A Valentine for Christmas? Yes! Valentine One Radar Detector

by driver4t5 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 19 '00
Pros: Very good sensitivity, especially on K and Ka bands, Nerd Convenience, easy mounting/dismounting
Cons: False alarms, expensive.
Introduction

After receiving traffic citation #22 of my storied career by a slow cop with a radar gun, I realized I needed help. Speeders Anonymous? Hell No!

Still the Benchmark Maker...

by A-RDR-GUY Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 08 '02
Pros: Best Sensitivity Around; Arrows
Cons: Auto Dim; No text
The Valentine One was first brought out in early 90s. The unit featured X, K and Wideband Ka. For its time and still, it was King of X and K band pickup. Ka Wideband, thought featured, was in middle of the pack of detectors.

The Valentine One Radar Detector is unmatched, and pays for itself over and over again.

by Wisky Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 31 '04
Pros: Solid Build Quality, Easy to operate, directional arrows are great!
Cons: costs $400, easy to steal if left in the car
The one thing that scares many people away from the Valentine 1 Radar Laser Detector is the hefty $400 price tag. And although $400 is a lot of money for a radar detector unit, the V1 is well worth it. In my experience with the Valentine 1 (2 ...

The Best Radar Detector

by elmoebeesn Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 14 '00
Pros: easy to install, convenient, works well
Cons: slightly expensive
I have recently found the need to purchase one of these units because of a recent speeding ticket I received. I was only going about 10 miles an hour over the speed limit; however, I realized that I can not afford the increasing ticket prices and the...

Valentine One: If God Had A Radar Detector, It'd Be The V1!

by soupcraze Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Feb 01 '03
Pros: Very Sensitive Detector, Rear Protection, Shows Were Cops Are, Price
Cons: NOT HAVING ONE!
The Valentine One is unlike any radar detector that I've ever seen. I love my Valentine One, I love it like I love my family, like I love my car, and like I love my life. Where would I ever be without a Valentine One? If I were God, the radar detector...

by openroad Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jan 19 '04
Pros: Unparalleled radar detection, directional arrows, front AND rear protection, upgradable to new technology
Cons: Most expensive consumer radar detector, somewhat large, still can't protect from instant-on.

Valentine v1.8 w/ POP K and Ka

by gtrpm , Jan 02 '05
Pros: EXCELLENT RANGE! best 360 protection! Lots of information displayed
Cons: False Alarms, no lilluminated band detection for night driving
NOTE TO ALL THE VIEWERS I've read many reviews about the Escort x50 and noticed the various comparisons between it and the Valentine. I am assuming that everyone knows that the range of the x50 and the Valentine are both excellent and compare very ...

Valentine One - There's No Substitute

by soupcraze Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Aug 22 '07
Pros: Multi-Directional Arrows, Excellent Range, Bogey Counter, Durability, SAVED ME $$$
Cons: Pricey but worth it
I have already owned a Valentine One radar detector for many years. Ultimately, this is the only radar detector that I would ever trust in my own vehicle. I have probably saved thousands of dollars worth of tickets and insurance premiums with this ...

Functional, Not Fluffy

by f16ham , Jan 04 '07
Pros: Consistent, reliable, long range detection. Functional controls, easy to operate. Dependable and very accurate.
Cons: Must hide it from potential thieves.
First - This is a radar/laser detector. It's designed to pick up radar/laser signals, which it does very well. It doesn't have a lot of "fluffy" features like compass, voice, Safety Warning System, etc. It just uses all it's circuitry to detect ...

VALENTINE 1 THE ULTIMATE CHOICE FOR ME

by stereodog , Jul 03 '04
Pros: TOP PROTECTION, BOGEY COUNTER, CONCEALED DISPLAY OPTION, ARROW LOCATOR SYSTEM, UPGRADEABLE, K POP DETECTION
Cons: Small Radar band LED display. No included carrying case.
I am so glad I discovered the Valentine 1 (V1) on Epinions, when searching for radar detector reviews. I've used detectors going back to 1980. My first “high end” detector was the Cobra Trapshooter II – then I began using Bel products in the 1980’s, ...

Life with my Valentine...

by e-attorney , Feb 26 '05
Pros: 360 degree protection and directional arrows tell you where the threat is located.
Cons: False Alarms.
You were ALL so helpful to me when I was shopping for a radar detector that I am happy to provide my input so that it may help someone else. After careful study, I purchased the Valentine 1 (V1) in January 2005 and have been using it for over 1 month. ...

The Only Option In Radar Detection

by lilviv , Mar 27 '07
Pros: Impeccable Quality & Functionality, Upgrade Program, Supplied Accessories, Value Retention, Programmability
Cons: "Instant On" Still Wins, Expensive, Attractive for Theives, Used Buyers Must Watch Version Levels
The Valentine 1 Radar Detector is, in my opinion, the only option when considering a radar detector. Other than initial purchase and performance, people often ignore the fact that radar technology will change (laser front and rear in the past, perhaps ...

Excellent Protection for Heads-Up Drivers

by lentulus , Feb 03 '07
Pros: Extraordinary sensitivity and warning distance/time; ergonomic simplicity; ruggedness and inbuilt quality; POP and Ku.
Cons: Cost; customer service.
I've owned a series of radar detectors going back to the Autotronics Snooper passive X-band detector in 1979. I've lost three to crack junkies and still have all the rest. I collect them and have prowled pawn shops and electronics stores to acquire ...

Valentine One: A breakthrough in radar protection

by epinionsuser Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 04 '00
Pros: Bogey counter, bogey direction
Cons: False alerts
Apparently Epinions made a category for this epinion so I moved my previous one on the Valentine. I'll be deleting the other one shortly. Thanks!

I'm not one to speed constantly from place to place but occasionally I find myself using...

Great detector, but not my choice. ***NOW UPDATED***

by sristich , May 06 '04
Pros: Great range (especially X band). Overall a great detector.
Cons: Price, falsing (x-band Laser) and no automute. Arrows not always accurate.
To start, I'll admit that I DO NOT OWN THE V-1. I had extensive opportunity to compare it with my (now old) Passport 8500. I got my passport in December 2003 and I went on "comparison test" with my good friend. I wrote about the test (as a comment to ...
