We consider the Escort 9500ix radar detector to be one of the best models around. Compared to other top end models, this is the only radar detector that offers so many useful features balanced with such high levels of performance. While others in the same price range exceed it in one or two areas, none of them offer such a complete package. With excellent radar detection range and reaction time, red light and speed camera notifications, software updatability and phenomenal filtering, the 9500ix offers the most for the money compared to its competition.

In this video we investigate a couple of mysteries. Are the Beltronics Vector series radar detectors as different in performance as Beltronics claims? What are the real differences between the Vector 940, Vector 955, and Vector 995?
The Beltronics Vector 995 radar detector is for those that like a good deal, want incredible performance for the money, demand reliability, and also all the options. Take the power of the 940 and 955, toss in some more features, a smart cord and even a case you have the 995. Yes, the 995 is the fearsome offspring off its powerhouse Vector parents. Some of the big boy detectors cringe when this bully is around with its affordable and amazing power!
The Beltronics Vector 955 radar detector is a budget powerhouse. This unassuming monster offers incredible performance for the money, good filtering, and just the right amount of features. The 955 is an industry secret. Nope nothing to see here, not perhaps the best radar detector for the dollar, nope, no price taunting, big boy challenging, police radar catching hyper machine here!
The Beltronics Vector 940 radar detector offer impressive performance at an insane price. If you want pure police radar detection range and sensitivity and could care less about anything else, then you might find the 940 to be one of the best radar detectors around. It has a mad price, mad performance, and might need a bit of therapy. Warning, this model is known to pick on other radar detectors, tease them and steal their significant other!
