when i got mine the 1st time it started to go off i was wondering where the hell the cop was so i jus kept driving speed limit and it was going off for a good mile literally til i got to the stop light and as i was waiting to turn i finally see the cop coming in the opposite direction i was but now sometimes it seems like its not up to par with the way it should be but im not sure if its the other things affecting its performance like the other cars behind me trying to use me for shield *shakes fist* or alot of the cars in front of me blocking the laser but 95% of the time its incredible. before this radar i had the passport 6800 that is until i got jacked at gunpoint that radar was amzing but overall id recommend the 8500 i havent tested the valentine so im not sure but i hear good things

Well theres a companny called Blinder http://blinderusa.com/ They sell a Laser Jammer that works great but you cant get away with it. a cop will aim at you with his laser gun and if he doesnt get a reading on your car he trys a difrent car and if that works he aims it back on your car and still no reading he will pull you over. He will ask you to pop the hood. issue you a fine and take the device.

I have and 8500 and it has worked fine for me so far. It probably takes a little more time getting used to than the Valentine 1 because the Valentine has the arrows. I think I paid like $260.00 for it plus shipping. So it's considerably cheaper than the the Valentine 1. Maybe next time I'll try the Valentine 1 but the price is kind of steep.
Oh here's a link to cheap price for the Passport:

Don't know how long it will last.

From personal experience with both the 8500 and the Valentine One, when both are mounted equally, Valentine One owns the 8500 hands down.

Thats the link to comparison tests. To all the latests detectors.
Here is the link to the home page:

This site is an excellent source of info. I do think Bell/Escort does pay to get theirs advertise the best. After all, everything is about advertising.
This site use to have a video, it still might but I can't find it, of that guy radar Roy driving a car, with a bunch of different detectors, heading in the direction of a guy setup with a radar gun shooting him, the first detector to go off was the valentine One and then the 8500 went off after he got something like 400 feet closer to the radar gun.
Recently I heard that this thing is suppose to be insane. But then again it does cost 1200 after installation so that is a bit nuts to me.

Just my 2 cents, my valentine one will be on the way shortly.
Hope this helps some of you.

my dad has the 8500, its great but it still doesnt tell you where the cop is, but it does do everything thing else a little better then the valentine one. Plus when cops update their guns you can send it to Escort and they will update it and all you have to pay for is shipping.

i was reading MOTOR TREND a while back and it did the radar shootout. and the 8500 came in first with a 97 and the valentine came in 3rd with an 77 or an 87. not sure which one. yet the valentine claimed they came in first.
i have an 8500 and it has saved me so many times. honestly why does it need arrows. imo its sort of useless cause when the thing goes off no matter what your going to have to slow down. but thats just me
