I’ve used V1 since about 1996. Nothing but. Upgraded every 3-4-5 years. Happy.

Earlier this year I bought at R7 based on reviews and it certainly exceeded my expectations.

And then when they came back in stock I bought an R8. My wife drives quickly too.

Honestly. The range is phenomenal. The R7 is quieter day to day, less falses from blind spot detection systems. I drive in NJ which is one of few states that still use X band a lot. So I can’t filter all c bands alerts. My R8 and 7 are setup with very similar filters enabled. It’s amazing how much quieter the 7 is.

But the 8 is incredible too. I’d buy a 7 before buying another 8 but your mileage may vary based on you local radar usage.
