Advantages: Detects most cameras Disadvantages: Not 100% accurate.
The road angel compact is one of the leading brands of speed camera detectors.
Plugged into a cigarette lighter, the unit sits in a cradle (attached to windscreen by suction pads).

The Road angel compact looks great. Sitting neatly in the cradle, the neon blue screen gives it style. On detection of a speed camera on the road the screen flashes red - and an audible beeping (volume adjustable) is heard. Even with the stereo on quite loud, I can hear the beeping.
You can purchase the Road Angel Compact from as little as £145. An additional product - the laser detector can also be purchased and is compatible with the device.
Your better safe than sorry - purchasing the Road angel compact is worthwhile. Be careful if you purchase the laser detector however - I think they are going to be made illegal.
Do not rely on the device completely however. It is not 100% accurate, and there is a chance that a new camera may have been introduced.
Advantages: Small looks good Disadvantages: Unreliable
Ive had this unit for over a year and it worked flawlessly in that time.But gradually it took longer and longer to find the satellite upto 25 mins in fact to display my speed.Paid £40 to have it repaired worked ok for a few weeks but is now taking longer and longer to display speed.As previous reviewer i can see now why so many of these units are for sale refurbished.Dont buy them they will only work for a short time then fail.Im trying to get my ...

Advantages: Nice clear screen, displays speed Disadvantages: Rarely worked correctly
I purchased the compact about 5 months ago and so far it has been repaired and replaced, all to no avail.
The unit worked fantastically for about a month then began to take longer and longer to initialse and to display the speed. The it stopped working alltogether.
After repairing it, postage was at my expense, it worked for 3 days then began to take a long time to initialse and also alternated between not displaying a speed, 0 or M, then the speed ... ...need it as a warning device.
The unit has been replaced and is still suffering the same problems.
I also purchased the optional laser detector, which only works after you have been shot with a laser device, again no use as an early warning.
I am now attempting to obtain a refund.
It promised so much and when working was really good. Now I know why there are so many reconditioned units for sale on the web ...

Advantages: its compact design Disadvantages: It doesnt work
A truly useless bit of kit, I was initially drawn to the roadangel by its compact design and it appeared quite easy to use, however in practice it is utterly hopeless, the mapping is out of date , very jerky when the car is moving slowly, It will take you on the most outlandish routes to the point where you are definitely better off with a map. I would estimate that it has cost me almost its value in wasted fuel in the last six months,
As for the alerts-yes they work and are quite accurate however the menu setting for single bleep does not work so you get about 20 seconds of very annoying bleeping every time you are near a camera, this has become so annoying that I have now turned the whole function off, the battery life also suffers very quickly, mine can just manage 40 minutes on a full charge,
Another disappointing feature is that ...
