Valentine One or Escort Max 360c

nicktechla · 01-03-2018, 03:30 PM

Soo, I read about 50 articles on comparisons.. Still on the fence. What do you guys think for a V1 vs a 360?

Can I throw in another option?

Besides my first detector in the 90's (Whistler), I've been a huge Escort fan for over 20 years but there are other brands and models that have passed them up....especially for the money.

I still have the first V1 I ever bought back in 1994. Not a typo. It still works and I’ve never sent it in for service.

I have 4 total now and won’t ever buy anything else even if there are technically better ones on the market. Mike Valentine builds his stuff to last and it works.

UNIDENNNNNNN R3 its the best hands down. Great filtering and the best performance but one thing is you have to manually mute when it triggers a false alarm (barely happens) and its 300 dollars cheaper. Check out vortex radar videos on youtube

I bought the first battery powered detector in 1991, the Escort Solo. I had it untl 2004 when it passed away. Haven't bought another one since. You have me looking though.

Escort Max360C...has a lot more bells and whistles that I find important. It also kept me ticket free on my epic road trip from Spokane, WA to Las Vegas and back last year.
