Pros:PRICE, Radar Sensitivity, Nice Looking, Picks Up All Major Bands Including Laser Cons: More Falsing Than Valentine One or Escort
Beltronics is one of the biggest players in the radar detector market. Their Vector series is their highest end radars. I've seen the BEL 985 at a $329.95 MSRP, but the detector can actually be purchased for as little as $205. This makes it half the price ...
Pros: Sensitivity; Features (for those who are into that) Cons: um....
Note: This review was written during the summer of 2002 and not published until yesterday, but I still believe this is a pretty accurate review after having almost a year of experience with the 985.
Pros: Good range, low number of false alarms. Cons: Hard to read display, poor bracket design.
This radar detector excels at what it is supposed to do - alert you of police radar. I've had the 985 for about 6 months and 10,000 miles of driving, and overall I've found it to be a good unit. I bought it after owning the very similar Bel 980, which...
Pros: Liked the features, accurately warned of Ka band presence in front of car. Cons: Alert failed after just over 1 year of use and so did the warranty!
After researching radar detectors on the internet and on Epinions, I purchased two of the Beltronics 985 Radar detectors for each car. Both worked for just over a year - conveniently the warranty was for a year as well. The first one stopped working ...
Pros: good sensitivity, programmability, upgradeable Cons: durability(faulty speaker after 10 months. Lousy mounting clip.
I purchased the 985 in January 2003, and up until this month(10/03)it has performed flawlessly. I like the fact that it is so programmable. After about a month I turned the x-band off because I have yet to see a cop use x-band in Illinois. Mo ...
Pros: Sensitivity, Range, Clarity of voice and tone alerts, Bright display, 16 selectable features Cons: Haven't found any yet.
Hello Folks,
The results are in and they are not good but GREAT. I have had quite a bit of experience with detectors ranging back about 16 years ago. I have previously owned 3 top brand models that fell far short of my expectations. For many years...
Pros: EVERYTHING! The only detector you will ever need! Cons: I think the suction cups could be a little stronger.
After getting a good sized ticket by a stupid speed trap found myself buying a detector once again to help with the situation. My last detector was a cobra (El Cheapo) and it used to false so much that I would just mute it or shut it off. This detector...
Pros: The best radar detector I have had(3) and its range is sweet! Cons: A little pricey but it will pay for itself in the end.
The Bel Vector 985 radar detector is a sweet product. The price maybe a little high but the 985 rules so much you will soon forget how much you spent on it and you'll know how much butt it kicks when those darn cops are trying to get you.Its not as fancy...
If you're reading this review, you've probably owned and used at least one radar detector. Over the years (more than I'll ever admit to) I've used everything from Escorts to Whistlers and they have all had their strong and weak points.
The...
Pros: Excellent detection, functionality. Cons: None except for slightly difficult feature selections (but I didn't read manual!)
I've owned several Bel's over the last 10-12 years and they all have been excellent and long lasting. After purchasing a non-Bel detector a year ago, I learned my lesson the hardway with $450 in fines because the other detector didn't work and I didn't...
Pros: Best radar I have ever had. Works almost perfect. Very few false alarms. Cons: None
Great radar detector. Works almost flawlessly. Very user friendly. This company knows what it is doing. Well built also. My previous radars have been a Phantom II Jammer and a whistler. Both of these didn't work well at all. I am very happy. You will be...
Pros: Awesome sensitivity/range! Excellent false alarm rejection. Cons: Bright mode could be brighter in daylight sun
After owning just about every manufacturer of radar detector outside of Valentine One., I have finally found the best detector out there!
I have owned Bel 970, Escort 8500, Uniden Stalker, Cobra 9200 series. None of them even come close! Some...
