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.

    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

    Great Detector With Not-So-Great BSM Filtering

    This is a great radar detector for the money. If I'm on a highway and a long straight, I've detected an officer's radar gun 2 miles away. The GPS memory is useful but it does pickup blind-spot monitoring on vehicles and doesn't filter them out too well. Also, it's fragile. It fell off the windshield and that little fall now gives the screen a green line down one side. That's all it took. Otherwise, it's great.

    very simple to use. GPS feature is helpful since it removes common alerts near my daily route such as store alarms and door sensors. I like that its really easy to unclip and put aside in the glove box in case I'm next to a cop.

    This radar will start alerting you much farther away than others. Almost makes you wonder where the alerts are coming from. If you need the directional arrows, the R7 is the upgraded version of this one, but is too large in my opinion. The size of this one is just right, and updates are free as well!

    Uniden - RS1 internal speaker failed after 1 year

    Internal speaker failed this week, 1 year and 4 months after purchase. Online contributor's suggest it is probably the wire going to the speaker pinched in the Case. No issues though, I plugged a rechargeable speaker into the audio port. Kind of disappointing it failed so soon. The product is still cheap at $249. I gave it four stars because it works fantastic but am disappointed with the speaker issue, but at least I go a work around.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Easy to set up. it does not really work. Missed alot of cops nearby and it is big and bulky to be putting on your dash. Easy way to get a ticket.

    Love it!! I had bought this before for an old flame, we used it all the time, when we split, i bought my own and didn't realize it was the same exact one. I really like it, it works great and has already helped me so much.

    Very happy with the purchase. Long range detection and a mute button on the charger for convenience, great design and setting options but especially like the setting for radar types so you can tell the difference between different types of signals.
