    Works very well almost to well, it can pick up a cop miles away on flat ground. I was on the fence about getting the r8 but it’s worth the money

    I used to have the escort max 360 that was fully integrated into my c63. The r8 is literally 1/8 of the cost of that system and more than does the job. Saved me from a bunch of tickets already and I’m about to buy another!

    Performs as expected and advertised. Optional settings for personal preference is a plus. A little boxy in design but still compact when in use.

    Easily the best or one of the best detectors available. Alerts miles ahead of the threat and with accuracy. Only downside is the constant false alerts from cars and other reactive devices.

    Saved me several tickets, and makes driving so much more comfortable knowing you have a leg up. They get to hide in corners and turn off the lights, you get to shine a light on them. Level playing field.

    Truly works. If you are in the market for a radar detector, then you know the bit money spent now is worth the money you might lose later. Don’t cheap out and spend money on a detector that doesn’t work.

    works good has a long range picks up radar sometimes before the waze even shows police on map not just the 1/4 mile for the waze audio. Seems to have longer range than my Escort redline 360 did and it was real good until the power cable went out.

    Upgraded from my R3. Love the directional arrows that signal is coming from. I thought my R3 was great for filtering false alerts, this R8 is AWESOME . Little bigger than R3, but not that noticable.
