Valentine1 is what I recommend. I would not get a cheap detector. It will give you confidence at the most inopportune time. I've used detectors since '84 starting with a noname brand, then the Escort, then a Passport, then another Escort. I switched to Valentine1 when I could get no customer support from Escort and I kept getting false signals. Being put on hold 45 minutes was not unheard of when calling the company. The later model Escort was supposed to pick up laser but would go off when driving into the sun.
The Valentine1 has detected laser accurately on multiple occasions in enough time for me to slow down. It works great on regular radar, the directional information is invaluable, and it seldom if ever falses.
True story: My first noname brand waited until the officer was standing at my window writing a ticket before it sounded an alert. We both got a big laugh from it.
