Whistler XTR-140 Radar Detector Review

If you're looking for a low cost, value for money radar detector, the Whistler XTR-140 Radar Detector could be just the device for you. Retailing for under $100, this detector has everything you would expect from a standard radar detector, without all the bells and whistles, for a fraction of the price of some of the more popular brands.

We wanted to see whether the Whistler XTR-140 Radar Detector was any good (i.e. if it actually provided us with enough warning time and a decent on-road range) - so we put it to the test to find out!

Whistler XTR-695SE Radar / Laser Detector Review

For the technologically minded folk out there, we have found a special product for you. Boasting possibly the most complex and sophisticated band notification system in the industry, the Whistler XTR-695SE Radar / Laser Detector is not for the faint hearted.

We recently tested this machine out on the open road, and whilst it is slightly embarrassing to have to admit it, we did have to consult the user manual on the first run, to determine exactly what it was that the system was telling us. Once we understood it though, it was like a magical clairvoyant device was permanently attached to our windscreen!

Whistler PRO-78 SE Radar Detector Review

If you're looking for a radar detector which has a major focus on cutting out false signals, and providing heightened sensitivity to all band types whilst out on the open road, the Whistler PRO-78 SE Radar Detector may be the perfect choice for you.

Recently, Whistler (the manufacturer) has undergone a few structural changes to their company, and this is in fact the first product to be released from them since this time.

So, it does well on paper, but how well does it do in reality? We put it to the test to find out.

Whistler RLC-100 Speed Camera Detector Review

Whilst it is unable to detect modern law enforcement bands such as K, Ka, or Ku - the Whistler RLC-100 Speed Camera Detector fulfils another function for motorists who are always on the move. How many times have you driven in unfamiliar territory, only to receive a speeding infringement a few days down the track - due to a minor 5 or 10 mph breach of the limit?

If this has happened to you before (or even a few times) - it's probably time you considered a product such as the Whistler RLC-100 Speed Camera Detector. So what exactly does the RLC-100 do, and how does it work? You'll have to read on to find out.

Whistler XTR-540 Cordless Radar Detector Review

With its cordless design and incredible power saving and utilization technology, the Whistler XTR-540 Cordless Radar Detector represents a milestone in radar detector development. Whistler has been working hard over the last 2 years to boost its image, by providing a number of products to the market which have consistently performed at an exemplary level - so much so that many radar detector reviewers are now using Whistlers specifications as a benchmark for testing other models.

We decided to put this particular model to the test, to see exactly how well this cordless version could perform, given the lack of a fixed power source. Here are our findings.

Whistler XTR-695 Radar Detector Review

In the past, we've reviewed a number of products from Whistler, which have proven to be on both sides of the usability spectrum - from extremely easy to use through to very complex and sophisticated.

With the Whistler XTR-695 Radar Detector, the manufacturer has clearly looked to place the model in the middle ground (no man's land), by providing the basic features by default, with many advanced features in the background which can be optionally turned on or off as necessary.

We took an in depth look at this device, putting it through our usual checklist of necessary features and specifications, to see whether or not the mixture of sophistication and simplicity was balanced or alternatively a little out of skew.

Whistler PRO-3450 Remote Installation Radar Detector Review

It would be fair to say that we never saw this one coming. A remote installed, professional level Whistler radar detector - without the price tag of a diamond earring set. Clearly, we were excited when the Whistler PRO-3450 Remote Installation Radar Detector appeared in our mail box, and our review has been done with just as much enthusiasm.

In the next few paragraphs, we'll reveal our findings on the testing of the PRO-3450. We took the time to install it - by the book - in our test vehicle, to see whether the exterior sensors could prove more efficient than a wind shield mounted version.

Whistler XTR-265 Laser / Radar Detector Review

Talk about a blast from the past! The Whistler XTR-265 Laser / Radar Detector is one of the first models in the Whistler XTR range, and as such, a number of modern features are missing from the device. Ku band, for example, is nowhere to be found.

However, once you compare the features with the price, the cynicism begins to subside, and the abilities of this machine become clearer. Hence, in the interests of transparency and honesty, we set out to review the XTR-265 (even though we have done so before) - to see exactly where it stands against the competition today.

Whistler XTR-330 Laser / Radar Detector Review

Yet another addition by Whistler to the XTR range, the XTR-330 makes improvements on the XTR-265 and XTR-140, but stops short of becoming a mid-range radar detector (both in terms of design, technology, and performance).

In our last review of the season, we wanted to give the Whistler XTR-330 Laser / Radar Detector a decent test to see whether or not it was still a valid product in today's market. Sure - it's capable of detecting modern radar and laser signals, but does the performance and range stack up to those mid-ranged devices which retail for an extra $50 or so dollars?
