My V1 saved my butt today

[RandallNeighbour]

Another two benefits of the V1 is that it is upgradeable (read no new detectors in your future) and you can program it. I programmed it to disable reading X band altogether because where I drive, X band is only used on electronic door openers at KMart and Target and the like. So my V1 is quiet as a church mouse unless it's a newer store like Bed Bath and Beyond... and the arrows help distinguish that.

V1 all the way, baby!

The Valentine One is the most sensitive radar/laser detector in the world.

All of the top radar detectors were tested in a lab, the higher the number the better it is at detecting radar.

If you want the best radar/laser detector, get a Valentine One.

Wouldn't you have slowed down from a strong reading even without knowng where it was coming from?

Yes. But there is definitely an amount of extra comfort knowing what direction it is coming from.

Also, the Bogey counter is great. A LEO could be positioned near a known false alarm area. Normally the driver knowing he gets a false at that spot might ignore his detector. But with the V1 the Bogey counter would should 2 radar sources and the bands they are on and their directions letting you know that this time there is something else there. The V1 even prioritizes the threats by having the arrow for the bogey with the greatest threat blinking.

So what's the price of one of these V1? I have the Belltronics and am very happy. I heard the V1 was very expensive.

A ticket is expensive too and the attendant insurance cost increases. The V1 is $400 which is actually cheap for the protection and quality. Lesser detectors at maybe $200 or $300 are expensive if you get tickets using them. So just look at the the difference in price. You are paying an extra $100 to not get tickets and get the great feature.
