Customer Ratings & Reviews

I don't usually rate things but I will on this item. This is a really good detector, I got it after I started traveling again for work again. It has good range, is easy to use and program once you learn the settings. It has given me plenty of warning prior to encountering any police vehicles. Only two drawbacks, one is that the suction mount will not work on a dash, it holds for a few days then releases. The second is that it does not technically have a 360 detection range with an rear indicator.

Works well and indicates cops with a radar from prett far away and over hills. First I bought and its really good. It does get annoying when it detects store motion sensors for the automatic opening doors but even then, it's still great.

Best budget radar detector hands down, having one is Mando!

Great radar for a price cheaper than the r7 or r8. Definitely a little expensive but it works perfect for all red light cameras and everything else!

I bought this for a long distance trip and it worked flawlessly. It even has known "speed trap" locations updated seemingly daily. Downfall, if there is a dollar general store anywhere close to you, it will go off and will stay engaged until store is passed.

Works exactly as we needed it to, gives a large distance detection perfect for road tripping, commuting, or having fun on a Friday night. Easy to set up, and the mute memory is convenient for daily use!

Replaced an older escort.I couldn’t deal with the false alerts from blind spot monitors on the newer cars. The R3 filters out 99% of the crap while still providing great protection from real radar threats. If you need front and rear arrows get the R7 but for the money you cant beat the R3!

I wanted something that wouldn’t break the bank and the uniden r3 delivered. I don’t get a lot of false alerts and the range is good. I usually get a few miles notice so that I have plenty of time to adjust speed

I was able to take this on a couple of trips. It definitely picked up a few cops before from quite a distance. This seems to be well worth it so far.

I was going to buy Escort 360 because it’s having a 360 detection but after doing some research all radar Detectors have 360 front and rear Detection only it’s a marketing ploy for a escort 360 or another version of the escort they just have a rear antenna for arrows to tell you if the cop is in front of you or behind you my advice is do your home work this Uniden r3 have great range vs Uniden r7 for 200 hundred dollars more I didn’t see justifying difference in price I just bought a brand new pickup truck I think good I have in my truck I don’t drive really fast but I like to drive about 70 miles mph even on the country highway that’s posted less speed limits

I ran the 2 side by side for a week. I spent a few days making the R3 behave like the Redline, then compared the performance. The Redline will win if I turned it up but it's only useful in the Midwest with open roads. In the city or metro you have to moderate both detectors to a useable level. The big difference is the gps and ability to block and remember without having to use an app on my phone. With the right segmentation settings both of them false alarm rarely. But overall the R3 was quieter and detected a bit sooner with similar settings.

It was easy to install with simple directions seems accurate

I’ve had the Uniden R3 for about 3 weeks now. It’s very user friend, it has an easy to read display and provides precise alerts at a decent distance. Nothing extriodinary like 1/2 mile, but just enough distance to adjust your speed. Truth be told, if you pay attention to your surroundings while driving, save yourself some money and don’t buy it. If you’re not that alert while driving over the limit, this device will save you money from getting a speeding ticket.

Great product have had no issues works everytime. Wonderful

Best purchase ever made for my car! Always accurate and has a long range. If you need a radar, this should be your first option!

The radar menu is simple to understand. long range was a major decision for me easy to put together directions for installation were pretty simple to follow.

This thing is awesome, catches cops two miles away, sometimes it’s so far that it just seems like a false alarm until you see the cop passing on the other side. Very quiet and limited false alarms. Overall very happy with it, love it!

This radar is an upgrade for my Beltronic detector. Its double the price! Been using it for two weeks now and I have notice it picks up a lot more signals then the old one. You ll have to teach it where the false alerts are and it learns can be annoying at first. It definitely detect sooner then my old radar.

I have had this scanner for over a year now and have loved it. It has excellent range and has definitely saved me a few different times both on the highway and on back roads. I haven't had any issues with it. It is easy to use and does its job well.

Uniden really stepped their game up with the R3. My favorite feature is the mute memory GPS location, that alone is awesome. Range of K and Ka band is awesome, has saved quite a few times from getting a ticket. Does pick up Laser well if someone is getting tagged up the road from you.
