great detector

"I enjoy the detector immensely. This is my upgrade from the 7500, which has 2 sets of suction cups. The 8500 has only 1 set. It would be great if Cincinnatti Microwave would also provide the direct wiring. This is my 3rd Escort and will stay with them. If you read their background, they do the radar systems for the government. They are top notch."

"I have only had my X50 for a couple of weeks but the performance so far has been great. Very few false / positives, easy to use controls and great display. My only complaints are that the mounting bracket is cheap as usual and for the price a visor clip should be included. I also think the 12volt cigarette plug is cheaply made. I have had to replace it on every Escort I have owned and this one looks no different. Great detector but they could have used the money they spent on the carrying case for a visor clip and better power cord materials. Oh yeah, and while I’m on my soap box, $30 to $40 dollars more for the blue display?????? ROBBERY."
