This review sums it all up for me. The Uniden R3 performs better in regards to all-out range of detection. The Max 360C (the current model) has more features that make living with the detector easier and give you more situational awareness (knowing where the radar is can be helpful and being able to draw on other user's findings is EXTREMELY helpful). MY pick is still the Escort...anyone who goes with the Uniden or V1 is likely happy with their choice too. If Uniden started building in the features that Escort has, it might become a winner for me but right now the slightly less detection sensitivity is fine for me given all the other functions more than making up for it (in my driving situation).

I love my escort. I've had it for years. I used to get tickets all the time until I bought that.

So I guess cobras and whistlers radar detectors are out of the question. Depending on your daily highway routine. However they are one of the earliest models in the competition for radar detectors. I'm talking everyone had one back in the day, like year 2000-2006. Probably find one on amazon for $30 bucks now and days . Sorry for being late to the party on this one but I had get my 2 cents in. Granted valentine's are top of line, and top dollar quality.

Nowadays filtering is just as important as sensitivity. Without adequate filtering a radar detector will constantly alert because of all of the blind spot monitoring out there - that can lead you to (1) go crazy, and (2) start to ignore your alerts.
I used to have an Escort Redline - it was excellent until BSM became more common - I had to get rid of it. |

I have an Escort 9500 from 2008, and get fals alarms up the wazzoo with all the blind spot and radar cruise out there now. I called Escort and spoke to an engineer and he sais when all the radar monitoring first came out the mfgs promised them they would use different frequencies than the bandwith used for police radar. Well, they didn't, and there is no way to upgrade sigtware on older radar detectors to filter out the radar used on modern cars. He said as of now only the Max 360 can filter because its the first ine they made with all new software and filtering. None of their other detectors can filter yet, not until they trickle down their new software design to the cheaper detectors.
