Review on ๐Ÿ” High Sensitivity Gas Leak Detector: Digital Alarm Monitor Sensor for Natural Gas, LPG, LNG, and Coal by Brandon Carraway

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Everything seems fine. But. Where to mount?

I just moved into a house with gas heating and water heaters and my lungs are pretty sensitive so I want to avoid exhaust fumes. It's a useful device, but the installation instructions seem cryptic to me. The instructions state that natural gas must be mounted under the ceiling. (Set it low for propane because propane is heavier.) So, here's the deal: It's a plug-in device. None of my outlets are under the ceiling. The only ones that aren't near the floor are under the kitchen cabinets, and since I don't have a gas stove, fumes aren't likely to collect there. I suppose I can run an extension cord, but it's usually not ideal for signaling, and it'll look ridiculous too. I assume that the handyman will help me if I need to hire him for something else at the same time. The instructions seem to be quite detailed although there are many do's and don'ts e.g. B. not to spray aerosols near the alarm. The packaging says Made in Shenzhen, China. The specifications on the box state that the operator's temperature is in the range "-10 +50" but not in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. I photographed the box from the side because I'm going to throw it away and just leave the instructions with my manual collection. The picture shows several foreign-made forks, but they are not included in the box. My device came with the plug that we use in my country. When plugged in, the alarm clock shows a large glowing zero on a bright red background, which is a bit annoying, so this should be taken into account when placing it. Overall, I think this is a worthwhile security device.

Pros
  • Safety
Cons
  • Not everything fits
