"It is a great product overall. But at times i will see a police officer before my radar even picks it up. It does not work to well like if your going around a corner and then a cop is right there then it will start going off. It does work though because it has saved me once or twice. But if you want to go all out, i would go with the Passport 9500i. But if this is your first one, then i would go with this radar!"

"First one was stolen and picking the replacement was a simple choice. These radar/laser detectors won't give you the best range available but they'll give you enough. More range = more alerts, most of which will not apply to you. It's still up to you to remain observant & alert. I've been saved numerous time going through "Alligator Alley" I-75 to Miami. You'd be suprised how many cops leave there radar guns on, and they still catch plenty speeders. I have been Lasered twice but saw the cops before the detector went off and slowed down enough to avoid a ticket. Both times were direct hits. The laser detector isn't going to save you if you don't see them first or before they get a lock on you. I have had many false alerts on laser, always in the same spot of Tampa by the airport, I have no idea what causes this. I originaly bought this detector because I didn't need another cord cluttering my vehicle, now I'm convinced there is no better cordless detector out there. Battery life is acceptable and the built-in motion sensor does help to conserve power. This detector comes highly recomended, you won't be disappointed."

Goes head to head with any non-cordless detector

"I've had this radar detector for two weeks now. I've been impressed by it since I put it in my car. I'm coming from a Bel 980, and was skeptical of the cordless detectors. The only weakness of this detector is that its not explosively loud, but its loud enough. Features I really like: Very few false alarms Good range - equal to or better than my 980 Screen is only on when something is being detected (no bright display at night) and NO CORDS, battery life is better than I expected. I drive alot, so I figured I'd put a pretty good hurt on the life, but after two hard weeks of driving, it JUST went to 3/4 life yesterday. Overall, its a great detector. Those skeptical of the cordless like me, this will make you a believer."

"I have been using the Solo S2 for about a month. I am very pleased with my purchase. It is small and unobtrusive in the top left corner of my windshield. I think it was well worth the money because I was looking for a small,cordless radar detector."

"I think it is the best thing i have bought. It really has saved me a lot of money in police tickets. It detects police patrols before I have seen them. Actually, my husband had one in his car and when i bought my BMW 335 i had to have one!. I surelly recommend it!!!!"

"Purchased this because I previously owned the Escort 850 model. I liked it very much but was starting to get annoyed by the power cord so I thought I'd try this model. So far I'm very happy. Highly sensitive. No limitation to placement on the windshield which is great. I like the auto off/auto on feature. Well worth the investment."

"First battery powered unit that I have owned and had some concerns about battery life and radar detection. Works as well as any of the Escort/Beltronics detectors that I've used and is very easy on batteries. Battery continues to show full after 40+ hours of use."
