    This is one of the best purchases I have ever gotten it is so worth the money. I was skeptical at first until I started using it I have very impressed with the range it has and the early warning.

    Been using Uniden radars for a long time thanks to reviews on YouTube. This one is great! Love the arrows and I’m sure it’s as good if not better than my previous radar. Wish it was a little more affordable though.

    Works great, super sensitive on the highway and has already paid for itself several times, only minor complaint I have is it doesn't come with a hard wiring kit. Would be nice to include with the high price tag but is still fantastic

    I really like this detector, it works really good. I hate how you can be driving the speed of traffic and you get picked on sometimes and get stopped. This will alert you if one is waiting for you, and way ahead of time

    Catches ½ a mile to a mile for sure. Saved me a handful of times. Not much of a speeding guy but bought it to be safe. Arrow accuracy is so so If it is beside or behind you. Love it though!

    The R8 has excellent range and does a very good (but not perfect) job of filtering out false signals from other cars. I have found the directional arrows to be a useful feature.
