It will cost you 150 dollars on average if you get a speeding ticket in the U.S. so if you want to invest in something that can help you avoid such a loss, consider buying a decent radar detector.
In the past few years, in order to increase their accuracy, high-end detectors have been equipped with digital signal processing (DSP), directional technology, and smartphone integration. And the item I’ve been testing during the last few months — the Escort Max 360 — possesses all those features and more.
The manufacturer is pretty confident to say that “It’s the most advanced radar/laser detector on the market.” On Escort’s official web site, this sells at 649.95 dollars, including shipping and gets only 3.7/5 from customers’ review. Whereas its main rival, the Valentine One, is sold at a significantly lower price. Is it really worth it to pay such an amount of money? To answer the question, I will break down what the Escort Max 360 has to offer in different categories, namely: detection performance, alert feature, control power and help & support.
Detection performance
According to other users’ reviews and my own testing, this small unit is doing great. Its operating bands are X, K, Ka and laser signals. And with the dual antenna, it can scan for those signals in every direction. Supported by its digital hardware, Escort’s flagship reacts promptly and at an extremely impressive range.
Moreover, this unit just goes beyond my expectation as it gave lightning fast response. Thanks to their patented (DSP) Digital Signal Processing feature,
Alert Feature
As indicated in its name, the star of the show is the 360 degree arrow indicators that gives a full-circle protection. Upon identifying a threat, it will notify you with clear voice alerts. Now you don’t have to look at the screen but get to know immediately the threats ahead of you and menu options. The voice alerts are currently available in English and Spanish.
Based on Escort Max 360 review I read online, I decided to conduct test drivings to make sure what is said about this wonderful creation is true. During my tests, the
Control Functions
This unit has built-in GPS and Bluetooth features that allow it to integrate with your mobile apps seamlessly. You can download their award-winning mobile app, the Escort Live to get forewarnings of upcoming threats recorded and reported by other users in the area in real time.
This pricey device also equips GPS-powered autolearn tech, which allows it to file and reject unwanted fixed position false alerts; as well as a pre-loaded “Defender” database of threats from the website, which is updated weekly and can be downloaded by connecting the detector with a computer using USB port.
Help & Support
There’s hardly anything to complain about Escort’s customer service. They have everything from the online manual and quick reference guide to a decent FAQs page; their contact information is available on website, either you want to live chat, call their toll free or send them an email.
Conclusion
In a nutshell, I truly recommend this detector to those who are of little concern about price. Even though it initially costs you a lot, that investment is to save you many times from speed tickets!
