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.

    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

    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.

    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

    I returned this radar because it just beep for no apparent reason. It was hard to tell if a police care was near or not. This was not a good radar for me. I brought an escort instead.

    Highly disappointed!!! I ordered this radar rector brand new from Best Buy and received it may 9. This weekend the screen has turned black and remains that way even though I could still hear the radar detector when I start my car and the buttons still light up. Now I have to send my unit in to Uniden for warranty since it’s too late to return to Best Buy.

    This detector worked great until just after one year from purchase and then poof...it stopped working. Just out of the blue this detector stopped working. One day (no different from any other day) I used it on my way to work, no issues, got out of work, plugged it in, and nothing, no noise, no lights, NOTHING. I could see if this were a $50 dollar radar detector, but I paid over $400.
