Bought this car charger for the BlackBerry Bold 9700. With its Micro USB it fits perfectly. This is a RIM product with the BlackBerry logo. If you have a BlackBerry with a Universal Micro USB you cannot go wrong buying this charger. The Micro USB port is smaller than the Universal Mini USB port. Therefore, Micro and Mini USB accessories are not interchangeable. Generally, the Micro USB is on newer phones. This charger will not work with the Bold 9000 (which was the first Bold to hit the market and is usually known simply as "Bold".)

Bought it for my girlfriend to charge her Blackberry Curve 8530 while she is driving and using GPS. Works great, came in good packaging. Ordered it in the late afternoon on a Thursday and received in the next day with Prime! Would recommend to anybody who wants to save money.

Well, I was duped. I thought I was smart enough to avoid getting a fake knockoff, but I wasn't. This is not OEM blackberry. It looks pretty close, but the seller I bought from (Orange Discount Center) sold a fake one.

Now, if this was OEM, it would have got 5 stars.

Terrible product, will not charge my phone. Says its charging when I plug it in, then about 5 seconds later stops charging it unless you readjust it in the phone port. Thought it might have been my phone, got a new version of the same phone and it doesn't charge this one either. Totally DISSATISFIED.

Review of Jabra TOUR Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone - Retail Packaging - Black

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I realistically give this 4.5 stars, but I reserve 5 stars for perfect devices, so I round down.

I'm a gadget-guru and have used a number of Bluetooth in-car speakerphones in search of the perfect device. In fact, I've used so many, I've come up with a criteria-list of 14 items that I use in my pursuit of the perfect Bluetooth device.

What makes the perfect car bluetooth speakerphone?

==============My 14 Most Important Criteria Items============

1. It should have caller-id that speaks the name of the caller

Yes, this Jabra Tour has spoken caller-id, works great!

2. It should automatically turn on/off as you are away from the car

Yes, it does this with a motion sensor which also works great.

3. It should have ample volume while driving at highway speeds

Not as loud as the Supertooth HD (my favorite), but reasonable and acceptable.

4. You should only have to press a single and easily accessible button to answer or place a call

This is where I mainly deduct a half-star. The button to use voice-dial is different than the button to answer a call and they are tiny and opposite each other. In fact they are so small that you sometimes have to glance up to see that you are pressing the right button this defeats the purpose of hands-free that is supposed to keep your eyes on the road. If Jabra could just improve this, I would absolutely give this 5 stars. Look at the Supertooth HD SuperTooth High Definition Bluetooth Portable Visor Car Kit and Speakerphone for Cell Phones, iPad 2, and iPhone Retail Packaging (Black) (the only 5 star rating I've given), it's one big button, just press it, easy to find every time without looking.

5. It should make use of your phone's built-in voice recognition system (if your phone has this)

Yes, assuming you can press only the small voice-dial button and not something else. Jabra if you made the big round speaker an actual pushable button, you'd have an awesome, perfect product. [I'm still waiting for a manufacturer to make a wireless button we can install anywhere so we don't even have to reach up to the visor]

6. It should be easy to pair and auto-download your phone's contacts

Yes, super easy to do.

7. It should reconnect easily when you are in the car

Yes, this works very well.

8. Callers should be able to hear you clearly at highway speeds

Callers can understand me but as with every Bluetooth speakerphone, they will likely know you are talking on a speakerphone or headset just because of road noise. I've used/listened to built-in factory Bluetooth phone systems in BMWs and Hondas and you can still tell they aren't holding the phone to their ear and mouth.

9. The charging port should not be obstructed when the device is installed on a sunvisor

Yes, this is on the side and it is in an ideal spot.

10. It should have a long battery life

Yes, although it doesn't automatically tell me battery life like the Supertooth HD does whenever it connects, you can hold the voice-dial button down for 3 seconds, say Battery and it tells you battery life. Fully charged it's some 20+ hours of talk time. After a couple of weeks of moderate usage, it was still at 12+ hours of talk time. I think after a month it was still around 10+ hours, which is excellent.

11. It should be reliable whether it is -40 degrees in Fargo or the internal car temperature reaches 140 degrees in Texas

I've only had this for a couple months so it is too soon to tell, I will update this review after a few more seasons.

