How effective are they for use here in our State? I've owned other brands over the years but they were pretty much worthless and now after 5 years or so of not having owned one, I'm debating whether or not I should pick one up.

really effective for me. i live in bay area and v1 helps me a lot on the freeways. cops here using Ka alert type radars. Sometimes laser. Everything else is the crap. In the city is not that effective, too much alerts. Depends what kind of driving you do
