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.

5 of 5 Excellent service, excellent product February 6, 2023
Reviewer: Tracy from TX United States  
Very impressed with the R8 so far! Love the display and alert system. There are tons of settings and tweaks that you can make to dial in the detector the way you want. However out of the box, it works much better than the competition. I've been a long time escort fan but times are changing! Great value detector here!

5 of 5 Great Detector January 12, 2023
Reviewer: Pankewicz, Paul from Mckinney, TX United States  
Big improvement over my R3.   Much quieter and better range.  My only gripe is the display could be brighter.  My R3 is brighter

5 of 5 A Whole New World December 20, 2022
Reviewer: Beer Guy from Crosslake, MN United States  
This new R8 replaced a Gen 1 V1 and things have come a long way since then. The long range and the filtering ability are fantastic. GPS lock outs are something I didn't know I needed but they are a huge plus.
