Worst Radar Detector I’ve Tested: Batman RD Review

- This V7 Batman radar detector is amazingly... awful. This is my full video review.
My V7 Amazon Review Links: Amazon is now deleting all of my reviews so they're all gone now. The fake reviews are still there though. Sigh... Amazon is great overall, but buyer beware when it comes to the accuracy of their reviews.

ok...i got sucked in and bought one for $14 usd. but on the bright side, because it is so easily detected by RDDs and it has a great on/off button electrical socket, it can be used to trigger a RDD so that the operator thinks their RDD unit is broken. just start cycling the V7 on and off near a RDD and watch the cop go nuts swiveling their head looking for the offending radar detector. makes my $14 investment worth every penny.
I love how youtube is putting an shop ad on the bottom of the video to buy it haha.
I bought this on wish for shits and giggles. But my fun quickly turned to frustration after one use. Worst 12 dollars I have ever spent.
FYI...My wife places orders from Amazon for her business almost everyday. I spend several thousand dollars on Amazon every year myself. The ONE TIME that I called out Amazon on their FAKE reviews I was permanently banned for life. Repeat, for life from ever placing a review on Amazon ever again. No warning, no temporary ban. Nope, I went from a great customer to death sentence. You went way above and beyond what I did. Any repercussions for pointing out their fake reviews???
So, I am still an Amazon customer but even after calling them, asking them what did I do wrong and pleading my case. I am BANNED FOR LIFE from ever putting a review on Amazon ever again. Whatever..............
Wow... Yeah I used to leave lots of detailed reviews on Amazon. I’ve had all my reviews deleted and have been banned from ever leaving reviews or even comments on other people’s reviews ever again. Appeals got me nowhere...
Bro OMG i ordered this on Amazon cause its prime day and on the list. Watched this and thank GOD i was able to cancel.. Thank You
P.s. they had it marked as $100 with prime day sale of $36 .. pricks.. thanks again
If there is one thing I got out of this video, it's not to trust the Amazon reviews. Clearly Amazon needs to get a handle on the review/feedback section of the website.
And thanks for taking time to put this PSA out.
It's not a radar detector, it's a box of torture. No mute button. Constant falses. No laser detection. Leaky as hell. No immunity. Crappy mount. Lol, I have never seen a radar detector this bad.
Lol I was always taught you get what you pay for.
Interesting fact. I purchased one of these on wish for like $8 shipped a while back. The range was shit with the lottle sticky pad. I then rigged up an old gps mount to mount the detector higher. It almost tripped the range! It still falsed all the time but it went from completly useless to almost completly useless. I found it interesting that you mentioned the lack of a mute button. I personally added a switch to the speaker lead so I was able tl mute it. I really really wanted to make this detector work, but in the end I bought a better detector and gave this one to my father. Its really shitty even with work done to it.
You must really hate your father 😀
LoL, amazing. Maybe it’s detecting future radar before it happens. Smh
maynardo it's actually detecting the chirp that even the new V1 is trying to now detect. It has precognition, so it knows there's radar even before radar knows there's radar. Ever watch Spider-Man? It's like that, " bordering on precognition." It knows the Leo is going to pull the trigger on an IO shot even before the LEO knows. It's just that good ! Oh, and it knew you were going to write that comment, even before you knew you were going to write it. It even knew @vortex was going to test it, so it shit down before he could get data. Plus, it worked because Vortex never got a ticket while using it.
lmao precog speeding crime.
Just bought one. Should have seen this video before buying it. The detector give false alerts, and to be honest, the voice of my detector is so terrible that you can understand it at all.
This thing is going to reach cult status and sell well with all of this exposure, lol!
The GPS hook up on the side of it
Isn't it too early for April Fools?
The only use it may have is when you get pulled over in Virginia, just give the trooper that R.D.
yeah but the R3 dosn't have a batman logo on it!
great public service review vortex, keep up the good work !
