Beltronics Pro RX65

Pros: Work GREAT when they work

Cons: 2 Failed in 3 months, long turnaround time, bell hard to deal with warranty

The Bottom Line: I would not buy a Beltronics product again. These units are not up to the quality of the previous 3 Escort detectors I have owned.

Review: Bought 2 of these new on 4-11-06. One failed within 30 days, and the other within 3 months. The way BOTH of them failed is that when you plug them in, the lights come on for a split second then they power off. No beeps are emitted. I called to...

Pros: range, multiple threat display, voice alert, price compared to other 'top' detectors

Pros: Top-shelf performance, attractive cosmetics, Beltronics quality

Cons: Flashy exterior a beacon to would-be thieves, prohibitive cost for the casual user

The Bottom Line: A great performing detector with upgradeable software gives it room to grow. manufacturer's current pricing strategy gives an advantage over its competitors. Give it a look!

Review: Let me preface this review by admitting to driving faster than the posted limit more than I ought to so I'm pretty picky about radar detector performance. I needed an upgrade from the Beltronics 855STi that I had been using for quite a while and I...