12. It should have good documentation or manufacturer's website and/or responsive customer support

Yes, Jabra is excellent with their website and online support documentation. In fact, it doesn't really ship with a detailed manual, but it is easy to find on their website. I've noticed a lot of vendors have been doing this, cost-cutting, but greener for our environment.

13. It should be usable whether the sun visor is flipped down or up

I am not deducting anything for this, but no, this is "one-sided" for however you've installed it. If you flip the sun visor, the speakerphone will likely be blocked and against the windshield and you're going to have to blindly find the buttons and lean forward to talk. The Supertooth HD is the only device I'm aware of that uses a magnetic clasp so that it can be removed and used on any side of the visor. If you never use your visor, then this is a moot point.

14. It should be reasonably priced

As of this writing, the Jabra Tour is ~$85 and the Supertooth HD is ~$60. I still feel the Supertooth HD is a better device and value all around.

Best Deals for Jabra TOUR Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone - Retail Packaging - Black

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I was wondering what the difference was between this "Tour" and the Jabra "Freeway" as they are so close in price...

The Tour is louder, which in my case is good for use in my noisy old Jeep CJ... at cruise anyway 8-)

Voice commands TO THE TOUR work the same as my Jabra Freeway, but you must hold the voice command button down for at least two seconds, just hold down until you hear "say a command" and not just a quick on/off push

Actual PHONE commands must be avail on your phone in order to use them.

Jabra seems to have this bluetooth tech down pretty well, but have to wonder why make a fully new model at this price point with the Freeway already in place with happy customers... but again, it IS louder with this big single speaker and 3 watts of power.

Bluetooth range is set by industry standards (low power) so you're not going to find any that have longer range (33ft) until the rules change in general and allow them to make more powerful bluetooth transmissions.

This is Bluetooth V3 but the industry has already approved V4 for manufacturers to use so that should show up soon in products.

The Jabra Tour DOES play music files from your phone... however is not in true stereo.

Great heavy duty, full width solid metal clip to hold on the visor (or even your belt or shirt/pants pocket if you care to use it that way) Also works just fine on the desk as a speakerphone.

Car charger and USB cord supplied, but Jabra really should have included an AC wall charger at the MSRP I think. I would never charge something like this from my computer's USB port.

This TOUR works well, but you might want to check out the Freeway before you pull the trigger; Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone (Black, Retail Packaging) Just know it's not quite as loud on full volume as the Tour.

Honest reviews on Jabra TOUR Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone - Retail Packaging - Black

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I LOVE my Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone that I use in my convertible and I really needed another speakerphone for my SUV. My husband uses the Jabra JOURNEY Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone in his work truck, so you can see we are long time users of Jabra products and they have been reliable, easy to use and we consider them to be high-end quality. Sadly I do not feel the same about the Jabra TOUR. Pairing it with my iPhone 4S was extremely easy, just follow the voice commands after you turn the unit on and go to the bluetooth setting on your phone.

Voice commands are easily recognized and Siri's responses are heard back loud and clear. Siri is the only one heard loud and clear, but anyone else who I talk to sounds muffled and hard to understand. Even when playing music the sound the speaker produces is not the best. It states it is a "Powerful 3 watt speaker delivers rich sound on calls, music and multimedia", but it sounds like someone has turned the bass off and the treble on the highest setting. There is nothing rich sounding about that. This speakerphone should of came with the option play it through speaker, or transmit it via FM to your car stereo. At least that way you can control the equalizer settings to your likings.

The unit is extremely sturdy and it will stay put. Now Jabra needs to come out with a new speakerphone that has the construction and the functionality of the voice commands of the TOUR with the FM transmitter feature and virtual surround sound of the Jabra FREEWAY.

I only have this for one day but I've already made a number of calls so I feel I have enough to review this device.

I bought this for my wife, who is a very demanding user in terms of simplicity and ease of use. If she needs to struggle with operating the device she will not use it. If she needs to turn it on and off, she will likely skip it... Also making and receiving call should be super easy and simple.

Well I'm glad to say the Tour does all of the above: it turns on and off automatically, pairing is super easy with her iphone 4 and my iphone 5 (and they can both be connected at the same time!), making and receiving calls is super easy and the best thing is that sound quality is excellent. I have talked to my wife while she was driving and I could not believe she was on the speakerphone. She could hear me very well too.

