Well, you get what you pay for. With a radar detector that cheap, I am surpried that it gave you ANY kind of warning.
If you are in the market for another radar detector (one that works) check out this site, it will give all the performance tests for all the major radar detectors (and some that have some VERY ridiculous claims).

I wouldn't write off the entire concept of a radar detector based on one incident. Do your research before spending your cash.
