Review on πŸ” Dioxide Controller for Digital Gas Monitoring by Roger King

Revainrating 1 out of 5

stopped working after 6 months

Purchased July 2015. Worked well until January of this year (about half a year) and then this happened: The LCD stopped showing the bottom half of each digit (although the display could still be deciphered - barely - with some guesswork), but over the course of the next week the device would spontaneously stop working (hang and stop monitoring) at frequent intervals and could only be revived by a reboot. Now it barely works and only for very short periods of time. Since I need to constantly monitor the air quality around me - and most importantly to alert me when CO2 levels are too high - to have a device that only works intermittently and maybe only 10% of the time. when it's on and its readings are barely distinguishable doesn't help me. Well I may have received an unusual defective unit but if your health depends on having a monitor like this I would definitely think twice because for me $130 was down the drain and a health hazard before I realized it. didn't work. I note that Revain has taken care of the fulfillment (so you no longer have to wait for shipping overseas, I think from China, and this can also lead to better quality control - at least for devices sold by Revain - but on the other hand, I think you're taking a risk (financially, at least), but if it REALLY worked, then it was right.

Pros
  • Accurate 2-channel CO2 measurement with low-drift NDIR, programmable CO2 setpoint and zone value allows you to set the desired CO2 level for different plants.
Cons
  • Other Other
