Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is worth the extra money that will pay off in dividends by knowing if you are targeted by radar pointing North, South, East or West. Did some traveling to visit grand baby, freeway all the way and I am retired, and driving a little over the speed limit. Warnings by State Patrol about looking for speeders put me on edge since a friend of mine got a ticket for following the flow of traffic. No worries since I knew the direction of the radar and had plenty of time to heed the warning signals.

I reviewed this R7 for a few days online and after I bought it and used it for a trip to Michigan, all I can say is Wow! This is one of the best on the market! Main reasons, easy to hook up and use, good filters and mute capabilities and more importantly, its ability to pickup radar in advance. Unbelievable range and get this, it has arrows to let you know direction on where the radar is coming from. Great way to let you know the direction of those Smokey’s!

I upgraded from a R3 and I can say the R7 is a huge improvement in quality and design. It's a bit bigger than than the R3 but arrows are a huge improvement

10/10 experience. Easy set up and being able to edit settings via a laptop makes it easier.

Love. Works great. Easy to use. Easy setup. Keeps the tickets away.

Anytime this beeps it saves me a ticket. This is an amazing product and its super accurate.

This is a great radar detector. This is the second one I purchase, one for each vehicle. Love it!

pays for itself by keeping you out of handcuffs for wreckless driving! Buy it, its well worth the money. I had the other brand (V1) and i like this one better due to the fact that the screen is prettier. I like the arrows and you can customize colors etc. i like how it has a gps so you can tell it not to ring if you drive past a known store that has sensors that sets it off. Happy with purchase

I recently purchased the R7 after owning the R3, a little over a year. R7 was released after a few months of my R3 purchase. Both detectors are very identical when it comes to their performance. However the R7 has arrows, directing you to the location of the alert. I missed this feature which my Valentine One had. So I upgraded and I could not be happier. Well worth the upgrade from the R3 and looking froward to the firmware release of automatic lockout.

Purchased this for our highway travels and this is a very good detector. It’s loud so it can’t be ignored. It picks up various types of radar and shows the direction in which the radar is coming from. Very reliable.

After watching a bunch of reviews I went with this R7. I have it mounted under my rear view mirror of my X5M since it’s an open back it can see out the back no issues. You will just have to get used to marking locations with the gps that has false signals like shopping center doors. Other than that so far so good I want to see how it holds up with the NE winter ahead I plan on leaving it in the truck the whole time. Oooo and the plastic does feel a little cheap but not to bad another reason why I want to set it an leave it.

This will pay for itself the first month of using it, the detection range is very good, especially on the back roads. You'd be surprised on where it picks up a signal. the settings my be a bit too technical but after a youtube video you can really tone it in to what to ignore or what to focus on.

Amazing, saved my butt so many times. I have a heavy foot and I hate speed limits. The arrows help. It’s worth every penny.

Great radar detector, pricey but it do the job flawlessly! Have saved me a lot of time already.

This was a perfect purchase for me. Although it is slightly larger than the other detectors I’ve had in the past it isn’t over bearing. The arrows make all the difference in the world. It is always nice to know where the radar gun is at. The ability to adjust settings is also a great benefit. Although it is slightly pricey, it is a great purchase if you find yourself driving over the posted speed limit. It should also be noted that the windshield mount bracket is very sturdy.

Noisy guy at first, but if you go to Vortex Radars site/YT channel you can tweaK it to quiet down. Amazing range, display and features. One of the best units on the market.

this is by far the best radar i have ever owned. i had the R3, sold it for the R7. Love the arrows.

Here's the only problem - it chirps WAY too much. The range is incredible, the arrows - LOVE IT, multi bands at once is fantastic. But that K band just won't stop. I wound up returning it and for now am just keeping my Uniden R3 but will most likely go back to Escort for the 360. If you don't mind taking the time to try and program each and every marker this is the one. For a simpler life you probably need to go with the Escort 360.

I bought this unit after my wife cross a solid line to make a left turn . For that my insurance went up . I decided to get the (Uniden-R7 directional bogey) and R3 , out of all the radar these have the longest range and support all the current bands . Here a bonus you can update your unit by download the file from Uniden website On Utube there is a lots of information on how to setup your unit . In time you will know the difference between falls and the real thing . I Recommend this unit period .

This is my second Uniden-R7 Radar Detector. Very happy with both of them.
