It’s very difficult not to break the speed limit in Russian cities. Many temporary speed limit signs become permanent (they simply forget to remove them) and become a trap for motorists. If you do not want to fall into such traps and spend money on fines, buy the best radar detector that is on the Russian market. This device pays for itself very quickly, does not take up much space in the car and will warn in advance about road sections with speed limits.
To determine, which radar detector is better in 2018, we compared the reviews and prices of the most popular models on Yandex.Market. Our review includes models with a rating of at least 4.5 and a large number of positive reviews.
We have prepared an updated ranking of 2019 radar detectors, including the top 10 models according to customer reviews and test results.
5. SHO-ME G-900STR
Price - from 5 700 rubles.
- radar detector with laser receiver
- ranges: K, Ka, Ku, X, Ultra-K
- Arrow type radar detection
- modes: "City", "Route", "Auto"
- POP support
- GPS, base station. radars
- electronic compass
The South Korean model, which adopted all the advantages of the popular G-800STR anti-radar, opens the rating of radar detectors. The updated version has a new GPS chip from SIRF, the memory capacity has increased, the size of the LCD screen has been increased and the remote control has appeared.
The USB / OTG function is very convenient, which allows you to download the updated camera database, firmware or a new voice guidance file to the radar detector using the USB bootloader that is included. You no longer need to bring your device home to connect to a computer.
SHO-ME G-900STR is characterized by high noise immunity. And this means that he will not “squeak” at all the automatic doors of stores, base stations of cellular communications, etc.
Another nice little thing - there is a cover for storing a radar detector in the kit.
Cons: the base of GPS-identified radars is not complete, although it is updated once a week. The remote control does not have volume control for the radar detector and its on and off buttons.
“I like the radar, but you can't turn off your head while riding with it. When driving in Moscow, there is a strong background, the radar always detects a signal and is rarely silent, here you can turn off a number of ranges, leave only the arrow and lasers - it will be normal. Arrows see everything, even those who look at the tail. At a base in Moscow, it fulfills 80 percent of radars ... "

4. Prestige RD-200
Price - from 4 135 rubles.
- radar detector with laser receiver
- ranges: K, Ka, X, Ultra-K, Ultra-X
- Arrow type radar detection
- modes: "City", "Track"
- GPS, base station. radars
In the ranking of the 5 best models of radar detectors of 2018 according to reviews, the Prestige RD-200 stands out for several advantages.
- The first is additional features such as a compass, a clock and a display of speed.
- The second is a minimum of buttons. All settings are paired with voice control.
- Third - excellent build quality (like SHO-ME radar detectors, the Prestige RD-200 is manufactured in South Korea).
GPS is ready to work just a minute after turning it on, and if you are bored with voice alerts, you can turn them off completely by pressing the MUTE button, or mute them.
However, many owners of this radar detector note over-sensitivity in the "Track" mode, it is better to set the "City". But the main negative point is the constant operation of Strelka, even where there are no radars in principle. Some users decide this software flaw with firmware from Artway 200 or using a different power supply and cord.
“The radar is made in soft-touch plastic. It is very nice to hold in your hands. 2. The radar performs its functions at 100%, the probability of failures is minimal (on the factory firmware). 3. A nice bonus was the availability of a rubber mat under the radar. 4. Good screen.
I advise you not to update the firmware, as the radar starts to fail and sees Strelka everywhere. ”

3. Artway RD-516
Price - from 1 890 rubles.
- radar detector with laser receiver
- ranges: K, Ka, X, Ultra-K, Ultra-X
- detection of radar type "Arrow", "Cordon"
- modes: "City", "Track"
- POP support
For the price it is the best radar detector. It does not have GPS, like the more expensive models from the ranking of radar detectors of 2018, but there is a character display, legible at different angles, a non-slip mat in the kit and several sensitivity modes. He perfectly catches tripods located on the side of the road.
Unfortunately, this radar detector does not respond to AUTODORIA and other stationary complexes without radiation. And when you turn off the voice alert, the sound is muted at the same time.
“On the track he catches a tripod per kilometer if he doesn’t shoot in the back.
When sending a radar in the back, it catches late, but I think that is how all radar detectors work. ”

2. SHO-ME G-800STR
Price - from 6,022 rubles.
- radar detector with laser receiver
- ranges: K, Ka, Ku, X, Ultra-K
- Arrow type radar detection
- modes: "City", "Route", "Auto"
- POP support
- GPS, base station. radars
A stylish radar detector in a black and red case catches all the radars currently available, rarely reacts to gas stations, store doors and other hindrances, supports updating databases (including “popular” ones) and has a bright display on which everything is perfectly readable even in sunny day. Without problems, it turns on in both heat and cold (up to -35 ° C) and has an indication of the current speed of the car.
The disadvantages of this model are minor - unreliable mounting (widespread misfortune of radar detectors), rare false positives and the inability to update the databases using the USB bootloader. You have to connect the device to the computer.
“... I considered everything up to 10000r inclusively, but since I go to a long distance not very often, after reading the reviews I decided to try this model, so that if I get disappointed in the device I will not lose much money)). As a result, in 2 days 1600 km, everything that the device caught was possible both in the forehead and in the back. At first it warns about all stationary cameras from the GPS base, it catches a signal in about 1 km and detects the signal level as it approaches ... "

- ranges: K, Ka, Ku, X, Ultra-K
- detection of radar type "Arrow", "Robot"
- modes: "City", "Route", "Auto"
- POP support
- GPS, base station. radars
The best radar detector of 2018 in the ranking, of course, is SHO-ME. With all the wealth of choice, there is no other alternative with the same capabilities and at such a low price.
This model is based on 800STR and has the same base as cameras and radar. Even they have the same processor - ST Microelectronics. But the GPS chips are different.
The G-700STR has an easy-to-configure GPS module with weekly updates, a bright display, pleasant voice guidance in Russian, and most importantly - accurate recognition of stationary and portable radars and cameras at a distance of 700-800 meters from the car. In addition, the device shows speed and you do not have to be distracted once again by the dashboard.
“I bought a sho-me 700str radar 1.5 years ago. In Moscow and the region it catches everything, and that it doesn’t catch the radar part (road) it works out GPS, I also went to Belarus with handheld radars and also caught cameras perfectly. Convenient in settings, GPS module, weekly updates. ”
- Evgeny.
Paired with a good video recorder, a high-quality radar detector is an almost mandatory device for any driver’s car. If the registrar allows you to find out exactly who was right and who was to blame, then the radar detector makes it possible to avoid problems looming on the horizon. Do not break the speed limit and good luck on the road!
