Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have this specific unit these in all 3 vehicles because it works great.

This unit does a great job of detecting Ka at long range and finding and marking false K band notifications. Mounts easily and isn't so large as to look conspicuous.

a great little device for people with lead feet :-)

Worth every penny. Great radar detector. It has very long rang capabilities and it does what is says.

This detector is the bomb, I mean that in the best way. I had the cobra 480i and it started driving me crazy with all the false alerts so I upgraded to this. It's like night and day, you can customize every thing on this puppy. As for false alerts with this model you just tap mark button and it recalls alert and stops it, COOL. I purchased a mirror mount and get power from my top console so no wires hanging, it's great. And firmware update was easy as pie.

Saved me multiple times, lots of K band but i just ignore them, watch out for KA.

I am very impressed with overall quality, easy to use and how accurate it is, overall it has great performance.

By far the best radar detector I’ve ever owned. I’ve had many the top of the line detectors throughout my life but this by far is the best complete package and has already saved me some from getting a ticket more than a few times. Great detection range, even around corners, hills, etc... it also is very good locking out false alerts caused by store security sensors, car sensors, and many others compared to other detectors. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the best top of line radar detector!!!

This detector is not like the others. The long-range feature works GREAT! I especially love the ability to tag locations where you get erroneous signals with the GPS features. Having the ability to update the detector is also a plus. One really cool feature worth mentioning is the mute function on the plug so you don't have to reach up to the detector to mute it when it is continually going off and it is only for that signal. Once it picks up a different signal it unmutes so you don't get busted. Lol.

No complaints in 2 months. Gives plenty of warning. My only complaint is the K band goes off a ton, but I’ve learned to ignore it.

This detector has been very accurate and the rage is fantastic. Very minimal false alerts, even with K band on.

I researched models for some time and came to find Best Buy to have plenty of stock and reliable reviews on the Uniden R3. Shipping was extremely fast, and the package includes multiple mounting options and accessories. I would recommend also purchasing a "BlendMount radar holder" (separate source for purchase) if you are looking for a clean, no exposed wire, look. Has helped me during my travels across multiple states identifying new speed limits and police enforcement.

I owned the Fuzzbuster... the first commercial radar detector. I have had the Vanetine which is powerful but has too many false alerts. I've been using Escorts for years and have been very happy with them but needed one for another car and decided to try Uniden. Adjusting and trusting the unit took me some time, now, I highly recommend the R3.

I’m super impressed with the range and the “false” signal feature. I truly believe this is the best detector for the money. Can’t beat a Uniden

It has paid for itself. Out of the box it's ready to go. I only turned the volume down a bit. It's been in my car gor over 4 months. Would like for it to give a direction instead of just detection though. I also never knew department stores have radar in front of them until I bought this. Range is monumental. I detect cops far before I even see them.

I own 2 ESCORT 9500i but when it comes to UNIDEN R3, there is no other radar detector as ACCURATE & QUITE. Also the PRICE is way CHEAPER than ESCORT!!!

Nice mid price detector, very sensitive, accurate, can detect from distance.

Great detector with really good range. I have the R8 which costs twice as much but has only about 10% more range in my opinion. The HPD memory feature is nice since everything seems to run K band these days. The auto off after an hour makes sure to never run the car battery as well. Highly recommended

This works perfectly and detects things way before I ever see them. It also has a feature to set up memory muting for specific spots where you know it’ll go off every day. If you do purchase this please consider looking at a blend mount set up. They work very well and it looks super great. Very satisfied with the purchase.

I've used this radar detector on an almost daily basis for over two years and never had any issues. It's very sensitive and has been a reliable and effective warning system that has saved me from potential tickets more than once. A great investment and much cheaper than a speeding ticket and increased auto insurance.
