Uniden DFR7 Super Long Range Wide Band Laser/Radar Detector, Built-in GPS w/Mute Memory, Voice Alerts, Red Light & Speed Camera Alerts, OLED Display, Black

I got 1 today and it is worth the money only thing I don’t like speed it reads how fast u are goin and starts saying going over the speed limit

In a nutshell, the Uniden gets an A+, the Rad450 a B+. Of course the uniden is twice as expensive so it should be better. But The RAD450 performed quite admirable for it's price. It is not quite as sensative as the uniden facing forward. For cops coming from the behind, the uniden definitely seems more effective. It takes awhile to figure out what is the best settings for these units. Both of their directions are decent but could be better. If you want to just set it and forget it use #5 for the uniden and #6 for the RAD450.The "quite ride" for the uniden works with the GPS speed. on the unit No sound below a certain speed. This works perfectly forfiltering out useless parking lot and stop light false alerts. Because the uniden can also mute specific locations it is even more versatile for filtering falsie's. I did not use this in any of my tests. Because the RAD450 doesn't have GPS, it's "quite ride" works differently. An audio will sound for a few seconds (2 or 3 beeps) then go silent. If it doesn't have a 30-40 second space between alerts, it will remain silent even if it gets a new alert (it will always display the alert). This works quite well for parking lots since you are getting many multiple alerts rapidly. Yet, this shouldn't be a problem while driving highway or city. In the driving test below I had all kinds of falsie's on the old radar including the blind spot radars used on cars. While following a Chevy equinox on the highway, my old unit cycled on and off continuously while behind this car. Both the uniden and RAD450 were totally silent. They didn't register any alerts. Other cars caused the same thing in my old unit but I couldn't identify whichcar was the source. The other 2 units remained silent.I was fortunate that the day of testing, Cops were everywhere so I got good data. I didn't get the actual distance on the city speeding trap, but both the Uniden and RAD450 were equal distances and gave enough warning to slow down. The old unit gave maybe enough warning. In summary,the uniden is a terrific unit. Spending anymore I think is a waste of money. If you can't afford the $250 price tag, the RAD450 is a pretty good unit and option. Anything cheaper than the RAD450 will most likely behave just like my old 7000 which is rendered useless due to falsie's.Also, as an aside note, the "intellimute" option on the RAD450 does not work on a 2004 Lexus rx330. Supposedly, the unit can tell the RPM of the engine through voltage spikes in the electrical system. My guess is that it won't be able to read most cars so don't count on this as a useful filter option. Regardless,The RAD450 works well enough for the price. So, I am keeping both; The uniden for my main car, and the RAD450 for my second car. I should be well protected in both less all those annoying falsies! Hope this review helps.

Awesome Quality great deal

I like it, but it definitely doesn't like being in a hot car. I haven't seen to take it down every time and shield it from the sunlight. Even then I typically have to unplug it from the power source because it won't turn on when it's hot. I live in South Carolina so that's been a daily issue. Not sure if that's a safety feature for the electronics or if it's a defective unit. When it's on, it's sensitive and loud so I guess it's a small price to pay

We use these in our semi trucks that works over the road and they are absolutely a lifesaver. If you’re a speeder then you absolutely need one of these. I’ve got one in both of our semi trucks and in all three of our personal vehicles these are a must buy if you travel a lot saved me a mini mini speeding tickets.

Hasty shipping! Pretty Good it picks up a lot of Bands!!

Great Great product detects radars.Lasers of all kinds a mile away and around corners over hills. Uniden detectors are the best in my book. If I could give them 10 starts I would. Very very happy with the product

The build quality is terrible It comes with this old coiled style power cord which puts constant pressure on the point where the cheap, brittle plastic part inserts into the detector body. So that is the first thing to break of course. It was 25 to replace the same one but with a straight not coiled line. It too has now broken at the end, but this time I think it is because the suction cup and all the bolts holding the mounting together came out leaving the thing in pieces none of which are stuck to the windshield!Next to go was the lights on the display screen. I would restart it to try and make sure it was really working but the only true test was to pass a police officer using radar. So it works so far but you really need to know what the beeps/lights are telling you and here that is all gone.Basically I treated this as well if not better than any normal consumer. It wasn't yanked on or in anyway mistreated. It is in short, built like crap and don't expect it to make it to its second birthday without something breaking or multiples breaks of many different things.It really bugs me that with the price of electronics decreasing and technical functionality increasing rapidly that I couldn't purchase a decent basic radar detector for under 200. and then to have it start breaking all most right out of the box and completely worthless in just over a year..................I don't want one with multiple bells and whistles, just one that is built to last a few years and works for one thing......detecting radar!
