Customer Ratings & Reviews

First police scanner / radar detector I’ve ever had super easy to use and learn I haven’t got any tickets sense I’ve had just wish I would’ve got it sooner kinda is expensive though

Very accurate and easy to use! Reliable and compact to go from car to car and we don’t take any road trips without it!

With the latest update, it has good reductions in false alerts and excellent range. The auto lock outs are decent - not as good as Escort, but better than nothing at all.

Was a little hestant as i realky wanted a v1g2 but as limited availablbity and this just happened to be on sale its fantastic has paid for itself sometimes a little noizy but not anything like my whistler laser sux though

This has the best range of any detector out there. Highly customizable settings and free lifetime firmware updates. Can't go wrong!!!

Saved me so much money in tickets. Great performance and range

This is the best long range detector and accurate detection of signal . You will not get false laser alert in a middle of nowhere Like The competitor does. Great Price for the value

just dropped auto lockout update not too long ago and works amazing. Range is crazy far on this! Previously had a valentine v1 and this is so customizable.

have had it for a while. have driven across several states and it has picked up radar from over a mile. as soon as it chirps for the first time in a while, i slowdown and sure enough after a mile it starts detecting more and there they are. i have had luck with laser detection twice but unless the laser hits the radar directly it wont detect. radar detectors are useless against laser. i would defenatley recommend.

This detector picks up from a very long ways off. I wonder about the laser side of it because I have a local who has the laser out all the time in plain site. It has never gone off when I have seen him. I know they are a trigger device but the amount of times I have seen him, one would think that at least one time I would pick him up. I got laughed at by an officer running the Lidar system in Illinois. Better options in the menu would be nice. It is very plain compared to the Escort 360c unit. K and Ka bands are phenomenal though. Btw, the 360c didn't fair any better against the Lidar laser.

Radar detector technology has come so far in the last 10 years, and the Uniden R7 is leading the pack. I love the directional detection, and this radar packs all the latest bandwidths. It suffers from a lot of Blind Spot falses, but I wouldn’t say that detracts from the quality of the device. This radar also does not have Auto GPS Lockouts like the Escort radars. Again, it’d be a nice feature, but it’s not a dealbreaker. There are rumors that it will eventually be rolled out in an update, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Overall, it’s a awesome radar detector. You’ll never feel safer on the road.

Purchased this for our highway travels and this is a very good detector. It’s loud so it can’t be ignored. It picks up various types of radar and shows the direction in which the radar is coming from. Very reliable.

It is worth the extra money that will pay off in dividends by knowing if you are targeted by radar pointing North, South, East or West. Did some traveling to visit grand baby, freeway all the way and I am retired, and driving a little over the speed limit. Warnings by State Patrol about looking for speeders put me on edge since a friend of mine got a ticket for following the flow of traffic. No worries since I knew the direction of the radar and had plenty of time to heed the warning signals.

It’s a really good radar detector it was so good I returned and got the uniden r8

I reviewed this R7 for a few days online and after I bought it and used it for a trip to Michigan, all I can say is Wow! This is one of the best on the market! Main reasons, easy to hook up and use, good filters and mute capabilities and more importantly, its ability to pickup radar in advance. Unbelievable range and get this, it has arrows to let you know direction on where the radar is coming from. Great way to let you know the direction of those Smokey’s!

This will pay for itself the first month of using it, the detection range is very good, especially on the back roads. You'd be surprised on where it picks up a signal. the settings my be a bit too technical but after a youtube video you can really tone it in to what to ignore or what to focus on.

I upgraded from a R3 and I can say the R7 is a huge improvement in quality and design. It's a bit bigger than than the R3 but arrows are a huge improvement

This is a great radar detector. This is the second one I purchase, one for each vehicle. Love it!

Had the R3 and replaced it with the R7 what an amazing upgrade with new features.

Very long range on KA,K bands. The arrows are a nice feature also.
