Gas Leak Detector & Natural Gas Detector: Portable Gas Sniffer to Locate Leaks of Multiple Combustible Gases Like Propane, Methane, LPG, LNG, Fuel, Sewer Gas with 12" Flexible Sensor Neck

I use this to test for, and find, gas leaks in my travel trailer. It works well. It was easy to figure out how to use it. The display is easy to read. Good purchase. A must have for owners of gas stoves.

I bought this because the house we moved into had some serious issues with the ventilation where Ptraps were bypassed & H2S Poison was leaking back into the house. Not only has this device helped troubleshoot the rest of the ventilation system, but it also helped me to double check all the gas connections too.It’s a very simple design, with a wheel to adjust the sensitivity? But it’s effective in detecting natural gasses. It is loud, & has an annoying buuuuuzzzzz when something is detected but that’s a good thing, right? You wanna know if there is an unwelcome gas in your house. It does detect the gasses fairly quick, but takes a few seconds to reset. You get what you pay for.Accuracy is undeniable, & I say that because I used it on my dog when he had an upset tummy and was VERY gassy! The meter rose to Three Bars! I hope this little device helps you as much as it helped me, & gives you the peace of mind that your house is gas free.

This gas leak detector is a reliable and essential tool for home safety, providing accurate and quick detection of any potential leaks. Its user-friendly design and clear alerts give peace of mind, ensuring the safety of my family and home.

After multiple failures of various detectors installed in my camper, I opted for this portable device with a much needed sensitivity control. Although this is a battery operated portable device, I installed a 5-volt USB power supply where my previous detectors were installed and added a USB power cord to the unit. I adhered the unit to my camper wall with a velcro strip. Now I have the safety monitoring needed for the camper, and if I need to use the unit elsewhere, I simply detach it and install (3) AAA batteries and it's ready to go. The previous sensors were far too sensitive, resulting in annoying false alarms and they had high failure rates. I couldn't even put on after-shave lotion without setting them off -- ridiculous and very annoying! The sensitivity control on this Y201 is terrific, allowing you to stop the false alarms. ANY detector should be tested weekly, but instead of a test button, why not use the real thing -- I test the unit once a week with a BIC lighter. Also, the camper manufacturer installs the detectors at the floor level, where they can pick up dirt and dust, setting off the unit and possibly even clogging the sensor or eventually disabling it. LP gas is heavier than air and will stay by the floor, but there is no real reason to put the sensor that low to the floor. With the Y201, you can point the sensor down, where it will not have the tendency to pick up dirt or dust, and it will be at a more desirable level from the floor, about 5 or 6 inches. Also, because LP gas is detected by odor, the only time you really need a detector is when you are sleeping! Please note that this unit has an audible feedback feature that indicates proper functioning -- it makes a ticking sound. If you are a light sleeper, the ticking sound may bother you, so keep that in mind. I got used to the sound and it does not bother me at all, and I am a light sleeper. It's like a clock with a second hand, although it is slightly faster than that. Anytime the detector is not needed, it can simply be switched off, and this will also prolong the life of the unit. If you are forgetful and cannot remember to make sure the unit is on when needed, then this may not be for you. If you have small children (or cats) around that could possibly mess with the controls, then this may not be for you. As for me, I am very pleased with the unit and happy that such a device was available. I have been using it for a couple of months now, and I will revise this review accordingly if problems develop. The company now offers a lifetime warranty for the unit, which is amazing since all LP sensors have a limited lifetime, similar to an incandescent light bulb.

Great product and must have if working with gas cost is much more affordable than ones your going to get from a store and my detector works better than a good bit of the store bought detectors.

This is my second time purchasing this gas leak detector. It caught a propane tank leak earlier this year, and the fire department confirmed the leak using their detector.So when I moved out, I got the exact same detector. The new place had an old gas stove and I kept smelling the gas. When I called the gas company, the gas tech also confirmed the leak. I told him this yellow detector had been saving my life; he asked me if he could try it, so I let him. He was pretty thrilled that it worked just like their company gas detector.I also saw a social media post about a gas leak in front of an old apartment in NYC. A resident’s dog was barking at something outside, so the girl brought exactly the same detector, and the indicator lights went up sky-high right away!When I first got it, I could never remember how to use it, especially when I was nervous about the smell around the house. So, I wrote a simple version of the instructions on the box. Now, especially this year, I’ve been using it a lot, so I didn’t have to write the instructions on the new box, but if you are not familiar with the detector, it might be good to keep the instructions in the box with the detector or somewhere you can remember.Since I don’t need to use this every day, I usually remove the batteries from the detector when I’m done and keep them in the box with the detector. I'm hoping that that way, I’ll have enough battery power when I need to check the leak as soon as possible, especially since many items I have are now rechargeable and I don’t have many spare batteries like before.I feel so safe having this detector.
