It's been over 20 years since I've had a radar detector! This one has amazing range!! My biggest complaints about radar detectors back in the day was that you had no idea where the signal was coming from! This alleviates that.
My only complaint is that K band gets set off by BSM (Blind Spot Monitors) that a lot of cars has now a days! You can turn it off, but I'm in a state that uses K band regularly, so I keep it on. I just don't pay attention to it on the highway. Did I mention it has phenomenal range!!???!!

I have had many radar detectors over the years. Bought this on sale based on online reviews. This thing is a game changer. Half or less alerts in town due to GPS memory. The front, side, or rear detection keeps me alert of smokey sneaking up behind me. Hard wired in myself and that kit is well worth it.

I have owned a Uniden LRD 950 and a Valentine One and I have to say the Uniden R7 is the best detector I have owned. The performance is outstanding, the display can get very bright, and the ease of use is a big attraction here. Definitely recommend this for any radar detector enthusiast or any newcomers!

Love this detector! Yes, it is NOT the R8, but for the money and bang for buck value, this is more than capable of you're not needing all of the new features of R8. Yes, it takes a little getting used to to get it configured for your personal use, but once you get it set, it's golden. Great range! Saved me soooooo many times.

Extremely sensitive. I get warnings from as far as 1 2 miles away. I do live in the Delta and the land is very flat with the road having long , long straight sections. This is probably why I have such early warnings but, it still gives me great notice when I travel through the rolling hills heading west to Shreveport. All in all a very good unit. One of the best I have used.

This radar detector is amazing. It notifies you very very early vs my other radar detector. This part is not a Best Buy issue, but Uniden’s update method is not the best, but it’s manageable and can be done with YouTube and searching forums for help and tips. Nice you get it updated the first time, every other time s easier. And this radar detectors software updates can be rolled back if there is a version you like better. Oh, be sure to clean your front window with alcohol and the suction cups too before applying. Let dry and tick them on for a better suction cup sticky method. If you don’t, you find the radar detector dangling from the power cord within a few days....your experience may be different than mine.

Really good radar. I wish it was better at picking up laser guns but that's about the only Con it has in my opinion. I was between this and the Valentine one ver 2 and went with this since its plug and play with its own GPS. Has definitely saved me so many times, so it has payed itself off already.

This radar detector is top notch for the money i paid. I do like all the different settings it has to offer. Not quite sure on how it works entirely but i will tell you that if this thing does go off, you better slow your butt down because this detector has yet to give me a false alarm.
I live in vegas and not one yet and no tickets, so this baby works spot on everybody.

Best detector on the market.
The ability to quiet all x and k bands when your traveling under a certain speed is great for in town driving.
The ability to Mark all speed traps and mute all false alarms with the gps feature is nice.
The elimination of most blind spot monitoring alerts from Honda’s/ Acura’s and others is also nice.
The arrows are flat cool.
The ability to update software makes this a long term investment.

First time purchasing a Uniden radar detector. I haven't regret purchasing it since I got it. All my other cars has the Escort Redline 360c and Max 360. The R7 works just as well as the other radars, but at a factions of the cost. A little big, but works well with the Blend Mount mounting bracket.

I’ve been using the Uniden R7 radar detector for a few months now, and it’s easily one of the best investments I’ve made for driving peace of mind. It’s packed with features and offers excellent performance, especially for those who spend a lot of time on highways or road trips. Which I also compared to the r8 but at the end they both are pretty similar but the r8 I allot more expensive so I got the r7 instead

IF the officer is running radar. IF. I repeat IF. The R7 will pick up the KA band from super far. And will never miss. Every single time theres radar being ran anywhere within 2 miles of me. (Detection range may vary due to trees, If you are new to this type of thing, this isnt a police detector. This is a RADAR detector. If the cop is not running radar, you will not get an alert. Run it in highway mode at all times. If you HEAR laser. Do not stop. Its over for u already. Go 140 and hit the next exit quick. Good luck!
