Never gives false alerts and works well in the city because it never goes off because of sliding doors and other detectors. All of my other detectors I have owned in the past go crazy when driving through the city.

As mentioned in previous reviews, the radar goes off quite frequently. This is due to the nature that places like starbucks and other places that use electronic doors use a form of radar called "X" band.
