Escort - Max 360 Radar Detector for Most Vehicles - Black

Have had several escort over the last 20 years. Have always been satisfied with the product. Mostly on the service side, purchase this Max 360 to send older model in to get service on it. Then find out you have a list of serviceable detectors. Had I known this upfront I'd have probably reconsidered this purchase. Would have bought Valentine.

The 4 star rating is for users like me who are in urban city with mostly photo enforcement; this type of unit is basically 'plug+play'. Perhaps the ideal radar detector would be a combination of the longest range and fastest reacting to legitimate radar being used by LEO, but with filtering and added logarithms to weed out false signals, most detectors do not go off for what seems a long time. Since it's really difficult to speed in urban city, GPS feature and the arrows makes up for the slightly shorter radar range, but is still acceptable. If your detector goes off to LIDAR/laser, it's basically too late, so my 4 star rating excludes rating the LIDAR/laser part of the unit.

Can you direct me to more detailed use of the device? For example when I go over the speed limit it whispers something, I can't understand what it's saying. Also what do all the different radar warnings mean, like k, Ka, and what does all the lights going red mean?

First month...So far so good. I love the dual antennas. Lets you know the direction of the signal which is extremely useful. Glad Valentines patent expired. Max 360 has bluetooth so you can use your phone to change options in the menu....which is very handy compared to regular menu on the device itself. Add'l options are available thru that menu as well. Its a quiet detector as it blocks false signals well. And gets quieter as it learns locations of additional false signals to block.

The detector is great, the service not so much, I asked and paid for two day delivery ffrom FedEx, through the order taker on the phone, I did not receive until five days later, I called back to your office and after over no less than 10 tries I got through to sales and told them I expected my two day fed ex charge I paid for back, I was told I would have to call to customer service, your sales person switched me over to customer service where I got an auto Ed voice saying the vm was full, I tried calling back several times over several days with the same message. You make a helluva product but your service rates a zero. I than go on line later to see this is a Dailey occurrence now with your company. I have bought several radar detectors from your company and I believe this will be the last one I buy from what once was a good company. you make a great product and the sales person I spoke with was excellent, in fact I believe I have purchased from her before. I would fix your customer service issue or I suspect you will be losing more repeat customers like me, or perhaps you already are, either way good luck to your company, I really hope someone in upper management reads these comments and is trying to repair your reputation, because based on what I am reading on line it is going down fast, , again good luck !!
