Great detection, easy to use and install.
by bbealmba ,Jan 05 '04
Pros: Great detection. Easy to install. Excellent features. Cons: Price.
Replaced my Solo with this unit because I got tired of its size and the constant battery changing. Detection is same as the Solo which I rate as excellent. The Auto mode seems to block out most false signals until you are right on top of them but still detect police radar at good distances. I have been very pleased.

Escort Passport 7500s radar detector SUCKS
by zato603 ,Apr 23 '04
Pros: easy to set up, loud alert Cons: laser false alerts when talking on the cellphone!
fix from Escort will reduce sensitivity.
The "new and improved" Escort 7500s radar detector still has much to improve on. I noticed everytime I was talking on my cellphone, the laser alert went nuts. Either pull the plug or hit the mute. I called Escort customer service and waited over 20 minutes for someone to answer. It turns out that it is a common fault. I have to send it back to them at my expense. They will shield the unit better to block out the cellphone signals but it will also reduce the sensitivity. That sucks! I wanted to pay the difference to upgrade the unit to their top model but was denied. All I got was a "sorry". It shows how much they stand behind their product.
As far as sensitivity goes, I had it on the highway with a new Valetine. The Valentine outperformed the 7500s in sensitivity and less false alarms. The signal indicator is cool and was missed when I had the 7500s alone. I cannot justify the cost of the Valentine but regret owning the 7500s now.
The 7500s is very easy to program and the audible alert is loud (but unwanted at the false laser alerts).

I've had this detector for...
by chris712_dt3000 ,Jan 06 '03
I've had this detector for a little under a year, and I have only had one problem. I got a ticket one time for speeding, I was hit by Ka radar. I think it was instant-on because it did not go off much at all. X and K bands are picked up great on this, and that was the first time I have had trouble. 63 in a 35 (OUCH)!!!! Anyways, I would recommend this detector, it has saved my butt many times.

by jimneycricket_dt3000 ,Jan 15 '03
When I first bought it, it took me a while to get it use to the truck. But I soon fell in love with it. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a starter radar detector. The 8500 has the balls for todays police tricks. So if you don't have the money for the 8500, at least save your money for this one, it will be worth the wait.
