Best way to save money on a Valentine One:

Call Valentine Research at 1 800 331 3030 and ask for a returned V1 and you will get 10% off the retail price of $399. It will be the latest version V1.8 POP2 w/ Euro-mode and 3.863 firmware and that comes with all the accessories and a 1 year warranty.


There are big problems with the new Escort 9500i and the majority of people are returning them because of less range than the Valentine One and the 8500X50.

They are locking out signals from door openers and the 9500i is not alerting to cops that shoot radar in that area. Owners of the 9500i are also complaining that signals that they lock out are not staying locked out from the day before. They also say that their Sirius/XM radio is cutting out because of the 9500i and its GPS function.

If you want the best laser jammer, get the AL, LPP, or the soon to be released in the U.S. Laser Interceptor.

I disagree. When I got my MS3 I bought a V1 to go with it. I couldn't stand the thing. I kept turning off features to get it to shut up, but in order to be useful at all, you have to put up with so much extraneous noise that you get numb to it and just hit the mute every time it goes off. Sure the information is there for you to figure out what's going on, but you have to pay so much attention to it, you can't drive. Almost as bad as a cell phone! I sold the thing and got a 9500i and I love it. When it goes off you know it means it. It's saved my butt a number of times.

IMO you cant beat the direction detector feature of the V1, Its outstanding. Mine has saved my ass numerous times in the past.
