Failed when I needed it most

So I had a gas leak. My basement smelled of gas. The gas company arrived, located the leak in the copper pipe, and turned off the chimney tap. I decided that I would also buy a detector and bought this one. It arrived and I tested the copper tubing by opening the valve. Of course it beeped and showed a high range on the LCD. Shut down the unit and called a plumber to fix the leak. The plumber came with soap a week later but couldn't see the leak. I told him I have this gas analyzer. I turned it on, waited for it to warm up, and started checking for a leak. Nothing. zero displayed. Surprised, I went to the stove, turned on the gas and to my surprise - a big fat zero. As if this detector once worked and died. This is the most dangerous because it can give you the wrong impression that there is no leak.

Pros

Cons
