Customer Ratings & Reviews

Still extremely accurate after 3 years — worth every penny I purchased the Uniden R3BLK over three years ago and it’s still very accurate. The long-range detection is impressive and it consistently alerts well in advance, giving plenty of time to react. This detector has absolutely paid for itself over the years. The DSP filtering works great to reduce false alerts, and it’s been reliable in all types of driving. Build quality is solid and it continues to perform like new. If you’re on the fence because of the price, it’s 100% worth it. This is one of those purchases you don’t regret.

Great radar detector detect cops up 2 miles away. I’ve never had any issues with. It has many customizable features on it as the best budget raider detector out there.

It has one of the best ranges on the market. It has all the bells and whistles that you need with GPS and you mute the signals in your area that you want it to remember. I rarely ever get a false positive from other people’s car proximity sensors. Can’t recommend more. Has easily paid for itself. Blend mount and mirror tap for power sold separately but worth it.

This got good reviews for a reason. The features are good. It detects a good long way, and the GPS feature is really nice. It was a deal of the day on Best Buy and definitely was a great deal.

I was expecting this thing to be ok at what it does but I gotta say it does the job and it does it well. It saved me once and I already feel it’s paid for itself. The display is small but that’s good because it’s not in your face. It’s an overall wonderful item and if it saves you once, it’s paid for itself. That’s one less ticket on your license so you save money on insurance in the long run.

Amazing range, multiple settings to customize including display color, display options, bands, sensitivity, etc. Not too many false alarms once you manually program gps automutes along your normal routes.

I am truly amazed how well the Uniden R3 performs. Prior to this I had an Escort Passport which also worked all. However, this was cheaper by almost $150 and the range is far more effective. Theyre both excellent devices but as I said Im shocked how this slaps. I get alerts way quicker and farther then before. The options are vast like several different display color options. There several other options but most radar have them i just feel the color option is a must have in addition to the screen dimming. Its like have a stealth mode at your leisure. Im currently in the market for another vehicle and im certain im gonna have a additinal device in that vehicle as well. Possibly the R4 if they just the price, but if they dont i have no problem picking up another for $300. I also compared this to the $800 redline and for under half the price of that this R3 can hang and even in some areas like range can out perform. I also picked up the direct power cord so i can be wired directly to my fusebox. I honestly love my setup and for the price point cant beat it. I recommend the Uniden R3 and glad I listened to my Brother Horace when he recommended the Uniden brand.

The range on this detector is great! I often get more than enough warning and when paired with Waze, you’re golden! The gps is great for locking out falses and now that I’ve driven around for a bit it almost never falses.

Love Love Love! Best radar detector out. Very easy to use. Tons of customs to fit your exact needs! Extremely easy installation. Detects EVERYTHING! Even cop radar from behind your vehicle while driving. 10/10, 5 Stars, I recommend to family, friends, even strangers. A necessity to have in your vehicle at all times, especially if you want to be alerted of the locations of speed traps!!! Also comes with a durable, sleek, storage case.

It is really good radar detector. One recommendation - shut down X-band. Maybe K-band isn't usable too. Ka-band only you need. Sometimes detection reaches 2 miles before you will see the cops. Laser-band hasn't fals reactions, but if you see laser alerts you have to push the brake immediately.

I was debating on the r3 or r8. The r8 and 7 are they only ones with arrows to let you know where the signal is coming from. This is my first radar detector and so far im pretty impressed. It’s already saved me a few times from passing a cop a little fast. Will definitely buy a r8 for the arows in the future and this one will go in my other car its that good. The range is amazing honestly and gave me fair time to slow down or be on the lookout. Definitely pull the triger on this one ladies and gents or the r8, worth every penny!

I was satisfied with my purchase, the detector came with a mount for a windshield and one for the dash. There are a lot of false alarms but I haven't taken the time to mark them as false alarms(i think you can do that and it won't alert you). When i say false alarms i mean ANY automatic doors on a building and it will also pick up on parking sensors on newer cars(it goes insane around a tesla) I mostly travel rural areas so its no big deal for me. While I would recommend this detector to most people, if you drive in the city/town a lot you will have a LOT of false alarms.

I’m very pleased with how far it will pick up a trooper that’s parked or driving towards me! I wanna say it picked up one trooper 2 miles away because it was going off for a good minute and Im doing 72 and the trooper is doing probably 75 in a 70. It’s saved me at least 1 ticket so it’s paid for itself already!

For the price and performance it really is a good. I have it mounted in my front windshield below my dash cam and it is excellent. It doesn’t interfere with anything and it doesn’t obstruct any viewing angles because of its small form factor.

Fantastic! We used this driving from California to the Carolinas and back and this radar detector was awesome. It picked up just about every police car unless they were not using their guns. We also used waze just to be aware of all conditions. I estimate this unit saved us about 5 tickets... I did find the Velcro is fine but its adhesive could not take all the road vibrations... I supported the unit with my sunglass case wedged underneath. We Highly recommend this radar detector.

I had this uniden r3 for about a month it it works been saving me from a lot of tickets. I also like how interactive it is you can change the color and settings how you want depending on your driving. Great product so far

I love this radar, it works amazing. Best radar I have ever used and very easy to use. There is mute memory on it so if you consistently mute it from going off at certain places it will remember. It also looks good in the car. I’ve had it for a year now and I have never had any problems with using it. You can easily adjust the volume and it’s one of my favorite purchases. Definitely recommend if you’re looking into radars and worth the price rather than cheaping out on other options.

So far so good. This can detect from quite a ways away. I've used it in the city and on the highway. I'm impressed so far. I need to read up on more stuff to change a setting back to mph and not distance. I'll update when I've had it for longer

Great overall radar detector for the price that its listed at, highly recommend it for people that want a entry level radar detector
