Uniden DFR7 vs Cobra ESR800

The Uniden DFR7 has managed to impress reviewers from some of the most highly trusted sources on the internet, including TechGearLab and CNET. It performed great in their in-depth hands-on roundups - it was awarded the "Best Bang for Your Buck" title by TechGearLab and "Best budget radar detector" by CNET in their respective Radar Detector roundups. That's high praise, especially when coming from such high-quality sources.

Moving on to the Cobra ESR800: no sources that perform reliable and objective hands-on testing have included it in their Radar Detector roundups, which usually means that a product doesn't make for a good purchase.

We couldn't find any sources that tested both of these Radar Detectors, so we only analyzed how they performed in reviews from different sites.

We first examined which sources rated each of these best and found that the Uniden DFR7 got its highest, 9, rating from TechGearLab, while the Cobra ESR800 earned its best, 5.4, score from ratedradardetector.org.
