Customers are saying

Customers regard the R7 Radar Detector highly for its impressive range and accurate radar detection capabilities, praising its ease of use and the helpful directional arrows. However, some users experienced a high number of false alerts and found the device to be bulky and expensive. The K band detection, while effective for some, also proved problematic for others due to false positives.

    This little beaut has saved us from a few tickets. It takes a little time to figure out the different sounds which identifies what type of radar is being used. Works well. It may be a little pricey but we have definitely saved what we spent.

    Very loud! Accurate and fast results are important to a user of radar detectors. The R7 delivers both of those exceptionally! I’ve never been let down by this detector or even the R3 for all it matters. They have the best detection and range in the game. Give it a try!

    What can I even say that hasn't been said about this detector. It truly is one of the best on the market right now, hands down for distance. This should be everyone's go to detector! If the R7 is out of your budget, the R3 is just as good it just doesn't have the arrow option.

    Best radar detector on the market for the money

    If you’re trying to decide on a radar this is the best radar in the market for the money. There’s nothing that really outperforms it on the highway. Updating it is a little problematic but once you figure it out it’s pretty easy. If you have an Apple computer it’s not going to update on that you have to have a PC. I had a redline 360C and while the ability to update via Bluetooth was nice, it did not outperform this at all. I drive to Florida from North Carolina and back every month and this is so consistent and gives you great situational awareness. I consistently get a 2 1/2 mile warning. Best radar detector on the market until Radenso Thea comes out, then we will see if it’s worth the big $$$ it’s going to cost. Find vortex radar on YouTube and you will see what I’m talking about. Oh one more thing, by the two year extended warranty. Absolutely worth it

    Awesome radar detector with great range. Arrows are extremely helpful. Lots of good info online on how to best set up. Slightly less range than R8 but still great and cheaper. Best bang for the buck.

    Incredible range for a windshield mounted unit, basically 2 Uniden R3s stuck together. Most Honda radar systems are blocked, but not all. Upgraded from the R3 and very happy with the purchase

    I drive 300 mile a week for work. This guy works great. It picks up signals from miles away and tells you what the signal is. Its a little sensitive. But I like that. You get to know what channels to pay attention to. It has already paid for its self in the first week i owed it.

    This thing has amazing distance if I may say this will outperform any of its predecessors and the GPS capability to block out those ignoring alerts. And the ability to configure rated for your particular area. You will not go wrong with this baby on your windshield.

    Works amazingly well once you learn the features. It helps know where police are, so you can feel safer on the road knowing they're there. It's like a warm safety blanket giving a cozy, protected feeling. Thanks police for keeping the roads safe!

    Overall the radar detector is a high end/ high quality product. The range is the best I’ve ever seen. I’ve owned quite a few detectors over the years. The only reason it got for stars was because it had a pretty high price tag and the overall volume wasn’t quite as loud as I had hoped. I would recommend this product if you’re in the market.

    I upgraded from the R3, what an improvement. Don’t get me wrong, the R3 is still a great unit, I just wanted to try something with the directional arrows. It was a great integration and glad I made the upgrade. The range is even a little better than the R3.

    Really solid detector. Excellent range. Wish the mute button was differently located, but probably where I have mine mounted that makes it bit awkward. A few falses, but acceptable for the range and sensitivity that it offers.

    Superior and probably the best radar for how much it’s priced (compared to other similar priced radars). Just need to configure the settings so you won’t get many false alerts.
