My detector , an original Cinncinatti Microwave Escort ca 1984, has been my faithful road companion for almost 20 years. I had it upgraded in '89 and it has worked flawlessly since new.I don't have laser detection but the police here still use the X and K radar guns most of the time.I've been lucky so far and have only had 3 speeding tickets with it (none in the Benz's). I think it's paid for itself