I've had a number of speakers and headset, and this is by far the best one in terms of call sound quality.

We've also used this with a navigation software on the phone and it worked well.

I did not give this device 5 stars though because of the relatively high price and because I feel that some features are not 100% "on the money". For once, it did not announce callers as it was supposed to. I'm still looking into this. Also, when connecting two phones it got a little confused and disconnected one of them for no apparent reason. I will update this review if anything changes.

The bottom line though is the great call quality on both sides and the ease of use. The product also looks nice and is very well finished. My wife already managed to drop it in our garage and it proved to be pretty robust...

Reviews of 6V AGM Sealed Lead Acid Remington Rerchargeable Lantern Batteries

Customer Ratings:

Be careful what you use this for as full charge voltage exceeds 6 volts 6.3 to 6.5 volts. It will drop slowly as it is discharged, as all batterys do. But this one starts out at full charge above 6 volts, so incandesant type lanterns will not like the higher voltage and bulbs will burn out quickly. LED type lights will tolerate the slightly higher voltage without issue. This battery is meant for a game feeder, but is useful for other devices that are not very voltage sensitive. Do your homework and check operating voltages of your device before you buy.

I bought this from American Science and Surplus, which is no longer listed as a vendor for it. Although it was black not green and didn't look like the picture, it was a standard rechargeable AGM battery and arrived nearly fully charged at 6.38 volts. It will power lantern for only about half as long as an alkaline cell, but of course it can be recharged hundreds of times. I put it in a Ray-O-Vac lantern and it worked fine, but the bulb burnt out after about 6 or 8 hours of use. Although I don't know how old the bulb was to begin with, any fully charged AGM battery will overdrive the standard bulbs for these lanterns, which are intended for 6.0-volt carbon or alkaline cells, and are actually rated at 4.75 volts. So, even a 6 volts is overpowering it by 56%, and an AGM at 6.4 volts is overpowering by 78%. There really should be a slightly higher-rated bulb for these batteries, but so far I haven't found one. I put in an LED bulb instead, which gives a narrower and slightly dimmer beam but gives much more light per charge (theoretically, about 30 hours).

Buy Battery Tender 081-0148-25 25' Quick Disconnect Extension Cable

Customer Ratings:

The reason for purchasing this item is obvious. The built in protective caps for the ends are a nice touch. It would be great if they would include an attached chord keeper or cable tie, as I don't need the entire 25' length most of the time. I can see no difference in effectiveness of the charger whether this extension is inserted between the charger and the leads to the battery, or not.

I use this extension to allow me to mount the Battery Maintainer on a shelf in my garage that is near a power outlet. The extension allows me to drape it in the rafters of the garage and then the connections from the battery can come down from above. Before buying this extension I had to set the battery maintainer on the radiator of my truck with its hood up and run an extension cord over for the battery maintainer to plug into. With this extension cord I can unplug the battery maintainer, disconnect the battary maintainer connections from my truck battery and drape them over to the side, shut the hood and drive away. Before it was a hastle to disconnect the battery maintainer and move it over to the side of the garage before being able to drive off. The extension is worth the money to me for that convienence.

Honest reviews on Battery Tender 081-0148-25 25' Quick Disconnect Extension Cable

I'm using this with a Black & Decker battery maintainer.

I store my collector cars during the winter and I got sick of having to charge or jump them every year. Not to mention replacing the batteries more frequently. I initially bought a style of maintainer that sat up against the battery, had short direct connections which also meant cords between the car and the wall.

Then I bought the Black & Decker maintainers. But, wouldn't you know it the leads were decent in length, but still bridging the gap between car and wall.

Then I found these extensions. Now I got the maintainers mounted on the wall, the lead and extension going up and over a truss and down to the car hood. Cool.

Review of ReVIVE Solar ReStore XL 4000mAh Solar Charger Power Bank & USB

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $109.99
Sale Price: $65.70
Today's Bonus: 40% Off

This solar charger is nice because it has a big backup battery. I use mine for my iPhone 4 and my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

With iPhone:

I get around 3 charges to my iPhone when this battery is at 100%. Usually I get it to 100% using the USB cable, but when I'm not next to power, or if I'm feeling environmental, I charge in the sun. It's practical to get a full iPhone charge after leaving in the sun for about 5 hours.

