REVIEW FAQ ADDITIONAL INFO
 

UNIDEN R8 REVIEW


The new Uniden R8 is Uniden's latest dual arrow directional radar detector which provides directional information.

In our Uniden R8 review, we found the radar detector's performance is significantly improved making the Uniden R8 the most sensitive and longest range detector we've ever tested.

Having more than 16 times the capture distance of a police radar gun, the Uniden R8 provides performance often exceeding all other manufacturers' top performing radar detectors at considerably less money making it a very good value.

The Uniden R8 has the largest color display of any radar detector allowing it to display a wealth of information at the same time, including up to five radar encounters simultaneously, time of day, speed of travel, and direction of travel. Uniden R8 accessories include a hardwire kit for those interested in eliminating the use of the Uniden R8's cigarette power adapter. You can read a detailed Uniden R8 review.

4 of 5 Very good radar detector June 3, 2023
Reviewer: Leo Guy from Derry, NH United States  
Overall very good radar detector and very light in weight, rear antenna is very sensitive on the Uniden R8. Volume level could be louder and build quality could be better and there’s some issues with the Auto-lockouts and Speed reading on the Uniden R8 isn’t always accurate reading 2-3 mph higher than actual speed. Recommend manual locking out false alarms, do recommend the Uniden R8

4 of 5 Uniden R8 Purchase May 2, 2023
Reviewer: Neil Woida from Clermont, FL United States  
Using your website and based on your recommendations I purchased a Uniden R8 radar detector. I used it for the first time today. Likes: plug and play, easy setup. Intuitive Message screen. Easy to read. Built in GPS. Dislikes: Compared to my Escort 360 and Beltronics Magnum STI it feels flimsy. Sliding the detector in the windshield mount takes a couple tries and is not tight, so it vibrates slightly.

I have high hopes for this detector and it will be getting a lot of use over the summer.
