Valentine 1. I love mine and would hate to be without it. I love the arrows and the bogey counter has saved me before. They are very sensitive, and will warn you WAY in advance. I've also had laser warnings before that have saved me.

That said, I do regularly get false alarms driving past shopping centers. Also, water treatment plants. I've even had other radar detectors in cars behind me set my V1 off.

You'll get laser false alarms from some red neon lights and from the led brake lights of GM SUVs. Also, the adaptive cruise control in Infinity SUVs will set off your laser alert if they are behind you on the freeway.

I'd rather get false alarms then not get an alarm when it's important.
