Are radar detectors legal in Wisconsin and Michigan?

If so, what features should one be looking for?

Who offers the best value for the money?

TIA

Escort and Valentine 1 are two of the best brands on the market.

I have a Valentine 1 and found it to be a great radar detector. However, it has been sitting on a shelf for about 7 years now. Nothing can protect against instant on radar and I've slowed down. Keep it within 9 mph of the speed limit, and you really don't have to worry.

However, if you want a radar detector, the Valentine 1 is a good pick.

They are a waste of money for three reasons. 1) the driver believes he's protected so quite freely goes over the speed limit 2) as soon as they come out with a detector the change the technology to catch you 3) see number 1

Also they pulse you so the radar isn't on until you get nailed, so all the detector will do it make a nice sound informing you that you are about to get a ticket.

A CB radio is money better spent than a radar detector... especially if you're driving on the Interstates. And, a lot more entertaining.
