travis2827's Full Review: Escort Passport 8500 X50 Radar Detector
I am fairly new to the escort brand; my girlfriend has a 7500 and i was amazed at how few falses she gets.  With the X band off, she gets only a rare K band false (and that is in a parking lot of store with a motion detector). My 8500 performed like this for the first month after I purchased it, but after that it has been terrible.  The same stores that never set it off are now setting it off.  Last week, I was speeding in the left lane, as soon as i get over the top of the hill, a cop is shooting LIDAR at my vehicle and the 8500 never went off.  This detector is useless against laser/LIDAR.  The falses it gets for K band make it unreliable.  I would not purchase this unit again.
