Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this R8 from Best Buy, expecting a working device, but what I got instead was a defective product right out of the box. I spent time troubleshooting, hoping it was a minor issue, only to confirm it was completely faulty. By the time I reached out, I was just 5 days past Best Buy’s ridiculously short 15-day return window—and their response? Refusal to exchange or replace it. Instead, they pushed me into a manufacturer warranty repair, which means I now have to wait 3-4 weeks for a fix on a brand-new, non-functioning item. This is completely unacceptable. A reputable retailer should stand by the products they sell—not leave customers with a useless device and a long wait time for repairs. If you buy from Best Buy, be warned: they do not care about customer satisfaction once your 15-day return period is over. Even if they sell you a defective item, they will not make it right. I’ve spent thousands at Best Buy in the past, but after this experience, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. Save yourself the frustration and shop somewhere with better policies and customer service.

Excellent detection speed and proper ramp up. Gps lockouts work fine.

Definitely worth it Already paid for itself with saved tickets

Best Radar In The Market, Has Helped Me Multiple Times!

Blows away my Valentine Gen 1, voice alerts are great!

Great purchase highly recommend it its a little pricey but its an investment

Great detector for radar speed cameras, laser & police radar.

saves me from tickets from now on cant say but the best

Worked great but not $860 after taxes, direct wire kit and mirror attachment. I returned it all and Went to the V1 Version 2

Purchased after returning R7 for screen dim issue.

This radar throws a lot of false alarms , gping back to Escort redline 360

Great product worth the price good investment saves you on tickets

Uniden R8 ...The best radar detector..would recommended!!!

GPS unit in my Uniden failed after a short time. This rendered a lot of features like auto-lockouts unusable. Best Buy was wonderful with the return process, and I replaced it with another brand I have been very happy with.

The item feels cheap, but overall i am impressed with it. I did customize the settings with ka band segmentation.

This radar detector is extremely sensitive with direction arrows that are very useful. It costs more than most others but well worth it.

My r3 undr7 is better this i feel gives alot of false alerts

saved me a decent amount of times, however the arrow pointing radar detection is no accurate

works good few times it did not alert me but to be expected.

I've own my uniden 8 less than four month's it does pick up great longer ranges. Lot of dollar general i pass daily it still goes off you block them it goes off but tell you it's blocked. Speaker started breaking up like broken speaker never a fll word just chatter. I ordered it best buy. They refused to send me recipe you have to go to uniden return fill out mail it and recipe to them to repair. 850.00 i order speaker from ebay sorry service from best buy. Some did'nt speak english when i said i was having trouble under standing she hung up. All evening and was going to have to drive 100 miles. Never again.
