The same. Customers return the units under their 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. Returned units are checked and sold as refurbished. My refurbished set looked and packed just like a new unit. I can't tell the difference visually or operationally. Works well front and back and even through my rear tint film.

I'm sure it's a great radar but it seems like dated technology - I know it's a small company but they have never updated it - ever. It's been sold - same as it is today for what? 8 years? I think that by going with a bell or passport - you are buying from a larger company that can afford R&D which leads to improvements / new designs ...
I'm sure it's a great detector - but just seems a bit - - - long in the tooth as they say.

If V1 didn't do it's job, they would have been out of business a long time ago.

This couldn't be further from the truth. The look has stayed pretty consistent over the years (something that I personally like), but the internals are updated every so often.

So wrong.

Smartest $ you can spend on your car. I wasnt a believer for a while but C talked me into it and it's paid for itself several times. Silly NOT to have one.