Solar Charging: I've used this on the dashboard, at the beach and at Coachella 2012!!!!! All instances had mixed results. I found that having this on my blanket at the beach for around 4 hours got two bars, which ended up giving me about 90% boost to my iPhone 4 and then some. On my dashboard it gets to 4 bars if I leave it there for 2 days, but I don't usually do that. It seems like the dashboard ALMOST fully charges it, but I can tell its probably actually at about 90% full at about 10+ hours of dahsboard time. At Coachella I had this thing on the carabiner on my backpack and was moving around all day. It gave me about 60% charge to my iPhone when I needed it(at nigth). I think I was in the sun for about 5-6 hours, but moving around a lot.

With Galaxy Tab 10.1: It give around 40% charge to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 which I've used on the airplane for back up power. I charge the tab with POWER OFF so it can give more juice. 40% to the tab is a few hours of extra video/games/etc, so its definitely cool for a boost.

Using USB charging: If you connect it to your computer, it seems like 6 hours is the right amount of time to get 4 bars full. I've used it with my iPhone charger too, and it seemed like 4-5 hours. Either way, just check the status using the big button.

Flashlight: I haven't needed this BUT ONCE. I was checking my oil at night and had this handy. One REALLY COOL thing was that the battery was at 0%. No reaction to pressing the flashlight. THEN, I left it in sunlight for literally 1 minute to see if the light got any power. Sure enough the LED flashlight lit up for about 30 seconds before dimming. I think LED lights are low power, but WOW thats a pretty fast charge. More of justa fun experiment for my use, but it could be cool for camping(says 36 hours of light off a full charge/not tested by me)

Sum it all up:

Sorry if my review was all over the place, but I hope some of this helps. I've used this thing to give boosts to my friends' phones and their immediate reaction was that this is a cool gadget. Also, I got some intriguing glances at the beach and security line at Coachella. It's definitely an eye catcher, but best of all it comes through for me when i need it. I ahve to be honest, I use it most by charging it by USB, then carrying it for power to use later, but having the option of solar is great AND it works. It feels nice, looks nice, works nice, price is good, accessories like the suction cups and carabiner are cool. All in all, nice product. Let's see how long it lasts...

I was looking for a solar recharger for long bike rides and hiking/camping/mountaineering etc. This works great! When I got it, I fully charged it using USB as recommended, and then tried to fully drain it. I charged my phone, iPod, and finally had to hook up my MotoACTV and let it run with Bluetooth and GPS enabled. Amazing capacity on this thing!

It is a bit difficult to actually fully charge this thing on solar alone, but it does well enough to charge up my phone and MotoACTV at the end of the day. The included locking biner is a nice touch. It isn't climbing spec, but it is a lot lighter than a climbing locker.

And a note on customer serviceThis comes with a protective film on the panel. I went to take it off, and the top was actually tucked under the case. I thought maybe it was supposed to be permanent and I screwed up trying to remove it, so I emailed support. I had a response in minutes. I wrote later asking about additional panels, and again, a response in minutes.

Final noteit comes with a part for hooking up additional panels, and the manual states you can buy additional panels, but they don't actually make the panels yet (as of 6/13/12).

Alright, let's get what you're thinking out of the way first: you think this thing looks flimsy and will break the first chance it gets, or it won't work period. Wrong.

That's what I though after taking it out of the box. Its a light unit, it does not feel like there is a battery/electronics in there at all. But this thing works beautifully! Some of the reviews mention that it takes hours for the unit to solar charge, and that it might melt if you leave it on your dashboard in the sun. Not true. I live in Georgia. The summers here are HOT. Getting in your car after leaving it in the July sun is like climbing into your oven at home. On a recent day trip I left the charger on my car's dashboard in the July sun, and it had charged to full during the two hours I was gone from my car. And it did not melt into my dashboard.

On another day trip my Droid Razr was dying (poor battery life is the norm for that phone), and I simply pulled the charger from my pack, plugged in my Micro USB cable, and put the battery unit in the pocket of my shorts along with my phone. It didn't feel clunky or anything, and it charged my phone. What more can you ask for?

This is a great charger for the money, especially when you compare it to other solar batteries like the GoalZero ones. I'm sure they work just as well, but IMO they are way too expensive for what they do.

