Poor Quality Control & Support.......2005-06-16

Be warned - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Unfortunately I can not give this a Zero Star. When purchased new the scanner was faulty, and exhibited poor quality control with particles inside the scanner. It was returned for repair under warranty twice, and finally the main curcuit board was replaced.
I was present when the unit was being reassembled after the replacment of the board and was horrified to see the service tech use metholated spirits to clean the underside of the class as the owners manual clearly states not to do this !!!(it has his grubby finger prints all over it from the repair work).
Despite spending several thousand dollars on Canon products over the years, I will not be buying another Canon product.
Poor quality control and customer services can only be rewarded in this manner.

Dust Inside, aka DOA.......2002-08-17

When you get it, check the inside glass with flash light before you plug it in. Mine was peppered with grime and dust; Scans show these as white specks everywhere! I'm returning this product from company that does no quality checks on its product.

Mine also had DOA film scanner.

You can be sure I'll try to avoid all future canon products.

Veeery sloooow!!.......2002-07-29

I just purchased a 660U scanner. After a 20 minute trial I decided to return it and get my money back. It takes 6 minutes (yes six minutes) to scan a single negative in high res mode. This is absolutely useless

Almost perfect.......2002-04-18

I purchased this scanner for the 35mm negitive scanning. I wasn't disappointed. I setup the machine, installed the software and was up and running scanning negitives in about 30 Minutes. Very nice negitive scanning at 1200x1200 for the price ( I was not interested in purchasing a 400.00 film scanner). Photo scanning was simular in quality. Overall a good product.
The only thing from making it a 5-Star was the time it took to
scan negitives was about 3 minutes though it seemed like forever.

Poor photo quality scans, not worth it for the money.......2002-02-02

Bought this scanner because it was supposed to be a good photo scanner, but when i got it and set it up the quality was worse then the scanner i had gotten for about 60 bucks a year or two earlier. For just everyday scan use and not for nice photo quality scans it worked ok. Was very fast, just don't reccommend if you are looking for a high qualtiy scan. Returned and it took forever to get my money back.

Amazon.com Product Description

Protect yourself from prying radar and intrusive laser detection with the Cobra ESD-7000 radar detector. The six-band device monitors radar from the X, K, and Ka Superwide bands, while also using its 360-degree LaserEye to perceive laser signals from any direction. Should a radar or laser gun be pointed in your direction, the ESD-7000 will alert you immediately, letting you rest easy while cruising through speed traps. In addition, the ESD-7000 is immune to both VG2 and Spectre 1 technologies, making it invisible to officers scanning for radar detectors on the freeway--a common tactic in certain states. Meanwhile, drivers who want to avoid traffic snarls caused by accidents or roadwork will appreciate the Safety Alert function, which scans for emergency vehicles outfitted with Safety Alert transmitters.

Additional features include an easy-to-read LED display with simple band identification, auto and manual muting, separate modes for driving in the city and on the highway, and instant-on detection for radar guns with "pulse" signals. The ESD-7000, which includes a windshield mounting bracket and power cord, carries a one-year warranty.

Nice and Easy to use .......2007-09-19

Great and easy to use. I would recommend this product if you dont need all the gadgets and gizmos!

Best bang for your buck.......2007-08-16

You can't buy a better radar detector for this price, this is my 2nd Cobra detector in 15 years, love em.

You get what you pay for and less with Cobra detectors.......2007-07-17

This unit is cheap junk as is any detector you pay $40 for. It's just basic economics. No company is going to be benevolent and give you expensive technology for dollar store prices. I've had this unit for more than a week just for fun and it's hilarious how little it picks up. I've passed at least one speed trap, at least a dozen state troopers, and an equal number of city police. Amazingly, the whole time I've had only two hits. One was an X band constant on radar that any detector built in the last 30 years would have got and the other was a K band constant on hit that I didn't pick up until the cop was practically parked on my windshield. Good thing he was outside his jurisdiction and that I don't speed.

Notice a lot of folks have stopped using detectors because they "just don't help anymore." Well, it's because Cobra units like this have saturated the low end of the marketplace and they are JUNK. Really folks, there is a big three of radar detectors, Bel, Escort, and Valentine. Whistler also makes a couple of new units that are right in the low $100 range and are your only hope for good detection if you aren't willing to spend around $300. Go to any site that does testing of Cobras and even their priciest units just aren't worth the money. I have no axe to grind with Cobra. I wish they made better products. I had to see for myself if the low end units were as weak as I've read. Well, they are. All this unit will do, if you're lucky, is let you know you're about to get a ticket unless you're on a straight away in heavy traffic and encountering a policeman using a radar gun using very old technology. But you may not even be lucky enough for that to happen and just see flashing lights behind you.

does not work.......2007-04-25

I recently purchased a Cobra ESD 7000 Radar Detector, for myself. I have had a prior traffic offense, adn wanted to avoid any increase in my insurance rates. Also I find dificulity in hearing safety and emergency vehicles on the roadway so I wanted a way to be alerted when I should need to pull over. well, I plugged it in and it did its whole beep and whistle business to alert that it worked. It didn't beep for at least 5 days. the 5th day an ambulance nearly ran me over with it's lights on because I didn't hear it soon enough to get out of the way, By the grace of god I avoided an accident, but my new Cobra ESD 7000 Radar Detector, never beeped even once during the whole incident. It was at this point I got a ltitle hestitant of it's ablities. Nonetheless I did not give up hope. I was driving home from a few hours away on a state route, and I was coming down a large hill. I was accelrating as you often would going down a hill naturally, and didn't realize I was actually speeding. Lord and behold, a police office turns around and pulls me over. al the while my new, Cobra ESD 7000 Radar Detector, never beeped. not once. I now I have to pay a ticket which is much more than the price of this p.o.c and I am going to end up with a total of 4 points on my license. I WOULD NEVER SUGGEST THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE!! IT DOES NOT WORK!!

Outstanding Radar/Laser Detector.......2007-03-27

How can you fault a product that lives up to its claims? I am very happy with the quality, ease of use, and effectiveness of this detector. I have had many and this one beats them all. Oh...by the way...how about the price???? Nice...Very Nice Price. Highly Recommended. Happy Worry Free Driving.
