Rating  - worth its price
I bought this for $70 on a deal. This is my 1st detector and really worth the money. After my research for 2 months I made up my mind to buy this. I saved a couple of tickets. It works well for regular base user and alerts well before u see the cop. U have enough time to reduce ur seed before beign caught.
Only problem is it detects many 'K' bands used by local stores. So u can see from this that this detector detects even the bands which are not in the line of the car path.
A really great feature is the signal strength it shows when it catches a band. If the cop is hidden far away from the road then the signal strength is less but still u get the alert. Voice prompts are clear. I recommend this for a 'budget' minded buyer.
Rating  - Works great as long as you're smart
I agree this product works great. The only time I've been close to being pulled over since I got it was the one time I got lasered. There's not much any legal detector can do about this. But it does give you the chance to slow down. The way the laser radar works is that the cops specifically are aiming at your car and may not have radared previous cars so there is nothing for the detector to pick up until you're screwed. Other than that it's great especially if you have a car that likes to go fast.
Rating  - Early days but!
I haven't quite got to trusting this detector yet, its the first one I've owned. Seems OK for Ka open road cruising.
It was easy to setup, basically "plug and play", the compass calibration was easy and seemed to point me in the correct direction.
The voice prompts are good, as well as tones for different bands. The CITY 2 mode is great around town and definitely eliminates X band.
Open road performance - well its definitely saved me once in town, on Ka band, enough time to scrub some speed off. It seems to be good at picking up Ka when the cop has it on all the time, about 300 metres with a crest in the way! Still don't know about instant on, haven't picked up any scatter.
Haven't had a beep out of it for Laser yet.
Speed cameras - I don't think it works with the NZ speed camera (mobiles). Did a test with one parked on a street, no beeps until beside the van!
I think it is going to be good for open road driving and Ka radar in NZ,esepcially if the cop has his radar on all the time, just need to see how it goes on some of my favourite roads that are fast and curvey!
Definitely good value for money, as I didn't want to spend too much on a detector...
