and the Escort did much to eliminate the stress of constantly monitoring the speedometer."

"I havent extensivlely used it yet, but the Passport 8500 seems to be a very good detector.
The Ka band seems to be very popular though and a lot of the warnings in Ka are privately generated. That might cause you to put down your guard and not react fast enough to legitimate warnings - probably not a very easy way around this, since some law enforcement might use Ka as well."

"Used the detector for the first time this weekend, from Houston to our ranch in west Texas. I would have been stopped a minimum of four times for sure, if I did not have the Escort. I never believed in radar detectors, but to sound like an infomercial 'I'm a believer'..... Worth every penny."

"The Escort 8500 X50 works as advertised. For night time, I like the red display with dimming capability. I am well satisfied. This my third detector and by far the best. Bill"

"I am very happy with my Escort 8500 X50. It has saved me from several tickets so far. I do like to drive fast in my Dodge Charger and the reception on this detector is quite good."
