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.

This thing is freaking amazing, super sensitive to all Ka bands in about 1-1.5mi on hwy and about 3mi on open road / back road. Be sure to set up your radar detectors and get the correct Ka segmentation, K Pop, K Auto Mute on your specific state! There are plenty of videos on YouTube that explain this subject very well. Out of the box, the R7 is extremely sensitive and will give you alerts on everything that uses radar

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
