Customer Ratings & Reviews

After going through many forums and YouTube videos of different radars, it all boiled down to pretty much one radar that shone above the rest. Uniden has risen to outperform what’s been the standard go to radars such as the Valentine One or the Passports and all for a very reasonable price. The range on this thing is a truly insane and I can tell it’ll put ease of mind while driving on highways. Unless you need directional arrows like the R7 has, this is the way to go.

Im not a speeder... or a racecar driver but I will hint that this has saved me a few times! Its range and customizability is amazing especially for the price! This is perfect for the speed racers and the regular drivers that just want a little reminder when there is a police in the area or using a radar gun. Sometimes it can be easy to accidently go a little to fast when on long road trips so when this goes off its a awesome reminder to slow down. So many options and I love that i can switch to just KA Band and not get every alert while driving it has been 100% accurate for me living in california.

I bought the Uniden R3 because I have a slightly aggressive relationship with the gas pedal. I’m not saying I speed, but my car thinks it’s in Fast & Furious every time I hit the highway. Enter the R3 — my new co-pilot, therapist, and speed whisperer. This thing picks up radar signals like it’s psychic. I get warnings well before I even see the cop hiding in the bushes pretending to check emails. The Ka band range is unreal — I’ve had alerts so early I had time to slow down, turn down the music, and contemplate life choices before passing a speed trap. False alerts? Barely any. It’s like it knows the difference between a speed gun and a Walgreens automatic door. The GPS lockouts are a blessing too — it remembered all the spots where my neighbor’s microwave sets off random signals. Setup was easy. Stuck it to my windshield and boom — instant speed guardian. The voice is polite, calm, and doesn’t yell at me like my mom used to when I was learning to drive. TL;DR: If you’re a “spirited driver” like me, this radar detector is basically your legal guardian angel. 10/10, would brake again.

Amazing radar picks cops up from 2 miles or more ahead of you haven’t had a issue and had it for some months now

Has saved me many tickets. If you have a heavy foot or do a lot of road trips, it’s a necessity. Will end up saving you more money than you spend.

A whole lot of research went into this purchase. It is the best value. Hardwire can be difficult in GM vehicles if using the mirror tap for to inconsistent voltage. I hardwired mine to battery without issue. Picks up miles away from signal. Watch out for false signal from Auto doors and stop lights

I recently purchased the Uniden R3, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Right out of the box, the build quality feels solid and professional. Setup was simple, and the intuitive interface made it easy to customize to my preferences. What really stands out is the incredible range and accuracy. The R3 gives me plenty of advanced warning, especially on highways, and it filters out false alerts better than any detector I’ve used before. The GPS lockouts are a game changer—I can drive through areas with frequent false signals (like automatic doors) without being bombarded by alerts. The voice alerts and OLED display are crisp and easy to understand, even in bright daylight. It also stays firmly mounted and discreet, which is a nice bonus for keeping a clean windshield setup. Overall, the Uniden R3 gives me a huge sense of confidence while driving. It’s easily one of the best investments I’ve made for my car. Highly recommended for anyone who wants top-tier protection without the premium price tag of other models.

I've been very happy with this radar detector. It works accurately about 99% of the time and has helped me stay aware of speed traps and enforcement areas. One of my favorite features is the ability to customize the sound alerts and sensitivity settings, with separate profiles for city and highway driving. This makes it much quieter in town while still providing excellent protection on the highway. The built-in red-light camera and speed camera warnings are also very useful and have proven to be accurate and reliable. Overall, it's easy to use, highly customizable, and offers excellent performance for the price. I would definitely recommend it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you're in the market for a reliable laser radar detector that won't break the bank, look no further! I recently got my hands on one and let me tell you, it's been a game changer. Not only does it come at a great price, but it performs flawlessly and has saved me from getting a speeding ticket a few times already. One thing I really appreciate about this detector is the minimal interference with other signals. It doesn't pick up false alerts, which can be a common annoyance with other models. When it beeps, you can be confident that there's a legitimate radar signal present. Overall, I highly recommend this laser radar detector for anyone wanting to stay within the speed limit while on the road. It's easy to use, reliable, and won't break the bank. Get one for yourself and see the difference it can make!

