An Important Investment August 12, 2010
Happy Customer
We discovered that we had high radon when a friend lent this detector to us. We purchased our own and have been able to monitor the place where we were living and to help others see if they need to purchase one of these.
The statement that there are no early symptoms from radon is a lie. We experienced many unexplained issues until we got out of the radon and started to recover. Our bird and rabbit died from the exposure before we knew about the radon. So if you are in a home that has a basement or a slab foundation, it is worth checking into.
I have one complaint: The front label sticker is off-center and partly blocks the light. I would think for something in this price range that quality control would be better. While it is a cosmetic issue rather than a functional one, it makes the unit look cheap.
 No problems May 1, 2010

I purchased this detector to put in my basement near a gas furnace. It replaces a much older natural gas detector and carbon monoxide detector. This particular unit plugs directly into a wall outlet, so one needs to have a wall outlet in the proper mounting location already. That was not a problem for me. So far, the unit has worked flawlessly, with no false alarms. I like the fact that it flashed a red led regularly to indicate the unit is working
There are a few comments in other reviews that the carbon monoxide detector is set too high for safety. The instructions that come with the unit say it is set for 200 ppm, and cite a US safety standard. (I tried to find the instructions online before purchase, but could not.) It appears that this trigger is beginning to approach levels where exposure over a period of time might cause problems. I find this very reasonable for my application since it reduces false alarms but sounds when there is really a problem. I might want a more sensitive carbon monoxide detector or one with a numerical readout for use near a bedroom upstairs, for example.
This unit neatly replaces two detectors and seems to provide just the kind of protection from a serious problem that I desire around the furnace in my basement.
 Not compliant with any current UL safety standard March 3, 2010

I was disappointed to find that this U.S. manufacturer is actually
selling gas alarms that don't address current safety standards.
Specifically, I found that the product manual does not say it is
UL-listed for any relevant Underwriters Laboratories standards, and
when I checked the UL product database I could not find listings for
this product for either explosive gas (UL 1484) or carbon monoxide (UL
2034).
In the case of explosive gas (UL 1484), this product is not UL-listed
though it appears to be compliant in the loose sense that it alarms at
the standard set point of 25% LEL. While other products in this
product line are UL-listed, this one is not, suggesting that the
manufacturer simply doesn't care enough to pay for the appropriate
testing/listing for all of their products.
In the case of carbon monoxide (UL 2034), this product is not
UL-listed and indeed has definitely NOT been compliant with UL
standards for over a decade. The original standard (UL 2034-1992)
specified CO alarm set points at 100ppm(90min), 200ppm(35min), and
400ppm(15min) and these are indeed the alarm points listed in the
product manual (which is dated 1996). In 1998, UL updated the CO
alarm set points to 70ppm(240min), 150ppm(50min), and 400ppm(15min).
But the manual says quite clearly: "This detector has not been
investigated for carbon monoxide detection below 100ppm."
Given the note about calibration that is also contained in the product
manual ("CO sensor calibrated at 200ppm CO specific to avoid false
alarms") one gets the sense that this is a product for people who care
about buying products that won't wake them up with false alarms as
opposed to people who care about safety standards of the current
century. The similar Kidde and First Alert products are UL-listed and
people complain about more false alarms. You pays your money and you
takes your choice.

After my wife bumped a burner knob on our gas range and fell asleep while the house filled with gas, I ordered this alarm overnight. I have it plugged in near the stove. It alarms in seconds if a burner is on but not lit and has never given a false alarm.
Fantastic! October 8, 2009

This unit beats doing a paper test and then forgetting to do it. You just glance at it whenever and it tells you what level you're at. We did a disposable test before we bought our home and it was about 12ppm. I needed to do a long term test so I got the electronic test. Works great! We have 13ppm in the middle of summer with windows open in our basement. We are getting mitigation put in later this month. Then I can watch it and see if it is working.
