This radar detector replaced a Bel 980, which was a very fine but older technology detector. In my opinion, the RX55 is much better at reducing false alarms, especially on the highway, and has outstanding detection of police radar (mostly Ka bands). In some instances I've seen several miles, even with instant on radar. Haven't run in to laser yet so can't speak to that at this point. I really like the features and the programability of the unit. Only complaint I have is mine is hard-wired using Bel's visor clip which kinda sucks.
I love this radar detector. It's my first one ever, so I don't really have anything to compare it to but it seems to pick up cops before I can see them so I'm guessing that's a very good thing. I would recommend this product highly!
