Beltronics Vector 955

Pros: The case look nice

Cons: It do not work with radar and lots of fault alarms.

Review: I got this Bel Vector 995 for about 1 year and lost 6 points as this detector do not do its job as what it stated from Bel. It also comes with a fault message and I contacted Beltronics. They asked me to send back this unit to the State from the UK...

Pros: Lots of features. Good laboratory performance.

Cons: Telephone style power connector breaks. Too many false alarms. Flimsy windshield mount.

Review: I have been a consumer of beltronics radar detectors for the last 17 years. My current 8 year old Bel served me well but was not picking up the new POP radar and the laser detection stopped working. Armed with $300 I proudly purchased the Vector...

Pros: No false alarms, (except occasionally on X band)

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: If you want a radar detector that works then this is the one to get. It was rated for a reason.

Review: Recently I found myself on the hunt for a new Radar detector. After doing some research I chose two 955's one for my wife and one for me. I do alot of driving so I took
my 955 back and swapped it out with a little more money a picked up the...

Pros: Good Range, saved me a lot of tickets.

Cons: Speaker ruined, no good if I can't hear the buzzer.....

The Bottom Line: Buy it because it works good and is cheap, shut it off when out of car!

Review: I have a 955 and the guy saying it does not detect well must have a defective detector. Mine picks up cops over hills and around corners great, many times at over 2 miles. If he is getting hit with laser these (all detectors) are useless and that...

Pros: Sensitive radar and laser detecting system
Trustworthy
Easy to handle

Cons: The volume needs to be adjusted a little bit...can startle the driver.

Review: Not a bad detector...minimal false alarms...like others have said, there are the occasional K-band false alarms but other than that, it's not bad. Honestly, I'd rather have it warn me about every little thing than nothing at all. It has a very...

Pros: Great Ka sensitiviy, does not false on Ka. Extremely sensitive K. Autoscan mode (great)

Cons: Falses on K band. understanding K falsing levels and duration makes this a non-issue..

The Bottom Line: I would not hesitate recommending potential buyers to purchase this unit. It will save you the expense of tickets and the higher insurance premiums that go along with them.

Review: The absolute best detector I have owned. I have had this for over a year without getting a ticket. 2 nights ago the 995 started going crazy. Ka, Pop and laser. I thought it was developing a problem until I came upon a deputy sheriff cruiser and van...

Pros: Autoscan, new windshield mount, storage bag

Cons: none that I know of so far

The Bottom Line: You buy a radar detection for protection. This one has the best ratings compared to others like it - why get an inferior one?

Review: I read the other reviews here that complained about too many false alarms, but I also found some magazine articles comparing this unit to others in the same price range. These articles never mentioned a problem with false positives so I decided to...

Pros: easy to use

Cons: unable to pick up real threats in any appropriate setting

Review: The Vector 995 should have been called the Sweeper. It picks up all sorts of garbage except real threats. Its specialty is bank and store alarm systems. Ultimately, it becomes a nuisance to the driver as it beeps, chirps, buzzes, etc all the time...

Pros: Great Range, Great X,K, Ka band sensitivity and nice features.

Cons: No smartcord or hard case, and no mutiple threat display readings

The Bottom Line: Get this detector espically for the KU band since its coming 2006.

Review: I did lots of research on this model and the Rx 65. Wanting something with Ku ability since in 2006 this band will be available to law enforcement by a major radar gun manufactor.

According to Bel this unit has the same enternals and is...

Pros: Great price on a very dependable highway detector.

Cons: Your gas bill will increase!

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a good reasonably priced detector I would definitely recommend this model.

Review: Ok. I had read many reviews on radar detectors before buying the Beltronics Vector 955. I found that this detector was the most bang for the buck. If you are looking for a detector that will keep the average intelligent person from getting a traffic...
