Nice design and very easy to use. I love the voice communication and how it reduces the volumn of the alert after initial notification. This unit is superior to previous years models, however the distance in which it alerts you is still not far enough away to be really safe from "Smokeys Revenge" In other words if you speed this is not enough to prevent you from getting a ticket in many instances. It has saved me a few times but there are many other times had I been speeding, I would have gotten a ticket. I had an instance as I came over the top of a hill, smoky was on the down side in the grass with radar pointing at the crest, I do not know if it was a instant on or just pointed in such a way that the unit did not sound off until I was over the crest and eye to eye with smokey. It helps but no where near enough. Using the highway mode to get the maximum range you also get a fair amount of false alarms. Overall for the price a good value the tickets it has saved me from have paid for the unit. But next time I think I will save up and buy the much more expensive unit to try and match smokeys superior technology.Read full review
Nice features, I mainly drive highways (I480/I90) around Cleveland to give you idea of my review location. I turn the detector "off" when on the highway due to "excessive" false alarms. I use it mainly while driving the suburbs revenue cities. This detector works great for the suburbia drives. The radar part is sensitive, IMHO the laser is useless-better pay attention works best! A feature called "spectrum" false's in certain sunlight conditions...go figure. This unit has a nice compass and scrolling readout. Also has a voice Annunciation when turned on It says testing...blah blah...annoying if you want quick turn on. You do have set-up options so keep the manual handy.
The detector works as advertised. It was in great shape and warns me of radar as designed. It arrived on time as advertised.

I already own the Cobra XRS-9RG, (their top of the line), and this one, (XRS-9745), is just as reliable but does not have the red light cameras indictor. It's easy to install and gives several different options to mount in your vehicle. It has a full 360 degree monitoring capability, (make sure you have a clear view to the rear window, follow directions), and is easy to set up the GPS compass.
VERY GOOD PRODUCT. I LIKE HOW YOU CAN PROGRAM THE RADAR YOURSELF, TO PICK UP CERTAIN KINDS OF RADARS. ONLY DOWN SIDE IS, THE SUCTION CUP MOUNT DOESNT HOLD THE RADAR UP TO WELL AND THE POWER CORD IT COMES WITH IS COILED, I ENDED UP ORDERING A NEW STRAIGHT POWER CORD, THE COILED ONE KEPT RIPPING THE RADAR OFF MY DASH. OTHERWISE, VERY GOOD AND SO FAR DEPENDABLE PRODUCT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO ALOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, THATS THE MAIN REASON I PURCHASED IT. IT PICKS UP RADAR FROM A GOOD DISTANCE AWAY. I HAVNT SET THE COMPASS YET, IT SEEMS EASY THO, GIVES EASY INSTRUCTIONS, YOU DRIVE AROUND IN CIRCLES. ALSO, THE WAY IT SENSES YOUR RPMS IS REALLY USEFUL AS WELL, THAT WAY YOU DONT GET ALOT OF ALERTS WHEN THEYRE NOT NEEDED
