top budget detector - Michael J. Balisky, May 13, 2008

After reading all the reviews about this detector, I finally decided to buy it, after having it a week it picked up a cop hidden on an overpass and saved me, its good to switch the X band off on city mode cause driving around a business district can get very annoying, mounts not bad and the cord is fine, I wish the cord jack into the unit was on the left side instead of the right though, other than that stupid thing I'm very pleased with my purchase and suggest the same product to others...

BEL Vector 955 - A. Pseudonym, May 11, 2008

This detector does a reasonably good job, however I wouldn't bet my wallet on it. So far it appears to give sufficient warning to allow me to be alert. Extraneous alarms are minimal.

Great for the money...one flaw - T. J. Heaney, Apr 29, 2008

I'm not about to spend 400 dollars on a radar detector anymore. I loved my Valentine One because it simply worked well. But it is too expensive. Anyway this one works great. The only flaw is the silver top. Why not keep it black? When I look into the windshield I see two radar detectors...the regular one and the reflection. That is a bit picky I guess. I really like that I can adjust the brightness of the display. Iery user friendly.

Love to be able to outsmart the smokies! - James Lindberg, Apr 08, 2008

I've given this a good 2 months before I wrote my review. I've read a lot of the false alert claims and other issues (the silver reflects? Really, is that a problem? tsk tsk). Thankfully, I am very pleased with the BEL Vector 955.

I drive 150 miles roundtrip every day to work. I leave it on autoscan in the city and the false alerts are X band. You can easily block out the X band to remove these false alerts.

When on the highway and in highway mode, which is always preferred for best performance, I rarely pick up a false signal. Mostly, it's an X band signal false alert. However, I do get laser false alerts as when you hit direct sunlight, this will produce laser alerts. I hit the mute button when I get these and it's really not a big problem. Besides, the only few times I've had a real laser alert, I saw the officers before hand and was able to slow before they "shot me". Laser alert in my mind, is probably useless.

Voice alert. I think it's mostly a good gimmick, especially if you rock out as the voice isn't very loud. Plus, the voice is 2 or 3 seconds after the detector goes off, and I ALWAYS look when I get the first warning anyway.

I am well please with the unit and will be buying another for my wife. It has already saved my bacon at least 4 or 5 times and with a minimum $150 ticket, it's paid for itself also.
