Pros: Good detection, looks cool, easy to install and use, cheap Cons: Does not guarantee absolute protection, display
I got this radar detector (Cobra ESD-6050) at Cyberrebate, it is supposed to be free there after the mail-in rebate. It sells elsewhere for as low as $50.
Pros: Good Radar/Laser Detector if stealth not needed in your area (like VA or DC). Cons: Doesn't Protect from Upgraded VG-2 & any Spectre RDD. RDD Stealth poor in VA/DC.
Generally good radar & laser detector. Radar drones on bridges and construction signs still set off alarm. Unit good if stealth from police such as in VA and DC isn't needed. Reasons I say this: I managed to get out of two non-moving violations for ...
Pros: At least it can detect something-- even if too late for a driver to react Cons: Abysmally poor detection range, faulty power cord jack
Pardon me if I borrow a lot of text herein from the Whistler DE1655 review that I just wrote... In the quest for a new radar detector to replace my fiance's aging Escort Passport 6800, I have developed a sort of fetish for test-driving these devices. ...
Pros: Very Cheap, And Has Good Range Cons: No 360 Degree Laser Detection
My 2 cents .....
I have been very pleased with the Cobra-6050 Cheapo Radar/Laser detector. It has excellent k/ka detection. It doesn't have the best laser detection, due to the fact it doesn't have 360 degree sight. But if you are just...
Pros: Good X/K Band response, great for those on a budget! Cons: Poor laser detection
If you are on a tight budget, this COBRA ESD-6050 is a decent performing low priced unit. It has SWS alert and VG2 warning capabilities which add to the value of this unit. False alerts do occur on a regular basis, but primarily in urban areas. The...
Long in the tooth and outdated by edellks ,May 28 '08
Pros: Very easy to use. Works good for many types of radar guns. Cons: Does not pick up newer laser guns, POP or some frequencies of radar guns.
This worked pretty well when I bought it many years ago, but radar guns have changed to laser guns and this doesn't pick up many of them.
It worked good while it lasted, but it's too outdated to be useful now. Cobra is also one of the worst performing radar detectors on the market, except for Rocky Mountain. Just look at any unbiased reviews.
As much as I hate to spend the money, it looks like I'll be going with an Escort or Bel unit soon. They are consistently the best on the market.
