Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product, works just as advertised. Cop in anchorage isn't gonna get me again. Im sour cuz he didn't give me a warning, was running couple mins late to my cancer treatment & a warning could've be sufficient enoungh. Thanks bestbuy!

First off radar detector not cop detector lol some people get that confused. I have used. Cheap cobra ones less then 100$ they always go off for blind spot, people’s garage doors. This one filters that out very well. City most of these are hit and miss. High way mode and traveling I have picked up highway patrol 3-4 miles away. Almost installs a sense of false security haha. I use it everyday. No issues. Has a gps built in to store spots that have radar signs so it doesn’t go off. Get one read how it works and what to look for. Learn it’s habits and you will be surprised. People tell you these don’t work lol they are wrong. You still blow past a cop without radar on or do something stupid it’s not gonna save you. But if there radar is on and pointed at you it will let you know. If there’s one thing not to go cheap on is a radar detector. 100% get what you pay for.

I have not had the chance to use it on any long trips yet, but I do like the digital on/off and volume control. Some other radar detectors use a mechanical wheel for these functions and the wheel degrades over time. The long detection range has detected a police radar at least 1 mile away around town.

Fairly accurate and very easy to use. Definitely recommend for the price.

Best detector for the money. Has a good range and hasn’t false altered in my 6months of ownership. K and KA love to annoy you tho

Really good range, saved me a few times, driving in NYC is horrible though with the speed and red light warnings because they are on every single block, so if you live in an area with a lot of speed cameras you may need to disable that setting because it get really annoying

This detector is the bomb, I mean that in the best way. I had the cobra 480i and it started driving me crazy with all the false alerts so I upgraded to this. It's like night and day, you can customize every thing on this puppy. As for false alerts with this model you just tap mark button and it recalls alert and stops it, COOL. I purchased a mirror mount and get power from my top console so no wires hanging, it's great. And firmware update was easy as pie.

Worth every penny. Great radar detector. It has very long rang capabilities and it does what is says.

Best radar detector I’ve owned. Can’t go wrong with Uniden

The price point for the functionality is spot on. Not the newest however detects from a lengthy range. Very pleased so far.

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

I am very impressed with overall quality, easy to use and how accurate it is, overall it has great performance.

This detector has been very accurate and the rage is fantastic. Very minimal false alerts, even with K band on.

By far the best radar detector I’ve ever owned. I’ve had many the top of the line detectors throughout my life but this by far is the best complete package and has already saved me some from getting a ticket more than a few times. Great detection range, even around corners, hills, etc... it also is very good locking out false alerts caused by store security sensors, car sensors, and many others compared to other detectors. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the best top of line radar detector!!!

This detector is not like the others. The long-range feature works GREAT! I especially love the ability to tag locations where you get erroneous signals with the GPS features. Having the ability to update the detector is also a plus. One really cool feature worth mentioning is the mute function on the plug so you don't have to reach up to the detector to mute it when it is continually going off and it is only for that signal. Once it picks up a different signal it unmutes so you don't get busted. Lol.

No complaints in 2 months. Gives plenty of warning. My only complaint is the K band goes off a ton, but I’ve learned to ignore it.

I researched models for some time and came to find Best Buy to have plenty of stock and reliable reviews on the Uniden R3. Shipping was extremely fast, and the package includes multiple mounting options and accessories. I would recommend also purchasing a "BlendMount radar holder" (separate source for purchase) if you are looking for a clean, no exposed wire, look. Has helped me during my travels across multiple states identifying new speed limits and police enforcement.

I owned the Fuzzbuster... the first commercial radar detector. I have had the Vanetine which is powerful but has too many false alerts. I've been using Escorts for years and have been very happy with them but needed one for another car and decided to try Uniden. Adjusting and trusting the unit took me some time, now, I highly recommend the R3.

I own 2 ESCORT 9500i but when it comes to UNIDEN R3, there is no other radar detector as ACCURATE & QUITE. Also the PRICE is way CHEAPER than ESCORT!!!

Has definitely save me so many times! I bought it cuz I got 2 tickets on the same month!! Definitely worth buying. Detects cops from a good distance to give us a chance to slow down.
