Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have always(25 plus years) been a die hard Escort owner. I have a Max 360 which I love. As fate would have it my careless self dropped it and it broke into pieces. My fault, I get it. So what to do? I read numerous reviews and as I am in Texas and we have lots of open highways I took a chance with the Uniden R7 and its made here in Texas. Once I programmed it to soften or get rid the many nuisance alerts all I can say is holy smoke! I have a friend that has a ka band hand held gun and we put it thru quite the scenarios. It blew away my Escort Max360 on the ka side of things which is pretty much all we have in Texas. Some k band but none here in DFW. I am sold. I have a new favorite. The build is my only concern. A lot of plastic. But should not be an issue unless of course I drop the thing again. All in all my advice is take a strong look at the R7. Its a no brainer!

Very good device, quick delivery. Very recommended.

This thing really does detect police radar quite well. I have had several occasions where I was saved from a ticket because is started beeping strongly and far enough out to give me time to slow down. However, on two occasions I have been pulled over and the officer claimed to have "locked" my speed at a given velocity and the R7 never made a peep. Both of these situations were front aspect, radar shots. I have been able to verify the claim by passing both fixed K and Ka band speed indicators and the R7 was silent. After thousands of miles and about 3 years of testing, I found that for reliable results, I need to power it off and then back on again about every hour. (For drives that will last greater than about an hour) Other than that, it works reasonably well. Kinda expensive for the value though.

I purchased back in Aug 2020, this has been a great RD. No issues thus far. Has saved me from uncountable tickets. Make sure to keep the firmware updated!! The latest firmware updater (v2.05 as of this review) makes doing this easier than ever.

ALL THE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LEFT WAS EITHER WORK FOR ESCORT OR DIDN'T DO FIRMWARE UPDATES. NOT EVERY POLICE CAR HAS A RADAR GUN OR LASER GUN. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH FALSE ALERTS WITH HONDA'S AND ACURA'S.

Excellent radar detector. Can detect signals from 1 mile away, with laser capabilities as well. Highly recommend.

Purchased June 17, 2019. Fantastic detection. Just died after a couple of weeks of screen brightness fading. I will buy another or the R8. Saved me more tickets than the cost many times over. Highly recommend Uniden R7.

Much, much better than the R3 it replaced. Worth every last penny. Cons: This isn't a "extreme long range" detector as it says on the box. This is a savage radar detector.

I have owned this device since April of 2020. It's been great. I also have the upgraded, aftermarket firmware for it which made it that much better. I do have screen burn-in, but I don't notice it at all in daily use. This is a great detector even if it was made obsolete by the R8. The R7 can stand on it's own even now.

I've owned this radar for 1½ years so far and it's saved me hundreds of times from state & local radar enforcement. Laser Detection is not the best, but Radar Detectors in general aren't a good solution for LIDAR anyways, even if it were to be highly sensitive. Database for redlight/speed cameras is great but not as good as Waze, which is a free app for Android/iOS users. Radar Sensitivity is phemoninal, definitely amongst the top performers in the market today. I would suggest using this radar detector with Waze for maximum protection from stationary [LIDAR users are always stationary] and mobile enforcement.

Upgraded to this radar detector from the passport 9500 and it is night and day different. This thing is amazing!

great radar detector, long range, lockj outs are very helpfull bsm filtering can use some work, other than than its pretty solid

The uniden R7 works well. Lets you know where law enforcement is hiding and does so at quite a distance away. Very pleased with this unit.

I also traded up from the R3 to the R7 and am very happy I did. I never got the range I was hearing on forums from my R3, however, the R7 is a beast. The ambient light sensors, the larger and much better and customizable display, and the arrows make the R7 well worth it when compared to others of a similar price points.

Perfect this rd has 2k marks to erase false readings picks up all bands

Very nice. Awesome range! And the arrows tell you where the po’po is.

Haven’t gotten a ticket since I’ve had it yet so I’d say it’s great!

Love the look of the display. The arrows have finally made it! It’s an R3 on steroids. Picks up detection from far away; does what it’s supposed to do!

This product works as advertised I highly recommend it .

Upgraded from r3 to r7 to gain the directional arrows. Very glad I did. Highly recommend.
