Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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.

I think this is an amazing radar for what is worth, it has a lot more useful features than most of the other radar

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.

I just this item since last month it works amazing I highly recommend getting it.

Nice quality very good device easy to install and setup recommend

Excellent Unit! Has already saved more than I paid for it! Very pleased with the purchase and highly recommend!

When you have this you don’t need to worry about being pull over or smth like that but you need to be focus some doesn’t turn on their radar anyway definitely worth it for sure

I had an Escort Redline for a long time until it was stolen a couple of years ago. I loved the fact that it never false alerted. I decided to save a little money and replace it with the Max 360. This was a terrible mistake. It false alerted so much, I quit using it. I started reviewing a replacement and it came down to this and the Redline. I just liked the display better on the Uniden and if it didn't perform I could return it. After screening out the frequencies that are not used this detector has worked flawlessly. I've been using it for a month and 0 false alerts. Great range at detecting Ka band.

I was a little skeptic at first with all of the options, but once you set it up with the app and set it for your type of driving you mainly do the detector is crazy good! Definitely would buy again.

Super impressed with the R8W. Setup was quick, the menus are intuitive, and the real‑time alerts are spot‑on. I love the automatic GPS lockouts and how quiet it stays in the city. The display is bright and easy to read, and the directional arrows are a game changer. If you want a detector that just works without constant tweaking, this is the one.

Save me from tickets in Louisiana and Texas! Very long range even with Radar being turned on and off .

Accurate and very good sleek design. Saved me couple of times.

This is a great radar detector. It's definitely worth the extra money and super easy to configure/tune using the R/TAC app.

This radar is a beast! Absolutely perfect. Expensive, but worth every penny

W item. Saved me on the way home from buying it. W

I’ve used before and have put them in all my cars.

The product works excellent and there are many video's online that help navigate on how to use and change the settings. Great product!

Great radar. Gets really good range on highway and on locals. I think it saved me like 90 times already. Def recommend def worth it.