Some other little tidbits I'll offer:

-I've charged this unit by plugging the special (included) USB cable into a Kindle power Adapter and one of the mini Apple power adapters, and both charged it perfectly.

-Its small, so it fits in a backpack, purse, or pocket really easily.

-I have not tried this yet, but you can add additional solar panels to improve the battery's charge time when charging from the sun. Out of the box the battery comes with a hook dealie you attach to the side, then attach to the extra solar panel.

-The case itsself is made of a good, solid plastic which can take some abuse. I would try to keep the solar panel away from any situations which could damage it, but it should be okay handling day-to-day usage (i.e. keeping it in a cluttered bag with all kind of pointy things).

Honest reviews on ReVIVE Solar ReStore XL 4000mAh Solar Charger Power Bank & USB

The product itself is nice. Good capacity, good size, decent build quality. There are two ways to charge it solar and plug-in. The plug-in method is the fastest, and it is designed to plug into a standard USB port. HOWEVER, they use a somewhat propitiatory plug to go from the USB port to the actual reVIVE device, which is really silly. They should have used a standard micro or mini USB cable. Now, when I take it, I have to take one more wire along with me. Had they thought through the user experience, they would have incorporated a standard plug that could be borrowed, shared, etc.

Other than that, so far so good!

Unique Gomadic FM Transmitter with an integrated DC Auto Charger Reviews

Today's Bonus: 22% Off

This is a handy device. Use it to keep your phone's battery charged or use it to transmit audio from the phone's MP3 player or radio app through an FM channel on your car's FM receiver.

I have three complaints:

1. Sometimes the signal transmitted by the Gomadic device is just not strong enough to eliminate all hiss in the radio's output. You have to try different radio frequencies and even move the phone around a bit.

2. Because the controls for changing the frequency are part of the same unit as the power plug, viewing the frequency or changing the frequency can be cumbersome.

3. The price is a bit too high. I recently purchased an equivalent device for the iPhone for about five dollars.

This is an amazing FM transmitter. Of course I was leery since I've heard so many bad things about transmitters, but decided to give it a try before buying a new stereo with an audio jack. This works GREAT. Even my skeptical boyfriend was amazed. It even works for me when changing States while driving.. it was working great the whole way and I was surprised that the stations were all "dead" while driving. Once I unplugged it, I realized it wasn't a dead station, but it was still transmitting through a strong radio signal! Please give this a try if you're questioning an FM transmitter. This is GREAT for using Pandora through my phone, and saved me hundreds of dollars!

I picked this sucker up for $30 from Fred Meyer, after they made it clear that they had no other options available for charging my iPod from my computer (I was on vacation with no cord and a dead battery). I was only expecting it to last throughout the vacation, but I've been using it ever since.

I keep the car charger in my car, with no extra cables to burden it, and I keep the wall charger plugged into the wall. The cable retracts easily, with a design much like that of a window blind (pull until you let go, where it locks, and then pull a bit more and let go to release).

It's a small, unobtrusive, and incredibly convenient device for your iPod, and at this price, it's a steal. You'd pay two or three times this at some electronics stores for the wall charger or car charger alone, let alone one that is so solidly constructed.

No question -if you own an iPod, purchase this product. I was impressed enough to come and write this review -perhaps you will be too.

On paper (i.e., computer screen) it looks like an unbeatable deal. In person, though, it looks and feels cheap, and performs accordingly.

I used both chargers with the retractable dock cord on several trips. They worked fine for about 3 months, then the car charger died.

When I called BargainCell for a replacement, they told me I'm out of luck. The items are only guaranteed by BargainCell for 30 days, and they can't even refer me to the manufacturer because the product "comes from China and there is no warranty."

Luckily I'm only out a few bucks because this package is so cheap. But I now have the hassle of researching and buying a replacement. Don't make the same mistake I made!

One thing nice to say: I love the retractable USB dock cord, as it eliminates cable clutter in my car's glove compartment.

For what I paid, these do the job nicely. They keep my phone charged and on the off chance my phone outlasts this adapter, it came with 2 so I've already got a spare. The only negative thing I have to say about this experience at all is that it took 2-3 days longer than the latest shipping date they said it would be here by. It wasn't the end of the world, but it was a bit disappointing. So far though, the products themselves work great.