So whats the point of the USB port on the opposite side of the power port
Buy these and hide them in police cars. There i found a use for it lol
That was mandarin hahaha. Great video as always.
Thank you! :D
It seems to state a riddle before every band announcement... Does not seem possible to make a worse device. I can not imagine the development conversation going on while they worked on the circuit design (no physical product design, as they just ripped off Cobra's molds.)
Nice Review ! TXCTG got a kick of testing this POS in Waco, a while back.
I miss Waco....
LMAO That Batman Logo Though.
I can't really understand what it's saying before it says K band. It sounds like it's saying something about a detector signalling friend. I expect the speech prompts were written by someone who's first language wasn't English.
I been trying to understand it myself lol...awhile back these were cute sounding announcing "Attention please, KAY band detected" It still the same voice but yea cant understand it.
Part of the initial message is "Fasten your safety belts".
Why does that detector even exist??So change title to detectors not too buy so next time business won't even bother making more crap because you'll call them out. I would just bribe you to give it a good review lol
I got scammed into buying one of these. When I looked up how to set it up, I found this video and immediately regretted it. Luckily, I got a full refund and bought a Uniden R1.
Congrats!
So I am not clear on your conclusion? You are saying the V7 is OK, a good buy? (for a door stop)
Or paper weight for small pieces of paper.
Forget to take your meds?
This is funniest thing I have ever watched. Thanks for the laughs and sorry you had to waste your time reviewing it. 😂😂
It only works with highway mode not city in highway mode it could pickup laser and radar
lmao @ his face of disgust after powering it on... Lawsuit soon in the making. Vortex had to threaten me to get away from rocky mountain now i can't get away from the escort x80. I think I fall in love with radar detectors too quickly. But I always thought this. USE WAZE WITH ANY DETECTOR AND YOU WILL BE FINE.
Thank you. Just used it over a thousand kilometers. Biggest piece of $h&t on the planet. You are always SPOT ON.
Anyone that think they can buy a radar detector for $25 that’s actually going to work then they deserve what they get.😂😂😂
I got same one if u use side plug 🔌in a GPS mine don't do that it can pick up speed camera u can trune it down its Russian I think these hit miss when buy theme like might get lucky get one really work
Burn it....burn it b4 it lay eggs!!!
Those weren't false alerts the device was pinging the city cctv cams and other radar/laser similar frequencies. Those cheap radar device don't filter out the other frequencies 🤓
i would actually spike that thing out my window, even with my old whistler pro 73 at least the voice is in proper english.. and doesn't false at nothing.
This is good to have if you are in a radar banned area get pulled over you can hand them ones of these.
DavesGenny 😂😂😂😂 this actually smart af
I seen many videos about this kind of radar… I’m thinking that android plug suppose to connect to something?. Android plug has to be their for a reason.
Complete garbage. Doesn't stop beeping. Desided to open it up. Has 2 small boards the size of silver dollars, and nothing else. No horn, or anything.
I cant belueve i bought that bullshit..
My dad just bought it... I feel really bad for him, because he is bad a tech. I wish i could help him.
I have one of these, and a Whistler. I live in a fairly rural area, so theres not much falsing. But around town it does go off more. But so does the Whistler, and at the same areas. I cant tell any real difference between the two.
thanks for the review. this radar is all over the internet for cheap. i have an old whistler radar detector from back in 2000 that has voice and text and my whistler radar detector seems to work better than this one.
Great Video!! Its ironic you point out "fake" reviews, on my UA-cam reviews of the "cheap ebay detectors" I get comments how the writer bought one and theirs performs well and doesent false. I wonder if they are retailers selling these units.
Hah Yeah that thing is quite wide, there's a bare mixer fed with a swept LO. There's literally no filtering, so that it can do X, K and Ku bands on the same front-end.
I have measured it radiating on Ka-band quite detectably. Fun toys for RF experiments.
The K-Band falsing might be it reacting to anti-collision radar on higher end cars. As the first gen stuff for that was on the same 24.000GHz - 24.250GHz band as some police radars.
