    This radar detector is better than other that cost much more. It suits me perfectly. If you don’t care about directional arrows (you should care), save some money and go with the Uniden R3.

    Great detector with lots of features. Still need to fine tune the settings, but just made the trip from Ohio to Myrtle Beach and it saved me several times with plenty of notice.

    Great detector, though pricy. I didn't think I would care much about the direction indicator, but it is nice to have.

    Best high-end radar detector for the money, in my opinion. I suggest researching the best configuration settings for optimal results. Google 'Vortex Radar Uniden R7'.

    Its a great radar detector but quickly ruins the quality of the drive. Gets constant alerts even after fine tuning and installing latest firmware. Be sure to familiarize your self with each state regulations and what bands they use before you drive.

    Saved me from over $800 in tickets on long road trip to Texas. Very comprehensive set of indicators, warnings and customization options. The price is high, but worth the bill.

    I own the R3 and really like it. Has saved me many times. This R 7 is even better and shows direction of the sending unit.

    The pandemic has limited my useage, however, is a reliable unit. The direction indicators are helpful but it is the range that impresses. A good option for detectors at the price point.

    This radar detector has by far been a excellent purchase. Setup will take some time and can be frustrating but picking up alerts up to a mile away is amazing!

    I found the arrow feature to be a bit of a letdown in practical usage. The upgrade in experience from the R3 didn't justify the price difference to me.

    Picks up a signal really well in a good distance! A true stealth device even in Virginia and DC. Loving my new “canary bird” that chirps every once in awhile.

    It’s an upgrade from the R3 just hope the internal part that locks the clip in place doesn’t fail like the one in the R3 using plastic it streatched and the plastic notch wore away

    This detector will not just alert you to radar, it will also alert you to red light cameras, areas not to overspeed, and speed cameras. Definitely useful for a long road trip.

    Cant go wrong with R7. I upgraded from the R3 and this unit is much better. It is sturdy and loud, and works great every time, better than many others out there.

    Really top of the line. Suggest the blend mount and hardwired kit too. Make sure to look up how to program the advanced settings
