cobra radar

Im in the market to purchase a radar and im looking for something cheap. What do yall think of the cobra radars that are under 100$ around 70-80. Its called the cobra xrs 9430. Anyone that has this give me some info on how it is. i also want to know if it detects radars, lasers, and speed cameras or not.


I also have 20% window tints and idk if radar detectors work with tints lemme know.

Thanks

Give me $100, and that would be just like you buying a Cobra RD.

In Radar Detectors, you really do get what you pay for.

Spend some money, and look into Bel, Escort, Valentine One

I have this radar and got it from pepboys for $100. Its mounted on my drivers side in the tinted strip at the top of the windshield, idk what tint that is but i also 15% tint on all other windows. It works well and has saved me from cops numerous times. The range is probably not the greatest, but i dont have anything to compare it to. also, there have been times when the laser has falsely gone off when i floored the car and scared the sh*t out of me (apparently due to a power surge?)

Overall, i'd say its a good value and works well for the money

Spend a little more money and get a ESCORT or V1. When you consider buying a radar detector you dont want to go cheap for no reason. Essentially its there to work and save you on that speeding ticket right?

I had a V1 and sold it because of all the false alarms and got a escort 9500i. I just got the 9500i upgraded to the 9500ix. IMHO the 9500ix is by far the best detector on the market today.
