Rating  - Wonderful
The Cobra XRS-9930 is absolutely a great radar detector. I used it the same week it arrive for a trip to Springfield, IL and it worked great without any issues whatsoever. I highly recommend this unit to anyone.

Rating - Dependability at an Affordable Price.
I have used cobra radar detectors for many years. I have been satisfied with their performance and technology. The XRS-9930 is the best radar detector to date and the multi color screen is fantastic. It has saved me from many tickets so far and with Amazon's great price every one should have one. Sure, it doesn't point in witch direction the police are at, but then again your not paying over $300.00!
Rating  - All the bells and whistles and false alarms galore
This radar detector has lots and lots of features. I wish the false alarms weren't one of them. I've ended up disabling many of the detection methods because I haven't found an incidenence when those additional methods saved me. For example, VG2 detection seemed to go off a lot and the only thing I could see is other people with radar detectors anywhere near me. It detects what it says it does, you just need to learn real from fake with this one. I want my low end Whistler radar detector I gave my wife back. When it went off, it was the real deal.
Rating  - Good but not great
The Cobra XRS 9930 is a good detector for the price. Now that it retails on here in the low $100s, it's not a bad deal. It's not the king of the road for detectors but for this price point, it's great and dare I say it, has great features. The screen seems little but is packed with info. The compass and volt meter are a great touch. The audio is very attention getting unless you have the stereo up loud... There is the option to plug in an external speaker from a 3rd party if you have to have it.
If you turn off the unnecessary detection features like SWS, Ku, POP, VG2, and Spectre, you'll have a decent detector that doesn't false much. Just don't wait for alerts to ramp up to level 5. Be on the lookout as soon as you start to get an alert that you know isn't where you normally get a false alarm. I've passed cops and never had mine go above level 1. But it DID alert.
True radar detector fanatics don't like Cobra because their circuitry causes false alerts on nearby radar detectors and their marketed to sound waay better than they are. But if all you care about is a decent detector for the price, this one will do. The only alternative in this price range with better performance is the Whistler XTR-690. It's a great detector that runs even with the XRS 9930 in some forms of detection and bests it in others. But if you have your heart set on this detector, it won't be a bad buy for the budget.
