Escort Solo S2 - The King of Cordless Detectors

bysoupcraze Jan 18, 2004
26 Helpfuls 27 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cordless, Better than older Solos, Nice performance for cordless
Cons Expensive
Recommended it? Yes

I have previously written a review on the Escort Solo S2 and it got moved to a different category, plus I was less experienced then so found my review to be very unsatisfactory. Times have changed, and I've decided to try this incredibly popular and expensive radar detector again. The Escort Solo... Read full review »

"Solo" in the Game of Cordless

byA-RDR-GUY Sep 6, 2005
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cordless (no cords); Visual layout
Cons Cordless (batt life); night operations; price
Recommended it? Yes

Escort, after years of trying to get a Cordless model to operate efficiently, finally aspired to having a Highly workable Cordless unit.

Since the Technology merger with Beltronics years ago, Escort has been producing Top contending models (8500 & 8500 X50.) With this new innovation of... Read full review »

Good basic detector but lacking in critical areas

byjlc2005 Apr 11, 2006
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, sleek styling, above average performance with conventional radar.
Cons Does not detect photo radar effectively.
Recommended it? No

The Solo S2 is a good, tough, reliable radar detector which keeps false alarms to a minimum and provides good versatility and performance on X, K and Ka radar bands. Distance seems to be equal to or better than a corded Bel model with fewer false alarms.

The Solo S2 is easy to move from... Read full review »

First Impressions

Pros Comes in a nice small semi hard case.<br>No cords!<br>Display...
Cons still evaluating it's weaknesses
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Escort Solo S2 because I crushed the power cord end for my Beltronics 955 in the door. Since I've had the 955 for a number of years I decided to treat myself to a belated birthday present with a new radar detector without a power cord.

The first thing I love about it is there is... Read full review »

Never alone with this Solo S2!

bysistah-c Jan 29, 2004
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Confident detection range; large, clear LCD display; ease of use; smart design;...
Cons Pricey; audio alert volume could be louder. Not much to complain about here...
Recommended it? Yes

I'll admit it...I'm often guilty of coveting thy electronic store's new things. Even if I already have a fairly new gadget I like and use, I'm green with envy about a new product I wasn't warned about that's much cooler and much better than the thing I was stuck with. I know that's a ridiculous,... Read full review »

Convenient - But Lacking In Many Ways

bymncruz Apr 16, 2004
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cordless which makes it easy to move from car to car, includes nice carrying case.
Cons Poor display, poor placement of mute button, shorter detection range than Valentine One.
Recommended it? No

Over the past 18 years, I've always driven with whatever the "best" detector was at the time. For the past 12 years, I've used nothing but a Valentine One. And while I love the V1, I really wanted something that I could easily install in my new car (i.e. no power cable to install) and that I could... Read full review »

Great Detector!!!

byterrapin69 Feb 9, 2009
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great range, portable
Cons Expensive, alerts could be louder
Recommended it? Yes

For a cordless (even for a corded model), this Escort satisfies even the most daring of speeders and car enthusiasts.  The selectable alerting capability (Highway, City, Auto) allows the user to avoid many of X band's alerts caused so often by automatic door openers and roadway signage (Those...

Escort Solo S2 - a solid, dependable detector

byultrasport Sep 10, 2004
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent range and good sensitivity. Attractive appearance and display. Easy to mount...
Cons Less range than the Escort 8500.
Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased this detector after extensively researching it's abilities and weaknesses. Here's my opinion:
- I already own an Escort 8500, so I have an excellent detector benchmark to compare it to. I purchased the S2 because I was reluctant to run a hard-wire up the A-pillar in my... Read full review »

NOT IMPRESSED!!!

byjvas2 Feb 20, 2004
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Nice design, ease of use, somewhat small could be smaller, great battery life.
Cons WAY TOO many false alarms, VG-2 Radar Detector Detector Immunity is the WORST!! Expensive.
Recommended it? No

I purchased the S2 Cordless because of its convenience and supposed features. Well, I live in Canada and I get tons of false alarms in city mode all the time to the point where I just turn it off it is that annoying...worse than a wife!! Secondly, it DOES NOT protect you against VG-2 Radar Detector... Read full review »

Pros EXCELLENT detection range, good control & display layout, cordless, beautiful.
Cons Eats batteries fast (about 25 hours of operation per pair of AA)
Recommended it? Yes

My last radar detector was an X-Band only Uniden about 15 years ago. I'm impressed with how far they've come since then.

We just got back from a 3,000 mile road trip through Oregon, California and Nevada including several major cities. The Solo S2 was 100% accurate on it's detection -... Read full review »
