Escort Solo S2 OR BEL 940? Which would you choose?

I haven't used the solo, but I have zero complaints with the 940. Definitely paid for itself

I would not buy anything made by Beltronics. Their Vector model that I bought worked poorly for two months and died. Amazon gave me a partial refund because it had gone past the one month warranty. As I said at the time, I have owned several radar detectors in my life, all of which performed well for over 10 years. This was the first truly worthless product of this kind that I ever have bought.

DEpends on teh particular features you are looking for and how you think you might use it. Personally, to me, the Diesel is the best for my needs.

The 798 also has the internal electronics making it compatible with the Minn Kota's iPilot system as well as the new Humminbird 360 SI sonar. If neither of these are in your future, then stick with the 598 and save the $$.

The 796 has a single brake, which works on the rear wheels. The single brake works fine. I primarily use it for control on sloped walkways. The basket is a must-have, in my opinion.

The previous response has some merit, both from the police having it on, plugging it in, and different use for city and highway. After using a Valentine One since 1993 with 3 tech upgrades (I love it), I purchased a Solo because the plugging in process in my new 2014 MBZ S550 is awkward and in the way. It is my 9th MBZ and the first one with awkward plug, they were designed for a cigarette user (they still smoke a lot in Germany), not a plug-in cord After many months putting on many miles up to Oregon and down to LA, (live in Monterey) trying all the possible combinations of settings, I was thoroughly dissatisfied, to say the least, and put it away. If I had to plug it in, it didn't meet my needs. I concluded that I really don't need it in the small cities around me (the Valentine rarely went off because I drive near the speed limit) and I can put up with the inconvenience on the highway where I really need it (above the speed limit). The Solo never met the distances or performance of the Valentine. I wouldn't spend much evaluating the Solo. If it doesn't meet your expectations without having to change the settings frequently, return it. I set my Valentine once, leave it alone and I feel safe. Good luck.

I have both, I just got the Max in my car and the 9500ix went from my car to my wife's car to replace her old 8500. Both the 9500 and max work well, and they seem to pick up radar at the same distance and they both learn false alerts fast (usually three passes and they will lock out a radar). The max has color options, the 9500 is red or blue. they both sound fine when the unit tells you about red light cameras and speed traps. I would choose the Max just bcs it's newer, yep that's the only reason. The 9500 is awesome and has been super reliable, but the newer max is the next update (not upgrade, just update).

for just hauling groceries I would recommend that you get the R2. The other ones are bigger and heavier than what you would need to just haul groceries.

Big Marcus, A very big yes on Ka detection. My commute each day is through SE MA and RI and my whistler always alerts me well in advance when the stateys are setting up a trap. As for GPS, not sure since neither model that I have owned had that feature. Hope that info helps. BTW, for the price, Whistler can't be beat.

The Max would be my first choice. It works like a 9500 with much better range. Both are very good detectors.

Hello Kim, I have had the Garmin S1 for several weeks now and have enjoyed using it. It has helped my game and gives me all that I need - accurate yardage to the front, center and back of the green. I am about a 17 handicap golfer and I do not need the additional features of the S2 and S3 which provide more information to include distance to hazards on the S3. The S2 is maybe $70 to $80 more than the S1 and the S3 maybe another $100. I need glasses to read the small print and appreciate the S1 with the large display of numbers. I could not effectively use the other models without putting on my reading glasses which I do not want to do while playing golf. I hope that helps - Have fun - Jack Hello Kim, I have had the Garmin S1 for several weeks now and have enjoyed using it.

I would NOT recommend the 3900 sport. I've had nothing but trouble with mine. It has a problem with the drive chain that causes it to circle the drain. I have taken it for repair multiple times and always end with the same result. I think it's a very poor design. truly wish I had not bought it. I would recommend the Polaris 280 because it's a tried and true cleaner. Stay away from the 3900 sport.

Absolutely!! the S2 and S1 are identical except the cordless option! I have both the S1 and S2 :)

Personal choice. I am using one currently, but will probably not replace it when the time comes.

I don't think you could go wrong with the Winix 5300. It is very quiet in sleep mode. Probably cleans the air better when turned up to auto while you're away.

I'd buy the largest one. it is a bit higher than the touring version and you will probably need that with windshield and back rest. I have one on my BMW R90 (backrest) and another on a silverwing (back trunk) and they fit perfectly. Neither bike has a windshield so I'm thinking go with the larger one. Remember, these are great for indoor use but not good for in the rain.

I only have experience with this one. We've had it for about 2 months and we are very happy we bought it. I originally had the Safe 2 Sleep. The S2S has many more features and is an excellent option for 0-4 months. But our baby outgrew it. They start rolling off the pad and you get false alarms. The Babysense, solves the problem. So if you will only have one monitor that is the one i woudl buy.

I have had both the 9970g and currently using the vendetta... I lean more towards the 9970g more seemed to pick up way more, tell when emergency vehicles approaching, and railroad alerts. Kind of got annoying but worked great
