Great product, would suggest DFR7

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is my first radar detector. At first I hated it with all the false alerts but the k and ka band filter work great. I wish I would’ve payed the extra 70$ for the dfr7 because I can now understand why the gps feature is so useful. It would help filter out the false alerts when I pass Walgreens or CVS. Besides that, the only false alerts I get are from other cars with blind spot monitoring systems.

It keeps you out of traffic court

15 month Review.
I live in a rural area, so very little interference from business false alerts or cars equipped with sensors to monitor other car distances or other interfering devices. It has never failed me. Gives you plenty of advanced notice if radar is approaching or speed traps are set.
Pays for itself very quickly and easy to remove and store. Only complaint is the suction cup doesn’t always work. In extreme hot or cold temps. The unit does not stay on the windshield and constantly falls.

Update: summer 2021. DFR-6 RIP… it died.. no power.. changed fuse but still won’t power up.
Keeping 5 stars because it was reliable, saved my Hyde on several occasions and purchased the newer DFR-9 model with GPS and several newer features.

Great radar detector for this price point

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

I want to start off and say that I do not represent any radar company here (i.e. I don't work for Uniden, Beltronics, Valentine, Escort, or whatever else). So this review comes from me personally using this on a daily basis. In general, I would advise getting the best detector that you can afford. While this unit is not the best, it certainly can be considered the best bang for the buck right now when compared to the features and reliability it offers.

The DFR6 is the latest offering from Uniden in terms of non GPS radar detection. This means that the unit cannot learn where consistent falses happen, such as those near an automatic door. However, this model does come with both K and KA filtering, both of which cause little to no performance impact for alert distance, to help eliminate most falses caused by blind spot monitoring. Traffic monitoring filters are also available if your area uses radar based traffic monitoring systems.

For the cost ($199.99 as of this review), this performs extremely well for its price point. I've had false alerts for K, but nothing that I couldn't handle by muting the alert manually. Out of all the legitimate speed traps and radar traps I've come across, I would say this unit has alerted me 99% time with enough time to check my speed. I've only had one occurrence where a cop was sitting with the radar off axis (i.e. not facing traffic or being perpendicular) to where I was alerted late. My first ever alert pleasantly surprised me, because I was about a mile or so away from the officer using his radar. My most favorite alert was a detection of an officer being barely visible in tall grass. On average, expect to be well alerted to KA based radar with enough time to act accordingly.

Pros:
+ Detects K, KA, POP, X, and Laser. (I have POP and X turned off for my area).
+ K, KA, and traffic monitoring filters (helps eliminate false alerts)
+ Can customize which bands are picked up (i.e. you can manually tune out K, X bands if you want laser, POP, and Ka on).
+ Highway and city modes. City mode automatically mutes X band.
+ Audible alerts with different tones depending on what is picked up.
+ Easy to read screen with adjustable brightness.
+ Mute button is present on the coil cord that comes with the unit.
+ usb port to perform firmware updates, if necessary.

Cons
- The startup voice can be quite annoying. Though I found out that you can manually disable the voice prompt on startup through the options.
- Not too great at off axis detection.
- ramp up sound could be a bit smoother, sometimes can sound as if a legitimate alert is close but then get further away.
- Typical two pronged suction cup mount. Can bounce if your windshield is at a weird angle. Also has the tendency to fall off if you constantly remove it from the windshield.

A ticket saver

I've lost count of the number of times in the past year this detector has kept me from getting pulled over. It can be quite sensitive, but that is much better than not sensitive enough. Great list of features and fairly easy to operate. I put one side of the hook-and-loop tape on the bottom of the unit and placed it on my Dashmat in front of the driver. Works very well to keep the unit in place. This has kept my driving record clean and likely saved me much more money than it cost.

If you're unsure of which radar detector to buy; buy this!

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2017

Verified Purchase

Got this DFR-6 this past week. It has been really awesome so far. Used to have a Whistler XTR-690SE which was great but too much chatter with today's radar based cruise control systems. This unit has been really quiet so far and has decent options. Range has been really good as well even with all the filtering and such on. One drawback- no way to turn X band on with City mode; I am in NJ and some police depts still use X band. My old radar detector had 2 city options with low sensitivity X and no X which this does not. Could be a good firmware update however. Also miss the strength bar that the Whistler had (this can be found on DFR-5 but which doesn't have the advanced filtering of this unit) I do a mix of driving back and forth from NJ to PA and have confidence in this unit after just one week. PA local cops are supposedly not authorized radar or laser and this has verified that as I see nothing from those cars. Word of caution- they go old school and will clock you with a stopwatch or pace you. Cord has a USB port (fast charging by the way) and the windshield mount is one of the strongest and best I've seen. Also came with a semi- rigid carrying case. Would 100% buy again.

I bought this in August of 2018. It worked fine for 9 months and then just stopped working. I originally bought it from “Beach Camera”. I tried to return it and was able to download an amazon slip, I sent it off and got a return message saying it was beyond the refund time. If you do buy this be sure to get a warranty. This time it bit me. I originally bought this for $169, it’s terrible to see it’s now $109.

Fantastic radar detector.

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2016

Fantastic radar detector. After owning the CR 90 and Passport 8500x50, this thing is a dream. This does a much better job of detecting Ka bands from a distance and off access than the other two. I did not get the version with the GPS and red light cam detector because I don't need those where I live. But this detector has saved me multiple times where the other two failed. I typically drive between 5 and 15 over and I always have enough time to slow down. Awesome detector for the price.
