Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good radar response. Hope they active the bluetooth feature.

had R3 now R 8 HAPPY WORK GOOD @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Not that great! It just not good quality in my opinion. Maybe someone else it a great product. Just not for me.

Cheap build. The front cover popped off with a 3 foot drop. Snapped back on easily, but I didn't notice that the Mute and Mark buttons also fell out. Uniden insists on an in-house "repair" at $100 and a minimum of two weeks instead of simply sending out replacements. A secure construction for a portable device should come at these prices. Customer service offered no apology and hung up.

Purchased the R8 about 4 weeks ago. If you're like me and prefer to simply go with "Auto" settings, then setup is a piece of cake - up and running in a few minutes. Great sensitivity, and the auto mute memory is very much appreciated. I prefer a dash mount as opposed to anywhere on the windshield (some states are uptight about that), and the larger suction cup adheres super-great on the dash - I put velcro on top of the mount and the bottom of the R8, and it's quite stable and looks quite good (I still can't figure out what the smaller dual-suction-cup mount is for - I can think of no place on my windshield where that would work, and it doesn't stick very well). However, I never understood why companies insist on power cords that are coiled, which means they often must be stretched to get from unit to power source. This produces a great amount of tension that easily pulls the unit from its mount, and the cord looks stupid and ugly and impossible to make inconspicuous. I ended up buying a substitute power cord that's straight wire (and generous in length) for about $6 elsewhere. I was able to discretely tuck the wire from the unit to its power source - 95% of it is completely hidden. Problem solved. And the new Android app for the R8 named "R/Tach" works great - a very handy accessory. It also tells you when firmware updates are available!

Has some flaws and there are currently no updates to correct it great unit over all though

We all know why you'd want to buy this, but save the money and anxiety. You need a EE degree and an "insider" to set this thing up to not just go off everytime you pass by anything with a radiowave transmitter or laser (that's highway sensor, store metal detectors, most cars with "self driving"/ blind detection, a tool playing with a laser, etc... Just drive smart..., safe, and AWARE.

It’s give me so many false alarms, can’t tell it’s real or not. Not happy about it trades in for up grade to Redline 360 c will go from there

Not picking up whatever my Local PD is using. I passed a motorcycle officer standing on the side of the road, actively pointing his radar? gun and it never alerted. Thankfully i was not speeding, but the person in the next lane over was, and the driver got pulled over.

Inconsistent, seen cops ahead of me and not detected

Im scammed by Best Buy im gona saw you you took my $825 you you said we rufund you I have all the proof sho there is no money caming from Best Buy to your account And im going to take action against Best Buy in the social media

Works as advertised. Overall happy with the product.

Far from impressed with range compared to the Escort products. Directional arrows often indicate radar in the wrong direction, so worthless. Going to return.

I have a heavy foot. I love that ot detects all bands. So much that i had to silent X and K band

The radar doesn’t catch anything but cvs or target automatic door

very poor service, placed my order was supposed to be delivered to me, it never came in. went to the store in natomas ca. they had one is stock but refused to give me. had to cancel my order. and its been 10 days still no refund issued.

Expensive. Drove by 6 different areas with parked patrol cars. Not one alarm given. Returned it, went back to passport

Have not had a radar detector in over 20 years. Only had it a week and I love it.

I worked ok but would not take updates. I had t return it due to this fact.

Legit got this to avoid tickets but instead it let me down, i was cruising a solid 85 in a 70 and it let me down because i knew where the staters like to be at, and since it didnt go off i assumed it was good but turned out it wasnt good
