Hope for the best this time.

The first one I bought gave a false alarm (gas) after 3 years. I was forced to decommission it before the end of the 5 year lifespan. I'll buy this again because there are few options on the market (and it fits an existing hole). We live in this non-smoking van all the time, so the operating conditions were perfect for 365 days. Hope for better service this time.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine

DO NOT BUY - OLD: The date of manufacture of the device is 08/19/2019!

I bought this for my new caravan and received it on 3/8/2021. Imagine my dismay to discover that this device was already 18 months old when I opened it. That! These CO monitors are good for ONLY FIVE YEARS. So I actually only get 3.5 years out of this thing! If the trailer hadn't already expired I would have sent it back to Revane!

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

BEWARE. WRONG SIZES are advertised for this item.

BEWARE. WRONG SIZES are advertised for this item! I purchased this item (and paid extra) because the advertised dimensions matched exactly the old carbon monoxide/propane detector in my RV, so I was hoping to easily replace my old unit with this one. NOT RIGHT. This item is SMALLER than the original, so it was too small for the existing hole. x 2.75 x 1.5 inches

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Let's say it takes 5 years, not a year!

Money out the window! The device didn't even last a year! After a year of installation, an alarm went off indicating a device malfunction. We checked again and it still goes out and indicates a device fault. The device should last five years. The device is September 2015, I bought it in February 2016 and the alarm went off at the end of 2016. We checked again and it's still defective. Save your money! Very disappointed with this device.

Pros
  • Annual trial period
Cons
  • Communication with seller

If it breaks sooner then

Buyers beware, although the packaging advises you to replace after FIVE years, if it breaks sooner they tell you the warranty is only ONE year! Our initial RV lasted about two years, then random alarms for no reason. Always in the middle of the night! I ended up taking it off and ordering another, then called and expected it to be replaced. nope! It passed a one year warranty (not advertised). However, I feel better with it in my van than without it and this brand is exactly what we have it…

Pros
  • Easy set up
Cons
  • Quality

Quickly falls out in the Safety category

Fairly easy to install, needs a couple of wire nuts for not bothering to include them. But like others have said, it breaks down pretty quickly. Purchased May 2019 with production date February 20th 2019. It is November 2021 and it will flash and beep when service is over. Warranty sucks. No Answer. Revain has a fully comparable version from another manufacturer (PANGEA Digital Propane Detector for Caravans with Loud Alarm 85dB, 12VDC, Trailer, Motorhome, Bus (Flush – Black)). Check the What…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Clarity

I bought this detector to replace my old instrument that was starting to fail. Now, less than a year after purchase and installation, this new unit is beeping and flashing red and green - a malfunction according to the description. It is necessary to turn off the block so that we can sleep and finish our hike. Now I'm having trouble contacting MTI Industries. I used "Contact Us" on their website, emailed twice and called customer service during business hours but got no response and left a…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • There is nothing here

pre-programmed to stop working 5 years from date of manufacture

This is the biggest scam. These things don't last forever, but this company has committed to programming a product expiration date. The instructions say it's best to replace it after five years of *use*, but the device will stop working five years after the date of manufacture. Take one that's been on the shelf for a year (like me) and it only lasts four years before it starts squeaking evilly. You can delay the beep for 72 hours in the first month. After a month there is no other way to close…

Pros
  • tools and housewares
Cons
  • slightly dented

Bought a used caravan and found there was no light on an old LP defector. Invested a little more and found it completely disconnected/cut wires. It was old, probably original, so I ordered this one. He stood right where the old block was, a little later he quickly crimped the connectors and that was it. Tested with butane, propane and a blown match, worked every time I tested it. For example, this is an LP/CO detector, but I don't know how well it works with CO since it's on the bottom for LP…

Pros
  • Carbon Monoxide Detector
Cons
  • High Price

The device (MTI 35-742 Safe T Alert) is good when it works, but over its lifetime it can be quite expensive to replace every 6 months or so. (Before reading further check out others who have had similar issues with this model) Purchased from Revain on 10th September 2018, installed 5th November 2018 as the trailer was in storage and not used during those months. Easy exchange of 2 screws and 2 wires white and black. On February 2, 2019, when the trailer was pulled out for the third time, the…

Pros
  • Security & Protection
Cons
  • Out of fashion
