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.

    Not really worth the price. Only goes off when actively being scanned for - which is if no use when driving by and then they decide to turn it on.... Great for speed traps and that’s it.

    Great, but maybe too good. All of the lane detection on the new cars blows this thing up. I'm sure I could turn it off, but then what if that is the radar choice of the po po? I also don't drive fast enough to really need it.

    only reason i gave it 4 stars is only because the newest model the R7 has directional arrows telling you witch direction to pay attention to when it picks up radar and this one doesn't. other than that it is flawless.

    I initially purchased an Escort ix as an upgrade from the 9500ix. I returned it after a week and got the R3. I couldn't be happier with my choice. Too many great things to list here about the R3, but it is the best I've owned. It took me a little while to tinker with the best settings for my area, but since then it's been perfect. Outstanding range and nice filtering. You simply can't go wrong with this one.

    My husband loves it and hasn’t has any complaints. He especially likes the voice warnings and the detailed alerts for each type of system detected.

    honestly, i am unsure about this product yet. it lights up like a xmas tree when it recognizes the highway signs that read your speed, but that highway sign is not going to pull me over and issue a citation. i passed two state troopers and this thing never went off, perhaps because of the exact location of where the troopers were sitting??? as a stand alone unit i cannot recommend it because if the troopers had pulled me over i would have been super aggravated that this did not work well. however, in conjunction with using waze i think it does provide another layer of protection to know where the police are.

    Wish it had a straight cord not a coiled one it comes with. Don't like you have to spend another $50, on power cables
