    Best radar ever

    This radar has saved me more times than I can count, I commute to work every day 85 miles. This device gives me a peace of mind. If you like to drive fast or just tried of getting pulled over I’d definitely recommend it and it also has an app where you can customize this device so much which is also really sick. I’d say worth every penny. I was debating between this one and the r7 but I’m so glad I picked this one. Also it’s very sleek and not as bulky as the r7

    Best around!

    I’m a medical courier and drive an average of 500 miles a day. I’ve used just about every radar out there and the R8W is the best one on the market right now. It’s become a necessary addition to each car, I have 3 R8’s and still use my R7 in my truck. The detection range on these things is incredible. There has been times I thought I was getting false alerts, until I find the cop (no joke) up to 10 miles down the road sometimes.

    Best Radar Detector!

    I have had my Uniden R8w going for a few weeks now and I love it. If you use Vortex settings (google search Vortex settings) it will keep all the false alerts at bay. This detector saves me from tickets every week an the others around me that slow down when I do. The R8 companion app is also awesome with it.

    My Experience

    Bought it a little less then a month ago, it works amazingly and catches things from a crazy distance. The app it can be paired with is also great.
