Pros: Nice looking; Windshield mounting is good; Good luminated 'icons' as indicators.
Cons: can't seem to detect anything from the police.
The Bottom Line: Don't buy it, even for a cheap price. It doesn't worth anything if it can't detect.

| chunich's Full Review: Cobra Electronics ESD 9100 Radar Detector |
I bought this radar 2 weeks ago and tried it on immediately. It didn't give me any warning in the city mode or anywhere else. So I kept testing it in the city, until a few times when I drive on the highway from Waukesha to Madison - a 64-mile drive - My radar was silent when I got a vision of the police cars in the middle of the road. It REMAINS SILENT when I passed the police. I was pretty mad at its performance and wondered if the police had changed their radar guns or what. They had to be shooting at people the way they parked their cars facing both directions of the highway.
The same thing happened on my way back and I started to get annoyed by this 9100 radar. I wanted to have a refund but the online store says that I can only return a defective one. So I sold it at eBay and bid for another radar. It'd be shipping out soon - Bel 980.
Expect to see my opinion later on in Bel's section.
