Summary:
mini earplug is mono, customer service says it will break if you plug in a stereo plug. And false laser detection ALL THE TIME!
Customer service is rude. The kid says to me "do you want the address or not" very rude, still haven't heard from the regional manager about my complaint. Beware!

Strengths:
cordless

Weaknesses:
false laser alarms, fragile, expensive, poor headphone plug.

Summary:
Worst radar detector I have ever used. Did not work properly, thus leaving me with a ticket. When I called customer service about the problem, they basically said oh well. Never did get a return phone call from the one and only manager they stated they had. Don't waste your money. Does not work. And I was on open highway. The Escort company is the worst and I will never purchase from them again.

Strengths:
none

Cordless, few false alarms, long distance detection

Weaknesses:

Price Paid:  $329.00 from escort

Summary:
The Solo performs exactly as advertised. It is the best cordless ther is and it's not too far off from the 8500 in range.

Strengths:
Outstanding detection, Nice ergonomics, Attractive.

Weaknesses:
Audio needs to be louder, Display is too dim and not very readable, to me at least. A metal case would be nice. These weaknesses cost a couple of stars
