Escort Solo S2 Radar Detector

Pros: Loud alert, Multiple modes,Programable, skinny styling, on light notification,Quick notification
Cons: No voice warning small buttons annnnnoyyyying notifications display hard to read Cost

I bought the solo for the convinience, and that I got, I can take it from car to car, but my goodness, the battery life, let me tell you...Those batteries better be full juice in the winter, or it's a no go. I suggest taking it inside when it gets cold. If it gets too hot in your car, you can't read the display. It turns black. I think on average I change the batteries once every two to three weeks, so stock up and leave some on hand, unless you buy the cord, which is seperate, and hard to find in retail stores, if not possible at all. Overall, I think it's a great product, but I'm SURE you can get something comparable for way less, WAY less. I wish I shopped around more.

Pros: cordless
Cons: poor range, poor warning time.

I had the unit for 6 months. It completely failed to detect a radar trap on I95 in Virginia. Expensive ticket and nasty consequences. The range seems very limited, i.e., I could visually spot Loss Enforcement about the same time it would beep. Not real useful as a warning device!!

The unit went off *as* the !@#$ cop blasted me from his little ambush spot - totally useless. no warning whatsoever.

I am ditching this POS for a wired Valentine One unit. at least they will pay the ticket fees if you net nailed!

Great little Detector,Would recommend although I think they are no longer in production. Can no longer be purchased through Escort, but a limited supply is available through various dealers

if it wasn't for the noise it makes it would be a great little detector. but it is very annoying and drives my wife crazy...if you have good (doesn't have to be great) hearing don't get it..i talked to the company when it was new to see if it was defective, and they said it was normal...
