Good cheap Radar Detector / without the bells and whistles u never use, 2008-11-23 Ok, this is my 2nd "Cheap" (read below $50) radar detector. The earlier one was from Cobra (very good too). I'd planned to get the same model for my wife's car as well (she recently got a ticket :( ). But while browsing Amazon I came across this model, good / cheap / functional. What i liked was the "Blue" indicator lights (really cool at night) and the visual signal strength meter.
Both are very similar, however for $5 more the Whistler is a little bit more sensitive (both give u enough time to slow down). However the audible alerts on the Cobra are more pleasant... u know the tonal quality and stuff. The whistler audible alerts are very harsh... and if u live in a city zone like me.. that means constant irritating noise from the harmless radar doors, safety radars, etc...
Otherwise, the cobra is smaller (+1 point). Whistler has longer cord (+0.5)
Overall both are good and for under $50 each, I'd say get one of both yourself. Good investments against tickets / insurance rate hike...
Other than the audible alerts, I like the whistler better though :-)
Hope this helps.
