Basic detector, but does the job

Can't say much for it besides that it saved me from at least 3 tickets in the last six months. That's what I bought it for, and it's done it's job quite nicely!

I have owned this unit for a month now, and it is a great radar detector. Being a refurbished product, it is a very good price and it is in like new condition. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a good radar detector on a budget.
