V1 is a proven radar detector and is very reliable. It's big and bulky looking, but it's functional and saves you the headache of a ticket.
Beware though, all radar detectors are useless until it's too late with Lidar.

Actually I rather be hit with LIDAR because there are actually countermeasures for it ie. Laser Jammers (as long in your state it is legal). The deadliest in my opinion is called Instant On Radar. That's when the cop won't turn his radar on until you're like very close to him thus making any radar detector useless unless the cop hits another car in front of you and gives you a warning to slow down. Otherwise, if you're alone, you're toast.
