What brand do you use?
Are they worth owning?
Do you feel you can haul arse and never get caught?

Waze.

I do. I think it may be a cobra. Not sure. Only issue has been the radar/laser that some of the troopers in Mississippi and Alabama shoot. Won't pick it up. Other than that, it has gotten me out of quite a bit of tix here.

I use Waz and if I see other wazers on the road I feel that any police will be marked. I mark any stopped cop I see.

At the moment no, but I used a passport 8500 for a long time and yes it got me out of a few tickets.

V1 on a BlendMount tapped into my rear view mirror. I love it and def think it is worth owning.
It makes it easier to haul arse but you can still get caught if you arent paying attention. Combine it with Waze and your chances of being caught are even less.

I have one. I don't really use it to speed a lot. Not confident in it. It does tell me where red light camera's are, speed camera's and I can input speed trap areas so it warns me. That's all it's good for. I don't speed more than 10 over for the most part.

I agree. This is the best you can do with today's technology... V1 and Waze

I feel like the technology for radar detectors never evolved. Looks like the same stuff from the 90's. You'd think in 2015 the market would be better especially with GPS advancements in technology.

I love my Passport Max (which has GPS). I am obsessed with the Max and Waze, but neither will help from a rural cop using instant on or Laser.

I went hunting in West Texas with someone that has one. He bought it and hooked it up in my truck for the 8 hour drive there and back, so I got quite the test drive out of it.
His was like a Passport 9000isx or something.
Yeah, but they aren't cheap.
Nope, that's what comes with practice driving with one.
On an interstate they are awesome because they pick up a cop radaring people a mile or more ahead of you giving you ample time to slow down before even seeing the cop.
On a desolate back road where you don't see anyone else, the first radar detection will be when he radars you... Then you will be fricked.

I use a V1 and waze. Nothing will completely stop you from getting caught but these tools sure do help. Up next, laser jammers!

I'm on the hunt, these 2 are the best out there?

I do.
Passport 9000isx. I wanted to buy the Valentine 1 but always hesitated when it came time to pay $400. I got the Passport because it had a $100 discount on cyber Monday.
I don't blindly trust it that much. But it does ease my mind some. I trust it the most on the interstate where things are much more open. Overall, I like having it but I don't know if I'd pay for it again. Mainly because I don't go on the interstate all that often and it doesn't do much for me in the city. But it is really nice to have on the interstate.
ETA: I also drive in a low car which is a disadvantage. The higher the radar detector is mounted, the more effective it is.

Waze is a mobile app.

Got a valentine 1 from my now wife for my 21st birthday (27 now) and have not gotten a speeding ticket since in my truck. I had 5 or 6 from 16-21.I drive a lot, minimum 100 miles a day, so it's nice to have

My escort never went off when police were radaring ahead of me. I ended up returning it.

Calling things that aren't trashy trashy is just trying to compensate for your trashyness and is indeed trashy.
