Gas Detector, LPG | Natural Gas | Coal Gas Leak Detector, 3-Pin Plug-in Sensor Gas Monitor with Sound Alarm and LED Display, Methane Propane Butane Combustible Gas Alarm for Kitchen Hospital Garage

I purchased this alarm for my 81 year old mum who has lost her sense of smell and has a tendency to knock the gas knobs on her cooker. I was a little dubious about this alarm working from having read the reviews, however, I decided to purchase it anyway as previously, by sheer luck, a family member went to visit mum who had gone to sleep not realising she had knocked the gas knob to ‘on’! So far it has worked brilliantly, whether it takes a little while to detect the gas or not. Being elderly, mum does fall asleep but the alarm has woken her when it’s detected gas. I can truly say it’s saved her life as going by last time, the gas had been on for 4hrs and the fire service had to go in with gas masks to open all the windows and doors with mum having to sit outside for 2hrs before they let her go back in. The most important thing is this device works and if it’s a choice between not having one and having one, I’d certainly opt for the latter.

After realizing that my current battery-powered natural gas detector was broken (it even beeped outside!) I decided to try a plug-in. This product is really simple, just take out of the box and plugin. It takes a minute or two to set up but soon after the clear display was '0' telling me I was safe. Nice and reassuring. The instruction booklet states that the gas will collect around the ceiling, the detector is to be placed 30cm below and 1.5 m from the air (a window). This means it might be hard to find a suitable place if you have a really small room. For myself, I probably need to move mine further from the window but I still feel that this product has helped alleviate my worries about natural gas.

My dad had a small 'smellable' gas leak but has no sense of smell. This gives us peace of mind as its supposed to detect all kinds of leaks

A neat, easy to use little device that could possibly save lives, it was straightforward to set up and quite unobtrusive once plugged in and doing it's job.Obviously, the test will be if there's a leak and the alarm triggers to warn us, probably something I don't really want to happen.

Good value is to install and compact

I bought this for my mum’s new holiday caravan as a new boiler had been installed just before she bought the caravan. Four days after she moved in, the gas alarm went off at 3am. Thankfully it woke her up. The fire brigade said she would have been dead had she not bought the alarm. It was reading a gas level of 4 and climbing due to a boiler installation issue. I can’t rate this product enough.

Stopped working after 3 months use. Also it doesn’t just sound if it detects gas, also if you use any aerosol sprays in your house.

having lot of gas work done here so there has been gas escapes this has not set of the alarm so a little worried good job it was the gas people that where here the instructions are total stupid and too small you need a magnifying glass even with good r4ading glasses to see it so 1 -of 10
