It falls short, but it is also the prettiest radar detector on the market, That excellent HD screen and copper accent color is just amazing, no other radar detector looks as stylish as the GT-7. The V6 is an older build, and even it has access to the wonderful Escort Live app. The issue is the lack of app integration. The mounting bracket is okay, far from the best, but it gets the job done. The core functions of the GT-7 are fine, it has good range, all the protection modes you could want and access to Beltronics excellent Smart coil cable. The only reason the GT-7 is on this list is because I was too embarrassed to fill it with legacy Cobra builds alone. This is on the surface a better model than the V6, and is broadly considered one of Beltronics best models, but I don’t think that’s true.

I have taken into account the price, the function, the aesthetics and the freebies, the more a model has to offer per dollar the higher I have ranked the thing. A few of the older legacy models have less advanced filtering, and so are a little noisier over all, but so long as you expect that you can mitigate it. Improved filtering algorithms and external integration are the order of the day, and I have made sure that every model in this top ten has at least one of those. The real changes have been happening under the hood. There has only been a few advancements in the last few decades, which is why you’ll see the venerable Valentine One on this list alongside the ultra modern Max II HD. The core underlying hardware of radar detectors is essentially the same. Granted, not a huge deal that last one, but it is the primary reason the GT-7 is on this list, so it matters to me it seems. They have to be affordable, the have to have access to an app, they need to have a good feature set, and if at all possible they should look good. On the market right now are a wide variety of models, enough to suit every consumer, so rather than simply listing off the most expensive and feature packed radar detectors I am going to be judging these builds on what I think makes a good radar detector. I’ve been thinking about this article since the beginning, and my short list has changed several times. The top ten, where I take a look back over all the models I have tested and try to figure out the best.
