Radar Detector

I've had a few close experiences with some cops and I keep getting told to get a radar detector. Im actually interested in buying one, but i don't want a cheap BS one that isn't worth crap. I'm looking for a good, well refined one. And could you give me an estimate of the cost?

V-One's are old. Escort Passport 9500ix is the best around. No doubt whatever.

I have an Escort 9500ix in each of my vehicles. No tickets yet and most importantly no annoying false alerts.

The Eescort Passport 9500ix is what I have used for 4.5 years now and highly recommend it. After riding with me a few times, my brother wanted to sell his V1 and get one too. The V1 is a really aged design.
There is few repeat false alerts with it.
You can also try the new Escort Passport Max that arrived three months ago. I heard it's just as nice as the 9500ix with a few more perks.

The Escorts are $450 and $550 respectively.
