Just switched from R7 to R8
So I had this Uniden R8 for a couple of weeks now. Prior to that I had a Uniden R7 for 4.5 years. The R7 was fantastic too but I think that it had a limited range compared to the R8, at least that is from the reviews. I haven't had a chance to test the long range on the R8 yet. I am radar detector enthusiast so sometimes I just go for a drive hunting for police/sheriff radars spots. Today I had an alert from the rear, I can't emphasis enough how important is to have coverage on the rear. I do like that the display is well lit and also like the initial Bep when it detects something, it is loud so it alerts me. I am taking the time to say thanks to Uniden for offering 10% for first responders.

Where has this been all my life!
I am beyond satisfied with my Uniden R8w. This radar is exceptional, there's nothing I dislike about it. It's extreme range and advanced filters are top notch! Plus filtering out unneeded interference. I love that it's equipped with Bluetooth capabilities and WiFi allowing you to connect to apps. It was pricey, but well worth the $$$. So glad I made the investment.

R8w
It's a good radar detector probably better than good, but there are a few things I'm not excited about. First being the volume, while it does mute the music on Android Auto I would like it to be louder to get my attention better. Especially KA band. I also am not a fan of how big it is, this thing is a monster, and because of that the mount that I have that attaches to the mirror, bounces like crazy under normal driving s situations. The radar detector itself seems to detect radar very well.
