Bottom line do the speed limit and save yourself a lot of money.

Okay, let's do the math. Out of 29 reviews, there are 2 2-star and 3 1-star reviews. That's 6.9% and 10.34% respectively. Total of 17.24%, meaning that 82.76% of buyers give it a 5 star review. One of the 2-star reviews loved the unit, but had warranty issues. Two of the one star reviews were complaining about laser. Laser detection is useless without a jammer, so we can eliminate those too. That brings the numbers to 3 applicable <5 star review and 24 applicable 5 star reviews. That means 88.4% of reviews are 5 star, and 11.5% are not. Extrapolate that over units sold, and the numbers would suggest that most meople love their unit. You don't get to cherry pick data and say "only the bad reviews are legit". That's not how numbers work.
