I've owned BOTH. V1 works, but is sooooo overrated. If you want to spend the extra money on nothing, get the V1. I got the cordless Escort and it DID suck. Then I bought the cord for it and hooked it into my cig. lighter. THat makes all the difference in the world. It was the best detector I've EVER used. I swear I knew exactly how far a cop was by the blips and how they increased by closing the distance. Very consistent and on the money..everytime.
I've had my V1 for about a month and it's actually so fucking confusing it sucks ass, tracking 8 fucking bogies and 7 of them sliding doors at red lobster and Kaynes furniture stores, 4 arrows blinking and 4 blips going off, all different tones..... I wish I would have bought another escort,this V1 is good, but no escort. I dropped it like 20x and the laser would act funny on it after about the 15th drop so that's why I ditched the Escort.
The v1 is great on long stetches of road... Just as good as the Escort.
Fuck, and I even bought 2 V1's, one for me, one for my girl. What a waste of fucking money.... Sorry V1 lovers, I've tried and own both.
