I cant afford the V1 or Escort... so I am looking at cheaper options. I heard that the PNI Sensoro Traveller is just a step below these radar detectors, and is excellent. I can pick it up locally for $100. Does anyone have this radar and how much do you like it?

besides the v1 and the escort thats all i can offer you

 

Thank you, but that is not what i was looking for. V1 and Escort are not an option. I have heard that the pni traveller, is excellent and actually outperforms the bel 985 for ka. I want to know if anyone actually has any experience with the pni sensoro traveller.

 

Does the local shop offer a return policy?

Can you try it out for 30 days and see how it performs?

I doubt you'll get many replies from people here who have had experience with it. It's a V1/8500 crowd here.

 

my buddy has it and it does pretty dam well, my v1 only out does it by maybe 30 yards, if I didnt get the v1 as a gift I'd definitely pick up the PNI man, plus it's cordless

off topic.... were u at HIN last night? When I went to say hi to Stu, were u walkin with Brett? I thought I saw u there

 

Yea I was with phillips, shit I didnt even know you were there.... I didnt know you were coming. I think I saw juker as I left with Stu, does he have a black 01 or 02 Cls with comptech exhaust?

 

Get a cheaper escort like the 7500. Check on ebay you can probably pick one up for about $100....

 

Why, when I can get a new pni, which is just below the 8500 and V1. I just wanted some feedback before i bought. I think Im gonna pick up the PNI when I get some money for chanukah.

 

Check out this site for a review on that PNI Sensoro radar detector. http://att.dealtime.com/xPO-Pni_Inc_Sensoro_Traveller

 

Good luck. You'll need it.

 

Huh?

 

i think he means buying that no-name radar detector is a roll of the dice.

 

First choice: Valentine One
Second Choice: Escort 8500
Third Choice: Drive slower
Fourth Choice: Buy a cheap detector that probably won’t work

 

you guys with your only two option radar thing is stupid as hell, i think the pni will work very effectively, and im gonna give it a shot.

 

GO for it...
But, why ask for advice if you already have your mind set?

 

And what do I know anyway.
I’ve only been driving for 20-Years and using various V1 detectors since they first started selling them back in 1991.

I asked how well it worked, not since its not V1 or Escort its a piece of shit.

Not telling you what to get. From my experiences in S FL. You do not want to rely on a cheap detector. I see more, & hear more people who get pulled over cause they have this false sense of security from a poor detector. While the cheaper units may be ok on HW trips, the pigs on motorcycles in gangs of 5-10 that shoot laser/radar in Palm beach & in Boca will get your ass. I had a cheap detector, & as a result got 1 speeding ticket. Now I have something else. Yeah they cost money, but think of it as insurance even 1 save could pay for it. Christmas is coming. Try to get it as a gift, or use some christmas money to buy it, & just save.
