Piggies don't stand a chance!

Date of Review:  Oct 13, 2005
Review: I got this off of Ebay for $269, and it's awesome. I took it out of the box and drove around all day. I was tired of being on constant deferred adjudication for speeding tickets. Awesome range...just today, it picked up overhill, around a curve, and...

Accurate and reliable

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2009
The Bottom Line: Fantastic, I wouldn't jump in my car without it anymore.
Review:  
The Escort Passport 8500 radar detector is one of the best performing radar detectors on the market today, and everyone who I know who owns one, loves it.  Along with superior performance, the 8500 features a multiple contact display which can...

Buyer Beware

Date of Review:  Jul 30, 2009
Review: I am fairly new to the escort brand; my girlfriend has a 7500 and i was amazed at how few falses she gets.  With the X band off, she gets only a rare K band false (and that is in a parking lot of store with a motion detector). My 8500 performed like...

Some defective stock

Date of Review:  Sep 26, 2006
Review: I've loved every one of the 5 ancestor models I've owned over the years. My first x50 was wonderful. It was stolen along with my car a few months back. The replacement appeared to work for a week, then did a couple 'self sync' cycles, followed by a...

Don't buy escort 8500 x50

Date of Review:  May 19, 2007
Review: I bought an 8500 x50 March 15th. It worked for two weeks ok. Then upon a start up I got alarms for x, k and ka bands. Full bars and tones alternating between the 3. Unfortunately, I just missed Best Buys 2 week return policy. So I spent 20 bucks to...

BEST DETECTOR ON THE MARKET

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2007
Review: This detector is the best. Never gives false alerts and works well in the city because it never goes off because of sliding doors and other detectors. All of my other detectors I have owned in the past go crazy when driving through the city...

Great Radar Detector

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2007
Review: Very impressive radar detector. I thought about splurging and getting the 9500i for the Mark Location feature, but the x50 has worked very well. The range is huge and I'm not getting as many falses as my last radar detector. I'm sure it's saved me a...

Defective

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2008
Review: I got a 8500 x50 blue in 2006. First one was defective.... it kept showing "Service Required" messages. The replacement just died in July 2008 -- it won't turn on. It seems to have this trouble on/off for some time but a simple unplug/plug would fix...

Ka Band defense at last!

Date of Review:  May 27, 2006
Review: I have used so many detectors, that I have lost count. Most of which have been $100.00 or less. I had a Bel 895 Express as my last detector, and it did an ok job of detecting. The problem in my area is that most of the local city cops and highway...
