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.

    Wanted a new radar detector after having Valentine one for over 15 years. Reviews have been mixed but wow... drove it 1600 miles on a road trip over 3 days and the dang thing chirped at everything.... even on the highway through Kansas with nothing around. So irritating, turned it off towards the end of the trip. Returned it promptly.

    I've owed this radar for 4 months now and tried to fall in love it but can't. Simply because its not as good as the old escort i sold to buy this. don't believe all this paid reviews you read online for this radar. range is is not only not great its not good at all. Sometimes ill get a KA warning when the cruiser is about 200 ft away, which is not enough time to slow down luckily i wasn't speeding

    After 1 year and 2 months the cable broke off. the power cable is not very sturdy so with the sun and movement the wires are now showing at the connection end of the radar detector. I do not use it on a daily basis only the weekends or on road trips.

    I've had previous models of this radar detector, but what I hated most about this one, is every time you turn the car off and turn it back on, you have to listen to the voice prompt go through all the bands every single time. That is really really irritating, and I couldn't take it so I took it back.

    Extremely poor customer service by Uniden representative on phone. Told me I didn’t buy directly from Uniden, that I bought from retailer who bought from distributor, that my problem is between distributor and retailer and not Uniden. I immediately returned the two units I bought. Will not buy any Uniden Products again. Should be zero star rating.

    Very expensive toy. I am annoyed by all the false readings. I also don't like not being able to mount to dash. My dash gets too hot so valcro adhesive melts. Very hard to figure out all the features. 0

    Didn't detect

    Im not a pro with radar detectors, but I was driving a lot up to Santa Barbara from LA and decided to get a radar detector. No real reason why I picked this brand but on the 1st trip up to SB using this radar it didnt detect a CHP who was pulled over to the side (not hiding) and using his radar gun pointing it to oncoming traffic. Fortunately I WAS NOT speeding so I didn't have any issues, but once I saw the CHP officer engaging his radar gun towards me / traffic, my detector DID NOT go off. I have no clue if the CHP radar was laser, radar, kband, etc.....NO CLUE but his radar was pointed in my direction and nothing happened. I returned this item back to BB to get a full refund. Haven't figured out which detector to pick up as of today 4.17.20

    This detector is awesome. I do a combination of city and highway driving daily and it works great. The mute memory feature is a great feature
