Passport 8500 X50 gets pretty good reviews. I've got one for sale if interested since I live in the Communist Welfare of VA. Though the $40 radar detector fee is much cheaper than the $3500 speeding fine. (if doing 20+ over)

I had an X50 and it fried, then they would not take it back so i am without a radar for now. But i am saving up for a Valentine 1 unit. It is an awesome unit and is well worth the $400 price tag.

I've got teh 8500 x50 and have had great luck with it. (when its turned on 
)
But I am looking to get the Valentine V1 someday and move the Passport to my daily driver which I'm in much more and actually speed in more.

You really are an idle b*stard aren't you...lol
Google'd it for you...here:

This might be a better option here in Europe:
BTST Radar Detector
Both are technically illegal in Continental Europe BTW, but legal in the UK...

Why do you think the latter is better for Europe?

Could somebody please explain why we need radar detectors? All you need to do is observe the speed limit and obey it ! Am I missing some aspect of their nesessity?

Hmmm...
5-Band radar detection including the new Ku band complete protection (from my vague recollections this is the same type of radar used on the 'old' Soviet ZSU-23A radar-controlled AAA gun...I guess if it picks up F-16s at low level it should pick up our cars...).
Specially tuned 1000MHz bandwidths on both X and K frequencies.
Undetectable Stealth Technology.
360 degree radar protection - protects from all sides.
Separate audio and visual indicators - tells you exactly what you are detecting.
Full laser detection - detects the latest laser devices.
Yeah...sounds like it'll cover all the bases...
also found this one:
Snooper SD715is

Well, I guess that explains why the cops in W.V. upon pulling you over for speeding will request your radar detector ( and you BETTER hand it to him) and right in front of you, will smash it to bits! I guess they don't like people who speed and break the law because they sometimes like to!
