Cobra ESD 9870
I got prompt shipment, however the product its self was not any good.I was told this was a brand new never out of the box radar detector, however I found out from Cobra that this product was defected.I don't know if this product was defected from the factory or if this product was a refurbish, but Cobra has sent me a replacement for this unit....

Horrible
So many false alerts you won't know if any of them are real. That is if it detects the real ones. My town uses radar trailers that use the same Ka band as the cars but my 9870 would not detect it sometimes. Then for some reason it would just start going off when I was in the middle of no where. It would seem to cycle through everything "Ka.....K.....X....Train approaching". For some reason there were a lot of trains crossing my paths in places like parking lots. Now I know that radar detectors have...

High Dollar Junk
Please do not be fooled by the high dollar look of this unit!All Cobra detectors are full of software glitches.I started with the older 9550 model and it had so many glitches in it that Cobra kindly upgraded me to the 9870.But guess what.This "new and improved" unit is based off of the same old junk.It uses much of the same software and has many of the same problems.Some problems include loss of "stay set memory", changes in brightness level without command, inoperative "smart power".As far as detection...

Marketing Fluff
Cobra has you fooled with marketing fluff.There is no such thing as "11 Bands".There are only 3 radar bands and 1 laser band.That's it.They count the different brands of radar guns as different bands, they count the different brands of laser guns as different band, they count VG-2 as a band (it's not a band it's a type of gun).It's all marketing fluff to get you to spend more money.As far as radar detectors being legal in the United States, that is not completely true either.They are illegal in...

Great Unit
This is a great unit for the price, it detects 11 bands of radar and it gives plenty of warning time for you to take action. Pay no attention to the above review.. This unit is VG-2 Undetectable, it never claims to be undetectable to Spectre. I have tested my 9870 on a spectre and vg-2, I get alerts on both tests and vg-2 can't see my radar.But since I live in the United States, it is not against the law for me to own a radar detector, hence I have no need for these special features.Great unit for...
