Escort Radar Detector Review

Hi There, my name is Eddie. I’ve been driving since 1991 and never had a problem with the law. That is, until I was caught ’speeding’ (roughly) in 1994. The problem was that I was not! Honest to god, I was driving in the speed limit. But I was not able to convince anyone, received a hefty fine and had to attend a course. It was then that I found out that radar guns occasionally make mistakes, but most people give up at this point, pay the fine, and move on. I found myself afraid every time a police car lurked in the corner: will I be accused of speeding again?

That is when my interest in Radar detectors and Radar jammers began. Since then I’ve learned a great deal about radar detectors and used them whenever I could (they’re not legal in all countries). As I have lived in several countries in three different continents: the US, Europe, and the Middle East, and have driven a lot of cars, there were plenty of occasions for me to feel the need to protect myself from the local policeman with the faulty radar gun who is looking to give someone a fine (I’m sure you know the type…). However, that someone is never me. Don’t get met wrong, I don’t encourage speeding, but it pretty unpleasant to be punished for something you did not do, nor it is pleasant to drive in fear.

That is why I’ve decided to create this site, to help you, the reader, find the best radar detector for your needs. I created reviews for all Escort products. Each item is thoroughly analyzed using various criteria: Price, Bands, False Alerts, Features, GPS capability, Detectability (the following article discusses this at greater length). Yes, I included price as well, since it is a major component in the decision making process: unfortunately, not everyone can afford the most expensive radar detector, so my goal is to help you find the best bang for the back, i.e. find the best radar detector considering all aspects of the device as well as its price.

Why Escort Radar Detectors? Over the years I’ve had a couple of their devices, and several friends of mine purchased some as well (following my advice), and it is my belief that they offer the best products in the market.

I hope this website helps you find the right radar detector for your needs. Even though my first radar detector was the cheapest I could afford, it still served me well. Then again, if I could afford one with GPS capabilities (not that one existed then), then I certainly would buy one.

Please contact me if you have any suggestions, criticisms, questions or just want to say hello. It is my pleasure to be of help!

Sincerely,

Eddie S.
