Do you guys think that the added features in the 360 make it worth the price? I had a V1 about 4 years back and it's for sure no frills straight to the point. But I think it still a good value. I'm pretty on the fence about what I want to get. |

To me, the Escort 360 would be worth it were I buying now. As I already have a V1 and P-Max, I'm not going to replace either with a 360. The reason I won't do that is because for as much as I miss the arrows, when I drive around D.C., it's not that big a deal to just slow down when the P-Max goes off, even though I don't know from where the radar signal comes. All the best.

I'm waiting for a few reviews before I place my order. I don't have a radar detector, and I'm thinking now is the time to get one with the new car!

Well, there are already biased reviews on RadarRoys site.
I'm waiting for my enthusiast forum to test one. Shouldn't be long and I'll post a link when they do test one.

The 360 Max is huge! I hope the longer term testing comes in favorably...I'd like to have the arrows of the V1 but also the features of a modern radar detector.

I want to see a solid review and the simple version for detector n00bs like me. I just want solid detection with few false alerts. I'm not too concerned about red light cameras and some of the fancy features, but if they are worth it... I'm willing to purchase.

You can get a new V1 for $359 and with Yav1 you can do the same lock outs as the 360. I'm still awaiting the 360 vs. V1 test and will post when available

If you don't need arrows I would seriously consider the Uniden LRD 950

I think i'm leaning more towards the V1 now. I like the Escort's features but I think it may be overkill for me. Still would like to see some more reviews/testing. Hopefully more come out

Net, I don't care about a pretty OLED display or arrows, I care only about accurate detection from the greatest distance.
The thing I think is a gimmick with all these "New" Escort Radars is they never say the detection technology is now better than the older radars. For example, how do I know that this new fancy smancy $650 Max 360 radar is actually going to detect farther and better than my current 9500iX? That's simply not very clear in their messaging. |

Bumping this thread. I just bought, but have not opened, an 8500 x50 and a 9500ix. Wondering if I should use either one or get a RedLine. I usually don't speed in cities so I'm not sure whether the GPS function is useful to me. I have heard greay things about the x50 as well as 9500ix. Please comment.

I only need one. I bought those two because they were on sale and my intention is to keep only one. Either that or return both and get something with more range. Between the x50 and 9500ix, I think I will go with the 9500ix even though it is 2x the money. Just unsure if I want to splurge for the RedLine. The Max 360 is the best of all worlds but the mediocre reviews and $649 MSRP are turning me off.
