| User Reviews |  | My first detector, worked perfectly
rating: 5
I purchased this radar detector after driving from California to Michigan and preparing for the return drive. My wife and I wanted to make better time heading back and I did my research and had Amazon expedite it to my Dad's house in Michigan.
I have to say that this unit met our expectations and surpassed them. We drove through Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and California and we were warned of police with their radar on way before we ever saw them. We received very few false alarms and only when we were off the highway. We can definitely say without a doubt that this detector saved us from at LEAST 3 tickets over the 24+ hours of driving. If you are taking a road trip and plan on driving over the speed limit you cannot be without a radar detector of some kind, and this one worked great for us. The voice alerts were great and the included smart chord was very useful.
BTW, here is some of the experience we gained from the trip, and this is applicable to any detector: If K or X band radar is detected then it could easily be a automatic door opener or one of those roadside units that the police set up that tells you how fast you are going, but it could just as easily be a cop too, you never know until you see the source of the radar. If you ever see Ka band then it is DEFINITELY a cop and you need to take action immediately. That was our experience anyway. Hope this helps.

product works MUCH better than the 5 year old bel that i had. not sure how it compares to the other new models. False alarms are almost non-existent.

Bel Vector 995
rating: 5
This was a replacement for an older radar detector that has seen many years of service (also a Bel). So far I am completely satisfied with the new Bel Radar Detector.
Amazon had the best price and shipped promptly as usual.

Solid detector!!
rating: 4
I've had my 995 for about a week now. So I can't say too much, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
First impression, Looks nice, solid contruction, very good build quality, maybe a bit on the heavy side, but probably due to its good contruction. Button feel is nice and light, easy to use while on the road.
Coiled smart power cord is built well too, however I don't like the "phone jack" power input, but at least it keeps it neat.
I've havn't been out of the city with it yet, but around town on my commute, it only falses once each way, and in the same place, and that is on the X band which can be turned off, and the meter only reaches level 1.
I did go through a radar trap on the the Ka band and it warned me well in advance.
Display is bright enough, and voice and "chirp" alerts are more than audible, but I would've like to have seen a brighter differnt coloured warning light light to signal a warning, just in case its sunny and I got my stereo or turbo cranked up!!
All and all, so far, In a world or cheap elctronic products, Its refreshing to see such a well engineered a quality built product.....compare this to a "made in China" product and you choose this one!

Vector 995 gets the job done.
rating: 5
I've owned this product for around a year now. So far, I have yet to get any tickets while properly using the device. I drive about 10-20 mph over the speed limit on the highway and the Vector 995 has saved me numerous times. If the police are running their radar "always on", the vector 995 will pick it up with plenty of time to spare. I've run into a few times where the detector did not go off until I saw the cop, as I was breaking heavy, the detector then went off. I'm assuming that instant on radar detectors cannot be picked up until the last second.
As for "false" alarms... of course the Vector 995 gives them. I'd rather be safe than sorry. I have never received a false alarm on the Ka or Lasar bands. When I see those come up on the display, time to get busy on the brakes.
I paid around 200 on ebay for the Vector 995. It comes with a nice carrying case (which I don't use). If you can get this product for ~$200, it's a sound investment. I would purchase this product again.
