    • Mama, I'm goin fast!
Style: Laser Radar Detector
Outstanding unit. Picks up speed traps miles away accurately and provides ample time to react accordingly. Directional arrows are a nice touch, so you know which direction trouble is located in. Can be overly sensitive in dense urban areas, but has a GPS mute feature which allows you to mark and silence alerts in specific places. Pricey, but a solid investment if you like to drive fast. A must have accessory for any sports car. ... show more

    • This is a radar detector, not a police detector.
Style: Laser Radar Detector
Two things to remember: not all police units run radar, and this isn't your dad's radar detector. Many detectors today do require some level of configuration, and knowing what is used in your state helps greatly. Vortex Radar has an awesome guide on how to set up your detector. As for the Uniden R8, this is by far the best detector I've owned yet. The long-range detection isn't exaggerated; it really does pick up radar from far away, and it's fast too. Except to get false alerts every now and then. I don't care what kind of radar detector you have; there will always be false alerts. Lucky, the Uniden does cut back on many of them. ... show more

    • After a year, going well, great direction and functions as claimed
Style: Laser Radar Detector
I've had this about a year now. It picks up signals that are important (mostly KA) very early giving you adequate heads up. Couple this with a waze setup and you should be in a good place. The picking up ahead/behind/side is great, no more guessing. I've probably driven 30k miles with it, would recommend 100%, I came from the escort line and have no issues with this brand or the model. It's expensive but for those who do extensive driving or struggle to watch their speed, this is a must. ... show more

    • Never Fails
Style: Laser Radar Detector
Radar is very good at what it does. There are plenty of false alerts (IN MY AREA, but it's good at filtering and isn't bothersome), however, it's very easy to distinguish a true positive with the way the radar picks up frequencies. There is room to tune this radar and minimize false alerts, though I haven't. I have yet to pick up Laser, but that's not the radar's fault, I just don't drive near the state line much. Overall: The radar does exactly what it's supposed to do better than it needs to. Super long-range signals, directional arrows are accurate, radar volume is easily adjustable with good ranges, and the mount is very strong. I do think that this can be overkill for most people, I purchased this one for two reasons, it is really long-range and it has future support for laser jammers. Otherwise, this is a very reliable and respectable radar. I'd recommend the Uniden R4 if this radar is to pricey. ... show more

    • Excellent Detector
Style: Laser Radar Detector
Hadnt owned a radar detector in decades. Read something about detectors and was curious what was on the market these days. Looked like the Uniden R8 and the Escort Max 360 were the top choices. Hit youtube and did some research. Decided on the R8. Pretty staggering price, because it always seemed like it takes about $300-350 dollars to get out of a typical speeding ticket, and you logic out how a $300 detector will pay for itself on the 1st time it alerts you and saves you. Well, this one will have to save you a couple times to justify the $700 price tag. Have had it for a couple months now. The main redeeming part on this expensive purchase is Ka band detection. It is beyond good. The range of pickup is exceptional. They stole the idea of arrow display to tell you which way the radar is coming from, from the original Valentine One detector.....but it is essential in helping fine tune your conclusion of which way the threat is coming from. X and K band are probably only good if you are traveling through Mayberry, where older technology radar guns are probably still in existence. Laser is worthless. It just confirms a ticket for you. Ive actually been lasered once with this detector. But, the cop had his Ka signal going in the background, so it tipped me off to pay attention that a cop was in the immediate area and make sure my speed was in line, and THEN I got hit with laser. If that Ka signal wasnt going in his car, thier laser would have gotten me. So, once again, laser detection is worthless, its too late if they laser you. Its all about the Ka band. As far as the look, it is chunky. But in a great way. The display window is large and angled towards the driver. I literally like it more and more everyday I use it. All the displays are understandable and easy to quickly reference with your eyes. I can't imagine the Escort 360 could be better than this. Also, I saw people complain that for this price, the shell of the unit should be metal, and not plastic for the price you pay, and it made it feel "cheap". I never felt like the plastic was a deal breaker. Looks nice, feels fine. Not an issue for me. The suction cup mounting bracket has been a problem. Been dealing with high heat days and then a cooler night and have come out many a morning to leave and the mount is lying on the floor. The last thing you want is a $700 radar detector falling (maybe the plastic could be a problem?). But i must have gotten a good seal recently, because it hasnt fallen in weeks. Another VERY important thing, my STRONG advice, RUN THE WAZE APP ON YOUR PHONE IN COMBO WITH THIS DETECTOR. They work extrenely well together. When one has a weakness moment, the other covers it. These 2 together are formiddable! And Waze is FREE. So, I would highly recommend this detector. Hope this helps in your decision☺️ ... show more