Best $317 I’ve spent has gotten me away from a lot of speeding tickets and tickets in general. I also track your speed for you for those who have inaccurate speedometers. I like the customization options. This is very accurate. Let you know about speeding camera. It’s real like cameras, police of course. But this is a radar, not a police detector so it won’t go off every cop car. It will go off if the cop has their radar on or anything that it detects so I’ll be aware of that but still I enjoy it and will probably recommend to anybody who like likes to drive very fast.

This radar detector works perfect! Insane range picks up the local cops KA band from well beyond sight. Filtering options, built-in GPS, and traffic camera features put it a top pick for the price. Forget the competitors max360, for $150 less this is a much better buy!

I haven’t had a radar detector in a long time. Since 1997 or so. Seemed mostly like false alarms back then. But I recently came across a review of some on YouTube. Vortex radar I believe. This was up there for quality and being a decent price. Although I still find these to be rather expensive for what they do and don’t do very well. But I do like that it has lots of filtering and options. I’ve had it a few weeks now and do like that it displays the speed, has gps, can mute memory marked locations that cause the detector to go off, blind spot monitoring filters, and so on. I also set it so that if I drive above 75, it tells me I’m above my desired limit. I don’t drive fast to begin with, but it can only take a few seconds to get there. In a couple locations on a certain band the range has been pretty good. Also similar locations that went off as false alarms over 20 years ago, still do. Even with filtering. I got this on sale and had a birthday discount that I used, and it ended up being not too bad of a price. Wish I could try them all and see which one I like, but hey, I’m not rich so I can’t. I’m not sure if I will be returning this yet.

Nice radar detector. It is definitely an older model compared to other brands like Valentine. Lacks directional and sometime I do wonder where the signal is coming from. But you save more than $200 compare to other brands. It is very sensitive and works wells in highways. In the city, there is a lot of false alarm, but it can be customized to reduce the noise. Overall, it is a great device if you are on a "budget"

I did my research before choosing the R3. After a month with it, I couldn't be happier. The range is incredible, the display is great with compass and speed, and can be set to auto dim brightness at a time you select. In city mode I get almost zero false alerts. Choose this or the R1 for an even better deal (no gps on R1)

Bells and whistles and bands and lasers make no sense to me. I want to know which areas I drive through require just a bit more caution and I want to know which areas are a false alarm. With this Uniden R3 not only do I get the comfort of knowing its a brand I trust, I get the ease of a one-button "set it and forget it" system. When passing through areas with automatic doors and such that trigger the false alarms it is literally with the press of a button that I never have to check again for police, ambulances, or other systems that trigger the radar detector. With those, I also get an amazingly long range of radar detection knowing when there is an accident or speed trap and whether to avoid the area or resume cautiously. Being in the middle of the road on price was definitely a big part of my decision in purchasing this, I didn't want too cheap to where I wouldn't trust it but not too expensive to where satellites would set it off. I feel confident in this radar detector and I would recommend this model to anyone that wants that extra level of precaution while on the road.

Uniden - R3BLK DSP Long Range Radar and Laser Detector Model: R3BLK SKU: 6188301 was purchased 3 months ago and already paying divedends. Was able to see the motorcycle cop and his dirty radar gun, not sure how it works with laser but for radar and speed traps it works well. Thank you Uniden, it helps to have a rabbit or a faster car in front of you so when those cops point it at them your alarm goes off and you don't get pulled over. Last speeding ticket cost me 700 dollars.

Super excited with fast shipping before the holidays radar is working good and great for long range

Works great.... gives you plenty of time to slow down.. will pick a state trooper around a blind curve down in a hole... this thing is amazing..

This is hands down one of the best radar detectors on the market that I have purchased. I have owned a few from inexpensive to more expensive than this unit and I fully recommend this one. Has saved me several times from being pulled over. I am a general contractor and drive over 1500 miles a week so for me it’s a life and time saver

I traveled a lot from state to state and this has been the best radar detector I've ever used. I've picked up radars several minutes ahead of me (or from behind). Easy to use and the GPS is fantastic. For city driving, definitely put it on CITY mode and it will filter out a lot of false readings.
