Nice Radar Detector on Groupon!

http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-esco...ctor?c=all&p=7

Thought I'd share the info for those speed demons out there :)

They are refurbed, but does anyone own this one? How do you like it?

Heard about it. Not good things either. I was told to stay away from the Solo's and go with the V1 by multiple people when I was looking around. Haven't personally tried it though so you may want to do a little research of your own instead of taking my third party word for it.

Review, if anyone wants to read.

The Escort Passport Solo S2 is unquestionably the most sophisticated, high-performance cordless radar detector on the planet. But having witnessed the lackluster Ka-band sensitivity of past competitors, the Solo would need to deliver better performance--by an order of magnitude--to win me over.
After a week spent field-testing this cordless model, I'd say it has succeeded. In the Straightaway Test the Escort Passport Solo spotted the lethal Ka-band radar from 5,325 feet away. It was even better against X- and K-band radar. This would be superior performance for a corded model; for a cordless detector it's little short of an engineering miracle.

A friend of mine has a V1 and he has never got pulled over ever since. Bang for your buck.
