I upgraded from the escort passport max detector to the r7 and could not be happier.. The detector is great out of the box but has options to tailor it to your liking if your a radar nerd like myself lol... Also the redlight camera updates are free from uniden where as escort you had to pay for a subscription service for updates... The range is stunning on ka band esp 34.7ghz

Great radar! I haven't owned one in years because all the older radars seemed to pick up more stores that cops, but this radar is completely different. Just drove from Michigan to Florida, and I'm very happy I bought this before I left.

This detector is a beast so much so you need to dial the setting quite a bit to make it work the best for your usage. This this can detect KA over 30 mile with 100% accuracy. This device is worth its weight in gold.

This is my fourth R7, one in every car in the family. R7 interface is intuitive and firmware update is easy too. It has very long range and one of my favorite function is the auto mute memory which blocks out false signals by GPS locations

I've been a longtime user of Escort-branded radar detectors but finally made the switch to Uniden based on the long range claims and the directional arrows. This detector reminds me of the Escort Redline in terms of distance and accuracy is quite good - I would feel confident using this on long-distance drives or in areas with multiple speedtraps. Only gripe is the odd shape of the detector and the overall look seems dated for a detector that just recently came out on the market.

I like it much more than the Valentine 2 because it displays the frequency on the screen. That way you can ignore Chrysler and Honda lane keeping radar.
Had the R3 but love the arrows with the R7.
A little noisy until adjusting the settings suggested by VortexRadar on YouTube.
The new suction cup mount is a big improvement too.

The Uniden R7 is a remarkable radar detector. It receives radar at extremely long distances without an issue. The only downside I would have to say is that there is a lot of K band that you will pick up on the highway. Mostly form blind spot monitoring vehicles. If you dont mind that, and want an outright performer the R7 is for you.

This has been a wonderful radar detector and an upgrade from my R3. I think the best thing about it are the arrows that help give you a general area where the source is coming from. I think the only downside is that it’s bigger than some detectors.

Excellent radar detector. Easy to use out of the box or to select advanced settings. Auto memory was set after a week of driving usual route. Great accuracy and detection distance for actual positives. Didn't hurt that it was on sale at the time too.

The R3,R7 and R1 are not the most user friendly of detectors out there. It takes a half hour or so of research on your area and setup, and it will K band false more often than other detectors.
But the range. It's insanely good. Well worth it to me, and if you live in an area where K band is not used, this detector is the stuff.

I originally owned a Valentine unit for 10 years but because of the technology it would require sending back to manufacturer for software upgrades so after looking at the reviews, I decided to switch over to the Uniden R7 and couldn't be happier. I have much less false alarms and I love the built in GPS feature.

Excellent radar detector. Excellent range a sensitivity. I’ve owned may detectors, Cobras, Escorts, Whistlers, this one blows them all out of the water. This is well worth the money and exactly what I was hoping for.

Great radar detector. I returned my Escort for it. Escort had way too many false alarms even after programming certain frequencies out. No detector will completely avoid false alarms, but this one does a good job.

Absolutely loved this device, gives you ample amount of time to check your speeds when theres a speed check ahead, or when theres radar while traveling down a road from all directions.
