"I ordered two of these detectors, one for a friend and one for myself...I highly recommend this detector for someone on a budget...I returned this item and would not recommend it..." read more »

"I am writing a special review for this radar detector for the people shopping for a superb radar detector priced at a reasonable level and offers very good protection...Good price, all band/laser in a nice basic package, attractive unit Short range(but enough), lots of false alarms I bought this for a recent 12 hour drive, and was impressed with it...None I purchased this radar detector at Walmart for around 40$ and it was well worth it! Its sleek looking, loud and alerts me every time at a pretty good distance when a cop is using his radar gun..." read more »

"The Whistler 1788 is styled very similarly to the very attractive new Whistler 1778 and 1776 models...Chief engineer Mike Batten says the big battery pack was a deliberate move, enabling the 1788 to operate without a duty cycle, the only cordless model to do so...The NiMH batteries re pricey compared to the AA alkalines of the competition...It's very good on laser as well-and vastly superior to the PNI Silver Bullet and Steel Eye, both of which are nearly blind to lasers..." read more »

"I have had this detector for about 6 months now and it has saved me from several radar traps already...If you have questions whether this cheap radar detector will be good or it is a POS, it is a good radar detector, and is very good in detecting laser and radar...It works, in that it goes off when there is a radar source close, it sucks in that It HAS TO BE CLOSE!!!
