Customers are saying

Customers find value in the R3 DSP Long Range Radar and Laser Detector, particularly praising its impressive range and overall performance, which is comparable to higher-end models. Users appreciate its radar detection capabilities, accuracy, ease of use, and the inclusion of GPS for camera updates. While some mention false alarms and suggest turning off K band, the detector's size is considered reasonable.

    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.

    This thing saved me while going the speed "limit", it catches the radar from miles away, and it has good modes that only keeps K-Band and LAZAR on. Overall worth it.

    Works great for Ka band in my city, avoids false alarms and has mute option button which is great. I like the original window mount, but comes with fancy mount too. Case is nice as well, I always keep mine secure when leaving the car.

    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.

    [Employee of bestbuy] 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.

    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.

    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!

    First one I've bought in a few years. Feels great not to get all the false positives around town. If I do, I can just mute it an never have to worry about it again.

    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.
