If you have your eye on a new Escort radar detector but are still determining which one is best for you, this video will point you in the right direction. Automoblog editor Carl Anthony goes through Escort's MAX family of radar detectors, explaining the key differences between each model, including the newly-released MKII series detectors.

Here are some quick summary points:

✅ The MAX 3 is the most affordable in Escort's MAX family.

☑️ The MAX 360 and MAX 360c are older but still perform well.

🌐 The MAX 360c offers Wi-Fi capability for wireless firmware updates.

📶 The MKII models expand on the features of the original MAX 360 and 360c.

📹 The MAXcam 360c combines a radar detector with a dash camera.

🚨 The Redline 360c offers the longest-range detection.

🚓Update 5-1-2024: The Escort MAX 4 has replaced the MAX 3 as the entry-level radar detector in the MAX family. Read more about it here: https://www.automoblog.com/escort-max...

Two key things to consider when buying an Escort radar detector:

Budget & Price: Escort units will usually land on the higher side of the price spectrum compared to radar detectors from other manufacturers. If you are looking at an Escort radar detector, allow some extra room in your monthly budget.

Tech Features: Determine what features you deem most important (for us, it's false alert filtering) and purchase accordingly.

What we would pick in this video: Either the MAX 3 for its price point or the MAX 360 MKII for its false alert filtering. Both the MAX 3 and MAX 360 MKII offer strong performance for the dollar.
