Best Radar Detectors
Finding the best radar detector is not as simple as just finding the most expensive one available.
There is not a radar detector made that will be the ideal detection solution for every driving
situation. Choosing the best detector for you driving needs has a lot more to do with features and
detection capability than just the price. For example: Many drivers want a detector with the most
features and options, while others want a detector with the most cutting edge technology. The best
radar detector is one that balances the detection you need in your specific driving situations, the
features you like, all at the right price.
In the list below, we have selected some of our detectors we feel covers the above criteria. We have
listed with a brief description tells you what use it is best suited for, and the pros and cons.

The Escort 9500ix is our recommended radar detector for most customers looking for the best all
around model. This detector incorporates GPS technology to eliminate false alerts and to alert
drivers to photo enforcement devices, such as red light and speed cameras. Drivers are also able
to program custom warnings for specific locations for common speed traps, fixed red lights, or speed
cameras. The "AutoLearn" feature of the 9500ix makes for a quiet, stress free driving experience. The
feature cross-references your location with the frequency of the signal and when it encounters the same
signal in the same spot three times, it stores and blocks it out; ensuring that an alert will only
occur when there is a real speed trap. With the Escort 9500ix, you don't have to worry about
sacrificing performance. This detector has been proven time and again to be one of the most sensitive
models on the market.

The Beltronics STi Driver is designed with the professional driver in mind. It is arguably the most
sensitive detector on the market but its biggest benefit is its undetectability. The STi Driver has
a rock solid magnesium case that doesn't "leak" a signal, meaning it is not only completely undetectable
by any "radar detector detector" (RDD) used by police today - it can claim to be immune to any future
RDD as well! This detector is a must for anyone that drives in areas where detectors are illegal, or
for those that require the absolute best sensitivity out there.

The Beltronics RX65 is an all-around solid detector. It has great sensitivity, very good false alert filtering
and an advanced feature set. This model is available with a blue or red text display, supports voice alerts, and
offers advanced functions such as a multiple threat display and Ku band support (useful in Europe). The Beltronics
RX65 is our recommended radar detector for those looking for a solid product, but perhaps not needing advanced
funcionality such as GPS or undetectability.
