ALC Alert SILVER BULLET All Band Radar/laser Detector with Smart Alert Filter+

Really good radar detectors start around one fifty and if you can't afford one you probably can't afford to be speeding either. No cordless detector--the Silver Bullet being no exception--has as great a range as a corded one or the ability to detect "pop" radar like a corded one. The cordless circuit boards are designed to save power, even when using the cord. That all being said, this unit's performance and features are pretty good for the entry-level price, and the unit so darn good looking and easy to use you might want to buy it anyway.

I found that false alerts were minimal using "no" filter (there's no city/highway setting) and usually only happened around grocery and hardware store parking lots. I drove through several reduced speed zones (like road work areas) where there were portable radars to tell drivers their speed on the roadside. This unit's over-the-horizon and around-the-bend performance wasn't great, but was acceptable, and the range wasn't great...Read more

Couldn't disagree more with the earlier review. This Detector is just as good as my earlier Whistler and my current Escort, and better than any others that I have used. I get lots of warning time, both front and rear. Rarely get a false alarm. Battery lasts a long time, and works just as well on recargeables.

Do not work I see the police before it go off and the State police just forget it it beep as they pass me or I pass them. This is the worse detector I have ever owned. I had a Bell wireless that no longer work because of instant on radar but it works better localy that this piece of junk. a totaly wase of money. I will probaly get a Beltronic soon.
