Default Radar Detectors

Searching the web for the best detectors out there. I like the idea of a cordless detector like the solo 2, but still pricey. I also like the visor clip instead of the windshield mount. Anyone have opinions on what they like and use ?

Escort 9500i here. Love it, and has saved my *** countless times.

You don't have to worry about wires if you get the stealth cord!

This thread kinda talks about both hardwiring and the diff types of radars. I have an Escort 8500. Works GREAT! I love it. Except when it falls off from the suction and scares me half to death.
