I especially like that there’s a 3rd party R8 companion app you can add to you smartphone for only $10 so you can more easily change settings from your phone. The app can also add more advanced false alert filtering and “Spot Locks” which are like Auto Mute Memory locations but overcome the memory glitch in the detector because they’re managed by the app. If you turn the volume of the detector off and run audio through the app, then most audio alerts should he real threats instead of the other way around, which keeps you sensitized to chirps.
The only thing this detector want do much for is Laser detectors because by the time that narrow beam hits you it’s too late. The best protection for laser is a jammer. The best on the market is the ALP laser jammer and the Uniden R9 laser jammer, but the latter requires the Uniden R9 detector system instead of the R8. If you don’t want to shell out up to $2k for a legit laser jammer, then just keep a car or two in front of you. If the laser is far enough away, the beam will mostly hit them but can spread enough for you detector to detect.
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.
