What are some Legitimately good Radar Detectors?
I've always wondered about these and I figure they might be a good investment if they actually work. Anyone have any ideas?

I have an Escort Passport IQ -

Best thing i've ever spent a dime on and it has saved me probably upwards of $10,000.
Highly reccomend any radar detector from Escort

And, though this probably won't affect you guys much in the Midwest and out West, the use of (but not simple posession of) radar-detectors is illegal in VA and DC. Cops have the legal authority to impound them if they are caught in use...and they have "detector-detectors" that can tell if you are actually using one.

Valentine One FTW!!! Saved my *** sooooooo many times 
Just don't forget that it only detects the usual radar signals. It won't do anything for you if the cop is pacing you or you fly by a cop who doesn't have his radar on at the moment or is using laser instead to clock you. No radar detector is 100%, just remember. lol

jmsharp02 - was gonna say only 2 good brands - valentine and escort, but as you can see, all the posts support this.
valentine MIGHT be slightly more sensitive and gives control freaks arrows to look at and escort has other tech like gps tracking of speed traps, and such.
i use an escort solo 2 these days. it's battery or cord, and i use eneloop rechargeables that last about 3-4 months between recharges. i've had others before - they've all saved me thousands. a no brainer for everyone, not just speed demons. speed traps are the new tax collection.
they like to sit right inside 35 limit areas right after the limit was 45 or 55 so it's easy to catch people. everyone on fl interstates does 80 while the limit is 70, so they can catch people all day long if they want. so because i end up either speeding to go with the flow, or have people riding my rear bumper because i'm at the limit, it's a no win, so the detector at least alerts me to the tax collectors.
