Works without killing the,' your,' pocket.

by A-RDR-GUY Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 17 '01
Pros: Distinct ID Alerts; Clear Readout
Cons: No text display; Voice unclear; Alerts could be a little louder
The Beltronics Corporation has good rate detectors at a respectable prices. The 870 Bel, again answers that budget minded consumer, with easy pricing.

The 870 is using the standard 800 series casing. The unit incorporates 4 buttons on the...

Bel 870 Radar Detector, Performance on a budget (by the motorcycle cop....again)

by tejones , Mar 20 '01
Pros: Budget priced, but a good performer
Cons: More money in the Bel model line will buy even more sensitivity.
(NOTE: This is a continuation of radar detector opinions I have already written. Rather than have everyone grow tired of watching me repeat myself in each opinion, please read my opinions on the Bel 980 and the Cobra ESD-6500. I’m not trying to drive up...

BUSTED - on the Autobahn!!!

by cjaugey , Jan 22 '00
Pros: other car geeks will think you're cool
Cons: you won't know whether it's your cell phone or a radar cop, until the photo cops' flash goes off...
I own a BEL 855STI radar detector, which I purchased with the intention of protecting my wallet (and driver license) when driving on the Autobahn in the western region of Germany, where I live.

I'll begin with a few words on what this machine...

Stay in the clear- my guarantee

by afeldman14 , May 27 '01
Pros: Fully functional detector- moderate price- necessary features, sleek design
Cons: Difficult to achieve stable mounting position, not the highest model- obviously not TOP performance
Now that I have my Bel 870, I am a fearless speeder in my Acura 3.2 TL. I'm not a maniac of a driver, but occasionally I do tend to push the pedal. Before I invested in the Bel 870, I was reliant on a sub-par model I bought at a clearout sale....

I'm happy

by propellerhead , Mar 06 '01
Pros: Simple, entertaining and functional.
Cons: Poor design for the visor mount clip.
The buttons and functions are simple to use. The volume is controlled by pressing and holding the power button. Kinda weird at first, but once you have the volume set, you don't need to fiddle with it at all. I definitely prefer the electronic...

It does the job

by pascal1 , Jan 04 '01
Pros: Not Annoying, effective
Cons: Bad Visor clip, some false Ka alerts
I decided to rewrite my opinion after having my detector for a good four months. In the last four months I have only been pulled over once. This was for speeding, but the cop was using instant on. I don't think any other detector could have done any...

It works.

by Halflife12 , Sep 02 '00
Pros: it does pick up the radar and lazer
Cons: it also picks up other frequency's that cause it to go off
Yes folks it does work. I have many times broken the law
by speeding up and down the highways and this
device must have saved me at least ten times. I still
haven't recieved a ticket yet. Statistically radar
detectors lower your...
