Escort Passport 7500 Radar Detector

Pros: Stylish, user-friendly controls. Good X band detection, money back guarantee when purchased directly.
Cons: Weak K and Ka band performance. Pricey.

Introduction

I will drive speed limits when the cops and insurance companies wire my cold dead foot in the legal speed setting. While I am an unapologetic speeder, I'm not an overzealous speeder. I generally do prefer to go 15-20...

Pros: Very good X band detection, nice features, good looks.
Cons: Unacceptable K and Ka detection. High price.

I decided that I needed a radar detector when the random speed traps along my daily commute seemed to be on the rise. Ole’ Smokey was setting up at different places and on different days on a long stretch of country highway that is ridiculously posted...

Pros: Excellent Brand, Detects and displays 8 separate warnings.
Cons: False alarms

Due to life circumstance, I am now making regular trips from New York to Boston. While this is not a long trip, Connecticut is not the most exciting state of the Union. So, with this review, I begin a series of what will, no doubt, become a famous...

Pros: Great Range, Great Quality, Easy To Use
Cons: None!

Pros: Improved Performance Over 7500
Cons: Smart-Cord Not Included, Weaker Than Competition

The Escort Passport 7500 in the pre-Escort Passport 8500 days sucked miserably. It was put up against the Valentine One, and offered horrible performance, hell, there were a lot of much cheaper detectors that still killed it. Well, after the 8500 came ...

Pros: High Quality.
Cons: Expensive.

I bought the Escort 7500 in order to gain some knowledge. I like to know when I am being scanned by someone's radar gun. Knowledge is power. Although I respect authority figures, I want to know where they are. It might be useful to know where they are....

Pros: Great performance, Expert Meter, resistant to falses, highly programable feature content
Cons: Detectable by VG-2 despite manufactorers claim

I have used my Passport 7500 in excess of 1 year now. I admit to being an electronics buff and purchased this unit because I prefered the Expert Meter (which tracks the relative strenght of up to 8 individual radar encounters) to the display on my...

Pros: Multi tracking display, programming features, 5 sensor laser detection, and safety radar
Cons: Poor detection of hand held and instant-on radar sources from behind

I purchased the Escort Passport 7500 because I wanted a radar detector that would not give me a lot of false alarms and could track multiple radars at once. Kudos to Escort! Overall, this is a wonderful step-up radar detector; BUT, they do need to work...

Pros: Sensitive, accurate, SWS, detects all bands including LIDAR!
Cons: NONE

I got this 7500 instead of the V1 and I'm glad I did! Not only has it saved my end from the law but it saved me a couple of hundred at the store! I've had other RD's but none have been as accurate and fun to use as this one. It has a ton of user...

Pros: Looks are good; Ease of use. Nothing else.
Cons: Questionable product support; Poor X-band range; Exagerated performance by Escort.

I have been using Escort products (primarily in NC,SC but also GA,TN,WI,OH) since 1989 and have been pleased with the performance/range of the 4500 & 6800 to date. Upon purchase of the 7500S for its supposedly improved K and Ka range, I found the price ...

Pros: Price, programming ability, performance
Cons: Lighter plug could be easier to plug in

I bought the Passport 7500 because I believe it provides the best performance for the dollar of ALL of the currently available detectors.

It has given me more than adequate warning during road trips of 2000+ miles, has distinct sounds for the...

Pros: Early on I enjoyed it and it saved me several tickets easily offsetting the price.
Cons: After 6mo I started getting a constant timed loop of false Ka warnings.

I have 4 vehicles all with various models or brands of some type of 10-way radar detection. The Esco ...

Pros: good performance, easy to use features, and price
Cons: no earphone jack for my bike

I've owned a 7500 for about a year now with great results. I bought the Passport 7500 after researching the Valentine 1, and Bel's current line of products. I decided on the 7500 primarily because of the cost, and BMW Roundel's review of the product. The...

Pros: Programming options, size, display
Cons: Falses quite a bit

This review details my experiences with the Escort 7500 Detector. First of all, I am not a speed deamon, just a person that likes to drive at the speed limits, and a little over them sometimes. The Escort offers an unprecented amount of...

Pros: It works well, except for the laser.
Cons: Laser goes off constantly--it's crap!

I have had the 7500s now for about 2 years. It has saved me numerous times but I am about to smash it in the asphalt. The laser alarm goes off on a whim, it seems every time I get a call on my cell or call out, the laser screams.

I have emailed Escort numerous times with no response. So once I do finally snap and throw it out the window I will never buy another escort product...period. Stay clear of this one unless you like hear the annoying laser whistle every 5 minutes.
