Value for your money
I set out shopping for a radar detector and I was particularly looking for one with the highest number of positive user reviews. All reviews pointed out one particular brand - ESCORT. With my budget and needs I got myself this 8500 X50 Black with Red display. I was eager to test it out and sure enough I have. The first thing you see out of the box is a compact well built and well thought out design not to mention the sleekness.
Mounting on the windshield is easy and it stays level with minimal vibrations even on a rough road surface. The device is user friendly and packs all the basic features you will ever need from a detector.
The performance is impressive too with City, Highway and Auto sensitivity settings on the go. The device has a remarkable range too from the few tests i did starting at 1.5km which will give you an ample time to adjust accordingly. Bottom line, this device will give you 100% value for your money and save you much more.Read full review

Not an exact match for the Escort piece
Tooth wouldn't latch onto the cutouts on this piece of metal. Seller is great! Got it here quickly, but quality wise, was a little disappointed. Punched holes in metal don't line up exactly with my escort passport detector. It fell off my mirror mount and was dangling by the hardwire cable. I have one of my daughters' hair elastiics holding my detector onto the mount at this point. I'm just like whatever, don't even care. Read full review

Escort 8500 Solid Unit Great Performance
This is my second unit, were not speeders. But were the family that seems to always run late. we just like to know were Active Guns are just in case we wonder a couple MPH over. I bought a after aftermarket single suction cup mount and its gives the unit a cleaner look. The programming features offers you options so you adjust to your area.Read full review

The best Radar Detectors are Escort Passport!!!
This is our 4th Escort Passport. I wouldn't buy any other brand other than Beltronics, which is owned by Escort Passport.
This new 8500 X50 has great range, few false signals, and is so very easy to set up.
The price I bought it for is about half of what they retail for.
Super deal, and a great product!Read full review

Great price with good features.
Works exactly as expected. I don't drive a daily route, so having a GPS memory based location for radar isn't necessary. The price was right for this. It replaces my original 8500.

Great radar detector pricey but, worth it!
After having this purchased from eBay I must say the features on it are great. It's already saved me from 4 tickets. Can't complain but, the price is the only griping point.

x50
It appears that with the advent of traffic alert systems on cars and collision avoidance electronics that it's giving city drivers a lot of false signals in congested areas. It works fine for me however in suburbia. Recommend.Read full review

Works well
Detects cops using Ka band in my area pretty far in advance, plenty long enough to slow down and/or duck behind traffic.
