Natural Gas Leak Detector - UPGRADED Portable Propane Methane Combustible Gas Sniffer Detector with Sound & Light Alarm, Gas Tester

This product allowed me to prove to my landlord we had a leak of natural gas in the building and it forced him to get an emergency plumber to come fix the problem immediately Without the detector I don’t know what I would’ve done He wouldn’t call the gas company or the fire department but then I whipped out the detector and proved that there was natural gas leak around the stove and then he then all of a sudden sprung into action. The gas company ran their detectors in immediately confirmed my concerns. I also use this at my parents house and detected a leak on the outside of the building by the meter That to prove to also be accurate If people are leaving reviews that say it’s not working there clearly not using the product correctly It takes a bit to get used to by dialing it in slowly but it definitely works and can save you a lot of guesswork

I think the unit is fine, but it really is a "sniffer" which I did not catch, it would be great to find the exact location of a leak, but you really need a permanent monitor this is plugged in to a power source to alert you of a potential leak. The description was accurate, just not my understanding of what i needed when I installed my gas stove. I am not sending this back because I now have a permanent detector and if that goes off, I can use the other for detection of the exact leak location. Hope to never have to use it !!

The price! It takes a few minutes to get the hang of it, after it “warms up” make it as sensitive as possible without setting it off then check your connections. I do it every time I change a LP tank, found a bad valve leaking on my patio with it and it’s a lot easier to use than soapy water, just make sure there’s no wind!

I am not a professional and this is the only gas detector I have used. Having said that, it seems to work pretty well. I dismantled a gas stove, removed the short flex gas connector line, and after being completely detached for about 10 minutes the detector still sensed some small amount of residual gas in that two foot scrap of flex line. I also discovered it is sensitive to whiskey, even on your breath after drinking. So why not give it 5 stars.

I was skeptical at first because there are so Many types of these units on the market, but once I had it set properly it works great. I'm a do-it-yourselfer and had recently changed an igniter on our gas hot water heater. I tested the area by using this sniffer and was relieved to know everything was just as I had hoped. No leaks! Love this unit.

This is completely useless. I am amassed at how much junk products with excellent reviews amazon have. Do reviews even mean anything these days?When the alarm volume is set to high, This product signal gas regardless of where you are. ( I went outside, 5ft from and house and it signal gaz). The opposite happens on lower volumes settings. It won’t signal anything (I opened the gas strove and point this thing at it and it never signal anything) .I tried to return but never received the return label hence I’m stuck with this garbage

This product works very well the meter was very sensitive and I found a gas leak very easily very evidently in the stove that had been leaking for about two years very small leak but like I said this thing is very sensitive and picked it up right away I fixed it and no more leaking very happy!

Update (11/30/18): I was very surprised to receive an e-mail from the company recently offering me a replacement or refund. They also said they would work on improving the product so I very much appreciate this level of customer service. Adding one star.It has quite a delay in detecting leaks and sounding off. I almost missed a leak because the first time I went around a gas valve with it, I didn’t leave the sensor there long enough. I was about to pack it up and consider my patch job complete but decided to try it again but this time leave it longer and that’s when it went off. It’s something everyone needs to be aware of if they choose to purchase this item.