I used to have to hook up multiple chargers for cars and motorcycles. Now with this new charger i can use my extreme charger two charge my two motorcycle and car over the winter. Saves me time and money. It works by charging a vehicle for a given amount of time then cycles to the next one allowing you to charge up to four batteries off of one charger. It includes all cables and clips for four batteries nothing else needed to purchase.

This splitter will work with any charger with splicing, but is plug compatible with PulseTech's Xtreme chargers.

The splitter simply connects a charger on the single lead side to up to 4 batteries on the other side. If there's an empty connection, it gets skipped. There's absolutely no problem with any number of batteries 1-4 being hooked up. The connection rotates every 1minutes.

Also, if you have one battery that needs more charging, you can hook three of the leads to one battery and one to another battery. Or one and two. In other words, it's no problem to combine connections. If you only have one battery at the moment, it will simply stay on that one until another is hooked up.

Great system for keeping 1-4 batteries topped off.

My husband has several vintage vehicles which continually need maintenance. One problem is keeping the batteries charged and being able to do so one at a time, just wasn't working. Inconvenient. This product allows him to keep several batteries charging at once saving him time and frustration.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I received this new Cobra 9370 radar detector a little over a week ago. I own another one that is a little cheaper than this that also does a good job. But this Cobra model is not only more sensitive and brings the driver a better alert earlier from any direction, but it is also loaded with features that can be tailored made to any kind of area or terrain. At first I was a little intimidated by all the functions and features of this model. There is really is not much more one could ask for options on a radar detector. However thanks to a well laid out instruction booklet and a user friendly button system, it took me really no time at all to customize this baby for whatever driving situation I was in.

I tested this unit both in my town here and on the highway for several days. This being the Fall season the police around here are not all that diligent in the stationary radar on the side of the road, but I did run into some. In each instance the distance between my being received effectively by the patrol car and my being signaled by the detector of his presence was excellent. So far in advance as a matter of fact that each time I silenced the audio part of the alarm just because it went on so long. (It has both audible and visual detection options on it, among many other settings. You can set it to auto mute if you like). One kind of radar detection device that is always in vogue however is the so called rolling radar on the police cars themselves, and the new laser units. No matter where I was, I was alerted each and every time a cop was in the area from any direction, without fail. Not one time while this detector was active was I surprised by a police cars appearance. Which of course has the added advantage of saving you from a lot more infractions than just the cost of a speeding ticket. And pretty much gone are the days when garage door openers and automatic doors on store fronts had you hitting the break pedal way too often. The sensitivity adjustment on this seems to take care of false alerts in a city or congested environment where we tend not to speed anyway. It wasn't altogether foolproof. A few motion detectors and such did have it emitting a false alarm here and there. But I have always found it easy to differentiate between an alert being genuine radar, and just a door opening somewhere. The alert when its radar is loud, steady and unbroken in most cases. False alarms are frequently intermittent and last only for a second or two. In any event I was very pleased with it's performance in that respect. And it is also my opinion that this detector performed better than satisfactory in the majority of tests in city and country areas that I was able to throw at it. About the only thing I can say I didn't like about this model isn't really about the detector at all, but with its included dash mount, which is really nothing more than a thick piece of velcro. You have a choice of mounting this unit either on an included suction cup attachment for the windshield, or on the dash with the velcro strip. The windshield mount is the way to go for it to be secure for sure. It sticks firmly to the glass and the detector can be detached from the mount with just a click of a button. Not only do you need a perfectly flat surface on your dash for the other mount to be secure, (rare these days on most modern cars) but even on a flat dash it's not all that supportive. Go with the windshield mount for sure.

In conclusion, I have owned a variety of radar detectors over the years. Starting way back when they used to be available in a kit that you put together yourself, (and never seem to work no matter how well you did the job). This latest Cobra model has to easily be one of the best and most accurate for the price, with a variety of features to suit anyone, of any I have used. There are more expensive radar detectors to be sure. And in the interest of fairness I have to admit I have never owned a really high priced model. But given the performance of this Cobra 9370, I would imagine that the only person that would need something any better than this is someone really bent on breaking the speed laws at their leisure. For the average driving Joe ,I highly recommend this super Cobra 9370. Very good performance and features at a really fair price...

