Top performer in my radar detector performance tests for 2007.
Best Buy for detectors costing less than $200.00!

Under $150.00
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!
During my ten year career in the speed countermeasure industry, I have NEVER found a radar detector costing less than $150.00 that I would keep on own my dash!
The radar detector you buy only has to save you from ONE TICKET to pay for itself, consider making a wise investment, get something that you can trust and depend upon.
* No differences in performance blue over red. Blue LED’s are more costly, thus the price difference.
Laser Jammers
Blinder M-25/M-45 (Version J15 Only): The Blinder system is available in either a two head version(M-25), or the four head version (M-45).
Approximately 95% of all laser enforcement is shot to the front of the vehicle so average sized passenger vehicles can utilize the M-25 system.
However larger profile vehicles such as a pick-up or SUV would need four laser jammer heads to the front to be effective in jamming laser. Therefore the M-45 system would be recommended.
Also if owners of passenger cars would like both front and rear protection, then the Blinder M-45 would be recommended.
Blinder's latest J15 version was tested at the SML 2008 Radar Detector Shoot Out. This newer updated version performed very well and much better then their earlier version.
RadarBusters has replaced all the previous Blinder units with the J15 system.
Cincinnati Microwave's ZR4: Also known as the Escort ZR4.
Their newest three headed system is very efficient at jamming police laser.
