Last updated: October 28, 2021


One unique feature on this radar detector is the directional arrows that show where police are stationed.

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

In terms of the essentials, the Max 360’s accuracy, range, and overall filtration abilities are exactly what you’d expect from a range-topping radar detector; it just works incredibly well.
- Digital Trends
And, like the Max2, it has built-in Bluetooth, so it can communicate with the Escort Live smartphone app (described above) without needing a cord.
- New York Times Wirecutter
After it’s acclimated to your local haunts, the Max 360 is quieter than most detectors thanks to Escort’s own patented superpower that uses GPS to silence known stationary sources like motion detectors.
- Car and Driver
We found the directional arrows to be generally accurate; passing a radar signal usually resulted in the rear arrow lighting up as the rear antenna spotted it

What reviewers didn't like

If there’s one drawback with regard to performance, it’s ironically the arrows.
- Digital Trends
But even if it’s as good as, or even better than, the Valentine One, the Max 360 still costs $650, compared to the Valentine’s $400 price tag.
- New York Times Wirecutter
We have just one chief complaint with the Max 360’s performance: The arrows are slow to react when the radar source changes positions relative to the detector.
- Car and Driver
But an inferior display, disappointing Ka-band performance, signal-processing hiccups and the incessant false alarms served to temper our enthusiasm.
