| wkdf's Full Review: Cobra Electronics ESD 9110 Radar Detector |
I took this detector for a test drive a couple of months ago and wish I hadn't! Compared to comparable, no, much cheaper Whistlers it just doesn't stack up. Low range in all but X band. Easily set off by other radar detectors causing nose dives for no reason. Gets confused on which band it's picking up. A little pricey in it's class.
There is a plus side though...great ergonomics, great audio and visual displays, good looks, well built, an interesting false signal killer that depends on your engine RPM's but it doesn't work well with a stick shift...but what good is all this if it just plain doesn't work...buy a Whistler.
