    Great Detector

    I previously owned the R3, which was amazing but it was missing arrows. This a very good product, range is even better than the R3. Works great here in Washington with the state patrol using Ka 33.8 gets a detection from a long ways away and has saved me multiple times. Overall great product definitely the best detector on the market.

    Defective Units?

    From my 1-month experience with the R7, I would say that there's definitely an issue with the front horn sensitivity. Maybe I had a defective unit, or maybe it's a firmware issue, who knows. For a $600 detector I would expect these kinks to be worked out. While I had the R7, I drove past multiple LEO's using KA Band, and the front horn would not alert until the very last second. The rear horn on the other hand is extremely sensitive and works great. I have returned my R7 and I'm back to running my trusty R3.

    Kept beeping at any red light or round-a-bout. Would beep by stores. Super annoying. Tried a whole bunch of configurations. Watch numerous videos on it. Returned the item.

    Not effective in modern age

    The golden age of radar detectors is gone I'm afraid. I purchased this R7 as I just picked up a Mustang and though my lead foot could use all the help I could get. I'm sad to report that this radar detector (and probably all others) are no longer helpful for two reasons - false alerts and laser. The blind spot monitoring false alerts were RELENTLESS. I tried messing with the settings to get these faded out but they kept coming. This radar detector is also great at picking up automatic doors at stores. As for laser, no radar detector can help you with laser and that is what's used by FHP on the side of the interstate anymore. This detector is good for nothing besides a false sense of security.

    Not worth the hype .. for the price I would expect a better craftsmanship and materials . The clip that releases it from the mount broken within 1 weeks . The front screen seemed a bit lose . But what really made me returned it was the poor detection . YES , I did updated it to latest firmware . My buddy and I went for a road trip , he has the V1 radar . He’s radar did a great job , my won’t detect the threats until the patrol was visible . I might give a 2nd try once they fix these issues .

    Poor Build Quality

    Build quality is horrible. On my second drive, windshield mount mechanism on detector failed causing radar to fly off my windshield and not reattach anymore.