The Cobra XRS-9570 is, in fact, a great radar detector that doesn't break the wallet. I don't know what's wrong with many of the folks who give terrible reviews of these things but clearly they probably didn't read the instructions. This is a RADAR DETECTOR, thus, it needs a clear, level line of site (although I've seen some nice Valentine's that don't need to be level to work phenomenally, ie. motorcycle on-dash ones). The range of this Cobra series works really well. I've had maybe 1-2 false alarms in the past 2 months of using this due to X alerts from automatic doors on businesses located just off the highway. Other than that, I've seen nothing but great results. Over hills, from a distance, and 360 degrees ... I am very impressed with this radar detector. In fact I was alerted to a Ka just over a hill and sure enough, there was a sly officer hanging out in a great spot (of course I wasn't speeding so I didn't worry... heh). I have mine mounted towards the bottom of my front windshield. It is just above the wiper blades and has a line of site out the rear of the vehicle just above the back seats of my SUV (Honda CR-V).

Furthermore, this radar detector comes with 1-press mute button, and is able to be programmable to shut down during low-RPM movement which is a headache-saver during slow traffic in the city.

The only problem I had was with the mounting/suction cups. However, I installed these in the middle of winter so I had to use warm water on the cups to make them more bendable. Once they weren't basically frozen, they attached to the windshield just fine. The metal bracket that holds the radar detector works very well and is sturdy (the detector doesn't shake much when driving over bumpy roads). I do suggest to take OFF the detector to bend the bracket if it isn't level (this is also in the instructions... it's super easy).

So, in conclusion I highly recommend the Cobra XRS-9570. It isn't ungodly expensive, its range is great, and the adjustabilities (volume, detection, speed-shut down), make this a great detector. Please don't listen to the person who haphazardly gave this a 0 star review with terrible grammar. Read the easy instructions that come with this detector and you'll very much like it.

I bought this radar and I am well pleased. I recently went out of town and it alerted me perfectly. I even have enough time to slow down. Love It.

Honest reviews on Cobra XRS9370 High-Performance Radar/Laser Detector with 360-Degree

It has an smart volunme feature on it that automatically reduces the volume.

It detects police officers running radar with PLENTY of warning time.

It has very few alerts and I have never looked back.

I was in the market for an Escort 9500 radar detector, but Amazon sold out.

I figured I would give this unit a try.

Day one: Multiple alerts recieved but the screen didn't work at all

Day two: Still no screen function

Day three: DERP! Theres a SOLID BLACK sticker on the screen. I never thought to look for a screen cover. Haha.

Day four: Every alert (I drive about 40 highway miles) either preceeded or popped on as a cop came up behind me. I always had about 30 seconds to react. Plenty of time to let off the accelerator.

Fair warning: A police officer can STILL drift clock you from behind (Pacing your car and reading THEIR speedometer, this is legal in several states).

((This happened to me. Darn you Tx DPSbut I did get a warning).

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I see many review both positive and Negative on this unit, the truth IMO is somewhere in the middle, the unit is nicely constructed, has a nice outlaying of buttons and lights, all of which means very little since it's really the Beep Beep Beep that's important :) but as Radar detectors go it's got most of the features of the $400 units that I have used in the Past. Where the XRS9370 falls a bit short is in its discrimination of non Radar signals and its sensitivity to weak signals.

Yes it will go off when you pass certain electronic doors and at airports and shopping malls and even Gas stations but so do most detectors that cost three times as much as this, so that point IMO is moot since you have to go into the price range of the very high end detectors to curb most of the false readings.

The second issue with the 9370 is it's sensitivity. I did not find it to be as bad as some reviewers said, in my case it went off on several of the speed trap locations that I drove by but it also missed one or two that I suspect had their guns on, I say suspected because I must remind people that just because you pass a cop with a Radar gun does not mean its active, many times they are not actively using the unit when you pass by and if the detector does not go off by the time your within 100ft of them it's a certainty that they don't have the gun on.

So in conclusion I like the unit, I know it does have some limitations but those limitations are what one expects for a unit in this price range, if you want a perfect system then you need to be looking at models from Valentine which go for $400 and up but at this price point the 9370 is adequate protection for the average driver and an excellent value.
