Strengths: Attractive, well built, and it has been alerting me of cop radar. It also has the ability to turn on and off the detection of all of the different type signals it detects.
Weaknesses: It can be too sensitive, give false alarms or a combination of both - Occasionally the unit will shut itself down saying the batteries are dead only after a short time, but in reality they are not.
Summary: Having the ability to turn on and off types of detection helps reduce the amount of false alarms that go off, especially around shopping centers, which I think is a nice feature. --
Regarding the rechargeable batteries, for some reason the unit thinks the batteries are dead pre-maturely, thus it shuts itself down. When that happens, I turn the unit back on to see I have plenty of battery life left (the units displays percentage of battery life when the power is initially turned on). --
Regarding the manufacturer, Whistler: My detector was shipped without a home charger. I then contacted the company I bought the detector from. They told me that a home charger was not supposed to be included in the accessory pack that came with particular Radio Shack version that I received. I called Whistler to verify their story and they said that a home charger should have came with the unit. My initial thought was that now I was going to have to fight with the company I bought the detector from but Whistler offered to send me the charger free and did not charge any shipping fees.--
Although I am sure this is not the best detector out there (made by Whistler or any other company), but for the money I spent, I find that the value is great and I feel I got my money's worth. I also like the way Whistler handled my charger problem, quickly and without any hassles. Great customer service.
