Buy Radar Detectors - The Blog

We are excited to now have the Bel Express 795 radar detector in stock. This model was originally made by Beltronics specifically for sale at Radio Shack, but we took advantage of an opportunity to pick up a quantity of them on closeout.

This model is similar to the (now discontinued) Bel 925, with a few exceptions. The 925 had selectable voice alerts, but the 795 only supports tone alerts. Both models had LED displays, but the 925 had a numeric signal strength indicator while the 795 has 4 red LEDs to indicate signal strength.

One benefit that the 795 has over the 925 (and 935) is that it is compatible with the SmartPlug power cord. I couldn't find this mentioned in the owners manual or on Bel's web site, but I tested it with the SmartPlug and it worked like a champ!

As far as performance, it is going to be tough to find a detector for less than $100 to beat this one. This is confirmed by RadarTest.com's review of the 795 in which Craig Peterson calls it "spectacular".

3/14/07 UPDATE: The Bel Express 795 has been discontinued, and is no longer available.
