Beltronics radar detectors consistently run neck and neck with the Valentine one and Escort, according to tests done by Car & Driver and other magazines. I have a V985 and it has been a great detector for much less than the high-priced competition. Best bang for the buck is a good description for Bels.

I also have a Bel 985. Looks and works great. Same company as Escort. (My Bel is in my Envoy though...)
