Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the R3 DSP Long Range Radar and Laser Detector, particularly its impressive range, performance comparable to the R7, and comprehensive radar detection capabilities. Many find it accurate and easy to use, especially considering the price. While false alarms are a concern for some, the device's GPS functionality and other features are appreciated, and the display is easy to read. The size is also seen as an improvement over the R7.

    OK, obviously I wouldn't purchase this unless there's a reason. I'm not exactly the most adherent to speed limits, and I don't really want tickets. My old radar detector was going on 20 years old, so it was time for an upgrade. This thing is great; has excellent range and a display that I love.

    Ticket saver for sure. Bought this for a cross country road trip. Gave me a heads up miles out on some pretty sneaky troopers. Spots them from the rear, up ahead or coming from opposite direction. Has laser function; that has only gone off once and fortunately I was well under the limit. You wont regret this purchase.

    Easily paid for itself as I tend to speed a little. Has detected police using radar up to 3 miles away on flat highways! Very good for the price. Highly highly recommend!

    I like it for it's accurate warnings and it's ease of mounting however the speed numbers (GPS reading) is difficult to see when wearing sunglasses.

    Performed excellent during our recent road trip through five states. This device will give you a warning ahead of time so you can correct your speed during driving. We'll see how it holds up in the future but it's off to a excellent start in my opinion.

    Definitely worth the purchase. Picks up what you need to detect miles away! I like the traffic camera warnings and the extra mounting suction hardware

    Beats my Escort Redline

    Once you get this thing set up it's way better than the Escort RedLine or any other radar detector that I've had. Favorite thing is being able to mark locations for false alarms. I compared it side-by-side for a week against my Redline with all the segments set. The R3 always alarmed first so is the clear winner. I sold the redline and the R3 has been on my window for since.

    I decided to go the cheap route and bought a radar detector that only made noise when the cop was in my rear view mirror, this mistake cost me my license for 6 months and i lost my job. This uniden is amazing! Any time this thing picked up ka rader sure enough there was a sneaky cop miles down the road usually writing some poor fool a ticket. I am not a reckless speeder but i cannot for the life of me do 55mph on a open road highway on a sunny day. Theses cops are out here for one reason only and thats to collect money for the state please dont think going 70 in a 55 is unsafe. I dont care if im going to the corner store i keep this on my windshield. Its a real deal what you pay for this compared to lawyer fees and other things that goes along with lost of license.

    Works extremely well, and very very accurate. Many features build into it, including the color of screen and all types of changes with how it picks up the bands. Definitely worth the money.

    Great unit. One of the best on the market but definitely not the highest price. I did my research before I bought this. I really love the GPS so you can have it ignore false signals in areas that set it off frequently such as those slow down signs that show your current speed.