Ah cool. Have you done any videos measuring it in the lab?
@@VortexRadar No videos and couldn't find my pictures off it. I'll take a look at making a quick non-scientific video about the leakage in the future.
@@VortexRadar Shot a quick video: ua-cam.com/video/plaqhzQZuIk/v-deo.html
What the hell is it saying on detection lol
That is super interesting to see. I bought one of these cheap detectors from Ebay and the other shell is the same however my ones internals look quite different..? Maybe they have slightly improved it
My uncle gave me one it never goes off until I’m under a stop light
The one my friend bought says location ka band
That thing talks more than my mother-in-law ,😂
I hate radar detectors with voice. Beeps and LEDs for me.
"there's be detecting singnaling friend k band" - batman
The amazon reviews are all I need to know
Great review on pieces of Junk. Now you need to take them out to the shooting range and let them be targets.
Made the mistake of purchasing without first doing my research... I see your review on there and have marked it helpful, however I've noticed that my unit must be slightly different. It really hasn't false alerted much (nowhere near the amount shown in the vid) and it says something different (but still very similar) when you turn it on. Cosmetically it looks the same only red? Not impressed with it by any means, but so far appears to be maybe a hair above garbage lol. At least whatever unit I have .....
as for the laser detection fraud.... well that's just adding insult to injury. Thanks for the honest review!
Yeah it doesn't false in every area. I do find there's sometimes when it's quiet as well, but it's definitely light years different than other detectors.
The box is what's FCC approved.
ok all reviews have been labeled as helpful so hopefully you get what is nedded
Kinda like the toy dollar store phones...
Great videos! Wish I could watch them all! I'm looking to spend $300-$500 on a radar! What would be your #1 recommendation? I want something that is simple to set up and will prevent me from getting speeding tickets l, mainly on the highway. Based on your videos I was thinking escort 360? Please help!

Speaking of x band. I actually got hit with X band instant on yesterday. I was picking him up clocking cars ahead about 2 miles before I got to him. At first I thought this must be false alerts,but no,it was actually a county cop. I run my V1 with all bands on since x band around here is gone completely from store door openers. Glad I had it turned on, because I was moving on pretty good.
D town 313 Alabama,Bib county.
I got one my working great hasn't done anything your talking about because my finding police an state police also undercover police so my work great maybe I got wasn't fake but it dose work great for me
Testing it against police radar guns, while range is poor, it is able to detect them, you're right. I'm sure yours also lacks GPS, laser detection, FCC approval, and everything else I mentioned too though. :)
This is just fun to watch
Thanks for this review. You've made me not to buy it.
Best review EVER🤪😜
Just did some investigating of this device it is grossly missed advertised it is very great for what it does it is not a radar detector is just a slow down traveling to fast speed reminder all it is, is an ic chip with a recording on it telling you that their is police ahead ka band slow down on a timing circuit so it keeps giving you the same message over and over again with ka band detection the message can be set for multiple languages it is so falsely advertised you just have to open it up and have some knowledge of electronics circuitry to understand it
It is a radar detector too. It alerted to my K band and Ka band radar guns.
Huh must not have good internal shielding and definitely does not have laser just more cheap chinese counterfeit junk
Funniest video ever 😂
Funniest video I have seen in a long while, cheers for that :)
seems good if you a conversation
Batman wants his radar detector back.
Is a kid toys it says on the manual
Your video is funny. Sounds like this radar sucks. I just purchased it for around $7 from a site i won't name. I still have my original radar that talks and sends texts alerts but I wanted to try this one just to see how it works. Thanks for the video
Just got this today and after I saw your video, I requested a return right away.
Excellent
Nice review!!!
What is it saying in the K band alerts?
What is it saying when it alerts?
