I definitely agree with you if you have a lower end detector. However, in my experience, I have had mine for almost 2 years and it has saved me multiple times.
It does depend on a lot of things though which is why a detector doesn't guarantee you will never get a ticket. It only helps with one of the many ways officers can catch you speeding. You definitely have to realize that and make sure you aren't putting all of your trust in your detector.
Also, i have mine mounted right under my rear-view mirror and hard wired in so there are no hanging wires so it is a little harder to see. Of course the officers I have talked to about detectors have said that basically if they catch you speeding and see a detector, it is a guaranteed ticket.
