Needed some advanced features without breaking the bank. This Uniden radar detector will does not disappoint. Used it while on a 630 miles road trip that include a very spirited i must say jaunt at the Tail of the Dragon and without out this hidden gem i would have been busted for over 70 in a 30. Great job Uniden.

So far, so good. It definitely has a lot of “false” alerts. The GPS would be a great feature to have, but definitely not worth an extra $100!! The unit itself is an acceptable size and the display is nice. I also purchased the rear view mirror mount for it.

This radar detector has outstanding performance (better than anything else out there besides the Uniden R3 which is an R1 with GPS), excellent false alert filtering, is undetectable by radar detector detectors, has a color OLED display that can be set to many different colors, and is receiving regular firmware updates and improvements from Uniden, making the detector even better and better over time. I consider this to be the best highway & backroad radar detector under $300. It will do a great job of giving you plenty of advanced warning while also filtering out those annoying radar based blind spot monitoring systems in many modern cars. (Hondas, Acuras, and GM vehicles will punch through the filters as they do with every other radar detector.) However, it offers one of the best filters around, plus the ability to control the sensitivity if you're getting too much performance, heh. If you do a lot of driving on not only the highway but also in the city, I would recommend you take a look at its big brother the R3. The R3 does everything the R1 can do, but it also adds a GPS chip which is extremely helpful. You can teach it what's a false alert (just double press the mute button) when you're near a speed sign or a drugstore's automatic door opener and it will learn and filter those false alerts for you in the future. It can automatically mute the detector at low speeds when you're stuck in traffic or sitting at a stop light. The R1 can't do that so you'll be busy hitting the mute button a lot in town. The R3 can also alert you to redlight camera and speedcameras as well, thanks to the GPS chip. However, if you don't need these extra features or you don't mind hitting the mute button when you're in urban areas, save the $100 and go for the R1. If you drive primarily on the highway, if you're often in rural areas where you don't care as much about stationary falses and you want to focus on performance, or you love spirited drive down backroads and again are looking for the highest level of protection to keep your driver's license safe, pick up an R1.

The product is manageable to carry,quickly connected and will save me money. It acts as a reminder every day about safe driving. Very appreciative.

Uniden R-1 Extreme Long-Range Laser/Radar Detector. Most powerful and effective radar detector I have ever owned. Stealth, high performance, and easy to deploy. Has alerted to both laser and radar with plenty of advance notice to check speed. There is nothing that I don't love about the Uniden R-1. Sticky mount dash mat keeps detector where it's placed on dash. (Extra $5 appx.) Also added four (4) silicone/rubber feet by Shepherd to elevate the unit slightly in order to not muffle the speaker which is located on the underside of the unit. Works great, keeps the R-1 in place. Buy it NOW, without regrets. Live it, love it, own it. The Road is Yours!