I so enjoyed your review. More so I enjoyed looking at those gorgeous leather seats in your car👌👌. I new when I purchased this thing from Temu (12 bucks)it ws Sketchy but it looked cute on the dash🤣🤣🤣🤣.
thank you so much 😘😘
He's right
Marked as helpful on Amazon
And I thought my 70 dollar cobra had bad filtering till once it detected ka band and the cop was like half a mile away on the free way
I think this is a fake radar detector ( A Toy ) I think it is just appearing to work, but I doubt there is ANY radar detection. It simply falsely simulates a radar detector.
Worthless... other than proving the old saying " You Get What You Pay For"
Had cheap radar detectors in the past that were poorly made they were setting probably themselves off as well? Did notice that the only time the Batman radar detector went off when the radar was pointed in the direction of its antenna, other than that it wouldn't sound an alert.
The Uniden DFR1 is probably better than this.
No shit, it’s a crap $10 detector compared to a good $50 detectir
Car mirrors in new cars use k band to detect proximity. That's why it probably falsing.
But wait I read that it detects cctv so like what if this isn't falsing but actually detecting cameras
lol
@@VortexRadar fr? Does it detect camera or what
Thanks I was going to get one just for shits and giggles I knew it couldn't be good for that price you just confirmed what I already knew. That voice is so obnoxious I'd have to throw it out the window while driving. Amazon needs to do some inspection of their feed back system. This just makes the point you can't even trust supposed reviews by buyers as it just a sham.
what is it saying
Hi there just found this video I have a v7 and you are right its crap mine won't come out of boot up mode
Funny all their reviews were on Oct 30 2017. I tried to review it but only "verified" purchasers can post. Go figure. Amazon sucks for honesty and they don't care. Go elsewhere.
Random police alert, that device falls into the same category of the energy-saving passive device made in china.
wait! isn't that the new Escort detector.???..... loooooooooollll....dont worry escort's detectors will soon bee performing like this one and charge $600 for it.
Ran over and clicked helpful. It is folks that build CRAP like this that just steals peoples hard earned money. A damn shame. Thanks V. -Marty
would be good if you provided links o amazon.com in your description. To look for the products, then look which one you commented on etc will take a huge load of time...
I was gifted a $25 Radio Shack Early Warning detector 10yrs ago. It worked decent on the highway. It advertised emergency vehicle and train alert!? It saved my butt many times!! My ex got away with it...
With this unit, I'd be afraid of the RF/Microwave emissions contained in the car as you drive, all that RF has to add up to the possibility of cancer someday....stay away from this trash. Thanks Mr. Vortex! Once again, you've done a great review. BTW, (a note for the very rural folks) I live in rural farm country Iowa, so using my ancient Cobra ESD9210 is perfect, all I care about is the occasional Ka alert. Out here in farm country, very few if any false alerts, so a basic unit is good. My old Cobra I bought nearly 20 yrs ago is still serving me well, saved many a ticket. If my Cobra shells out eventually, what "el-basic one would you recommend Mr. Vortex? Thanks in advance.
your review doesn't seem honest, because in the end of the video, you say about faults of this "detector", but you even don't mention, the false you pointed out earlier, that it doesn't have detector hardware at all.
It detects radar, not laser.
@@VortexRadar hope so, but anyway, when telling faults, you didn't mention that it can't detect laser ;)
I didn't mention that? Did you not watch the part at 7:02 where I shot the radar detector with a laser gun to demonstrate it not alerting to laser?
@@VortexRadar sorry, I just remembered, that I did see some other youtube video, of the guy opening this radar and spotting, that it doesn't have the radar hardware.
so my mistake!
fake the bad radar
Buy a few and hardwire them in the state trooper cruisers in Virginia. Cops will be giving each other tickets
en francais ont fait comment
Great ive Just Parted with 70 Bucks AU for one of these from Russian China :(
YOUR. K. BAND IS WORKING FINE
Those are not false readings on K Band it's working fine it's doing its job just ignore K band And look out for KA
Still detects better that RMR and the truth in advertising is right in par with Escort.....
