Best praise vs top criticism for Valentine One Gen1
Best Praise
+19 pts“Actually poor rear coverage unless he turned the radar off. My V-1 would have been singing for another mile.”

+6 pts“That's exactly what is going on. My Valentine 1 was going off for laser detection when I hit exactly 130 mph. It scared me thinking I had been hit with laser. I use the radar detector but have disabled laser detection. I contacted customer service and they told me exactly how to turn it off. All the cops I have talked to all use radar. They don't have laser detectors around my area according to everything from the local HP to the city and county cops. All still use radar guns.”
