Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this just before a road trip. It has already paid for itself. Still getting to know the various alerts and figuring out which ones to disregard, but I have found the range on this detector is incredible. The alerts come a long time before you are even close to being within range of police radar. Identifies the signals and starts alerting well over a mile out even with hills and turns ahead. By far the best radar detector I have ever used.

Love this use it in my daily , picks up radar far away definitely helps keep you in check

This uniden has accurately alerted me to just about every police radar ive come close to. With 21,000 miles of highway use i can only say how well its performed. Its so sensitive to ka that most times i have that cop on my radar miles before i even see it! Love it and am buying another one today for my wifes car.

As expensive as tickets are, this is a good investment. Great range and it is easy to use. It has great ratings and is several hundred less than the other top of the line brands I would consider. Great product, especially for the money. Directional indicators would be nice, but I can live without them for the savings. I would not be surprised to see them added soon, but it would require a second antenna and would likely add to the cost.

This was my first Radar Detector, honestly don’t have any complaints, I’ve had it for a few months now and it’s saved my @$$ more times than I can count. Picks up state troops and sheriffs very well, small town cops you have less of a warning because their k band signal isn’t as strong.

For the price, it's a pretty good radar capraed to other top radars. Detection is pretty good. Long range.

Solid radar detector that works great even at long distance. User friendly menu.

Very sensitive and lots of settings. Where there are known X/K band alerts (such as in front of big box stores) you can hit the mute button twice (about 1 second between presses) and tag the GPS location of the false alarm. In the future, the detector will auto-mute X and K (and not Ka or Laser) in that location. I also like that you can turn *off* the button backlights, and you can also black out the display completely at night. I do have occasional false laser alerts in direct sunlight.

Works well. I've been using Escort for years and first Uniden unit and I like it. Its a major upgrade from my previous one so it provides additional detections such as MRCD. While not sold as a 360 degree unit it does pick up Ka signals from behind me.

I haven't had too much experience with radar detectors or jammers in general, but the time I've spent with the R3 has been nothing but great. It has excellent range and has already paid itself off twice. The only issue I have with it is the number of falses coming from Acura's and other cars' BSM systems. This, however, isn't unique to Uniden as almost every other radar detector has this problem.

Very good my friend uses it every day and really enjoys it

This the best radar detector I’ve owned. Reasonably priced. Much better than a different highly-advertised and much more expensive detector prone to many more false alarms which I returned to a different seller. This unit has good instructions. Easy to read and understand alarms. Minimal false alarms. Highly recommend!

Radar detector has great range but has a ton of false alarms. I do like the option of the mute button on the power cable. You get a lot of features at the price point.

This radar detector is amazing. It has saved me countless tomes. I have only used Escort in the past, I'm sold on Uniden now. Wonderful product.

Great product for the money. Was not the top of the line in price but has worked greatly for me. I normally drive 10 miles over speed limit but this does a great job with radar detection. Great for lower speed limit areas. Has alerted me several times when police are in the area using radar. Will not help with VASCAR

performed very well on the road. there is only one remark that it is possible for it to be very sensitive and works even when the radar works on the neighboring street. in all practice, it did not work 2 times, but there is a suspicion that the cops simply did not use the radar at that time

Excellent radar detector for the price compared to the higher priced ones! Im VERY happy with it.

Not the best but a good unit for the price. Recommend if you don’t have 500-700 dollars for the better units. Easy to use and setup. Has notified me and helped me avoid some potential tickets.

Good product, price worth every penny, my 1st trip, it is captured 2 hidden police cruisers. it helps you maintain your speed as well. At least when radar detects you have a time to check your speed and continue your travel.

Love It! Not Annoying, Accurate and fits the bill, as Top Notch!
