Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the R3 DSP Long Range Radar and Laser Detector, particularly its impressive range, performance comparable to the R7, and comprehensive radar detection capabilities. Many find it accurate and easy to use, especially considering the price. While false alarms are a concern for some, the device's GPS functionality and other features are appreciated, and the display is easy to read. The size is also seen as an improvement over the R7.

    My first radar detector but I love it. It was super easy to get set up. One of my favorite features is you can geotag certain areas that you always drive in to prevent it from accidentally going off. I also love the speed camera detection for school zones. In addition, having red light camera warnings is always nice.

    It does give off a significant number of false positives (door openers, etc.) but I purchased it before a trip to Arizona and it saved me from legitimate tickets 3 times on that trip. An interesting observation to make is that it has an overall effect of simply slowing me down in general due to heightened awareness. I'll be getting one for my son in the hopes that it has a similar result.

    Works great right out of the box! Did not have to adjust any settings other than changing the display color to a cool blue! Accurate alerts and long range detection very beneficial for safe travels!

    Wow! Is this thing good! I read a review on this and decided to get it rather than the next level up. It’s true. If your looking for all the bells and whistles (pun intended) then next level is good but for almost $200 more dollars and you have to buy subscription to get some of the other services. If your looking for a great detector at a decent price this is it. I can’t believe the range on this! People riding with me even commented on it. And it does have a red light warning on it and other nifty stuff. Plus, I am using the suction cup mount with it and you talk about sturdy. Love it! And it’s easy to remove if you park in something like a mall parking lot and easy to put back up. Again, it’s a little pricey but I’m VERY happy with what I got.

    Been almost a month of using it. I love having all the settings that I can configure. It has amazing range. Is fairly good at getting false readings. Plus if you're annoyed with the K band always going off, you can switch it off! 10/10 would recommend.

    The range on the Uniden R3 is outstanding! It gives plenty of warning and very few false alerts. This is by far the best radar detector I have ever purchased. Highly recommend you won’t be disappointed.

    The pro is that it is the best radar detector out there, period. This is verified by multiple sources on the interwebs, so please do some research before trying to disagree with me. The only con that I can see is that it still gives false positives from the vehicle collision avoidance systems of other cars. If they could figure this out better, it would be worth 5 stars.

    This radar detector is so much more than just detecting radar! It has the many features of more expensive models, but they're easy to use AND customize! I highly recommend this model! Even to someone who has never used a radar detector before!

    for 300$, youll never worry about a speeding ticket again if you arent stupid. just fyi tho not every patrol vehicle has their radar on 24/7 (but ALOT do) while driving so dont freak out when it isnt doing anything as they drive by. i keep advanced mode on basically all the time and youll be good.

    I’m super impressed with the range and the “false” signal feature. I truly believe this is the best detector for the money. Can’t beat a Uniden
