New purchases have a 1 year.
Like New carry NO WARRANTY.
They do have a flat fee repair of $99 for the r8 if you are out of warranty
Community Reviews
The Uniden R8 is a long range radar and laser detector that stands out for strong range, fewer false alerts, and useful GPS based muting and app control. The front mute button, wireless updates, and optional phone pairing add convenience, and the resale price is described as a solid deal for a model that holds value well. The main caution is Amazon resale condition and warranty, since Like New units carry no warranty and used detectors can be affected by heat or prior handling. A practical pick if you want premium detection without paying full retail.
Common Questions (5)
It can arrive like new in original packaging and work normally, which is why some buyers call it a great deal. There is also a reported risk with used detectors: heat exposure and prior handling can affect reliability, and one prior Amazon resale R7 began smoking during a USB update.
Yes. Waze and Highway Radar are treated as complementary tools rather than replacements, and the R8 can pair with Highway Radar for phone-based control and settings changes. Waze is especially useful on highways and where many drivers are reporting hazards, but it does not replace a detector.
The R8W is the model mentioned for WiFi updates and laser-jammer support, while the standard R8 was initially said not to include that support. Another comment says Uniden later backtracked and will add laser-jammer support, so the feature status appears to have changed.
The R8 is described as having slightly better range and fewer false alerts than the R7, while functionally being very similar. The main practical upgrades mentioned are the front mute button and phone/app control for settings, with the app being optional for many users.
New Uniden purchases have a 1-year warranty, but Like New Amazon Resale units carry no warranty. Uniden also reportedly offers a flat $99 repair fee for the R8 if it is out of warranty.

Being able to pair with Highway Radar is a nice feature, but not really a game changer since you can use highway radar as a standalone app. You can still combine it with the R7 and the only thing you're really missing is that with the R8 paired to your phone you can control the radar detector and make changes to settings via phone.
Whichever you choose, check out the recommended settings for your geographical location from vortex radar. It will significantly reduce false alerts.

My R7 picks very few false negatives and when it does I can mute it and it saves it in the memory and uses gps to automatically mute it when I go by it again.
Laser use is very state by state dependent. Some states don't use X-band. Some states use all bands and all systems and lots of red-light cameras and photo radar. The addition of GPS to these have helped mitigate those dangers along with Waze. Lots of tools to help keep you informed.
Most of the cars that have automatic cruse control distance keeping use radar. That was a big problem for the radar detectors when they started, but most of the false signals due to those systems have been filtered out by good DSP. Laser doesn't appear to be as big of a problem, not that it doesn't happen.
