Antonio P.: Va bene, l'ho provato e testato abbondantemente e fa il suo lavoro. Attenzione alla pulizia e a settarlo bene prima dell'uso.

Patrick: It's cheap feeling and a little finicky but it helped me run down a bad wax ring and hack flange install on a toilet that was leaking sewer gas. I was going to have a smoke test done but quote was over 1k so glad I gave this thing a shot.

Ronald Grater: I bought this gas detector because the LPG sensor in the trailer had been going off in the garage just sitting there idle with all the gas turned off. After receiving this LPG detector, I took the trailer out of the garage and followed the instructions (carefully). I found no leaks anywhere. I tested it opening one of the gas lines to see if it sensed the LPG. The alarm went off and the red light came on. After closing the gas line, this LPG detector stopped sounding the alarm and the red light went off, indicating no gas present. I checked around the trailer where gas fittings exist and found no leaks. So far, this new LPG sensor indicates that possibly my LPG sensor in the trailer is faulty or way too sensitive. I did find some rages in the garage that had fuel on them and possibly the fumes wandered over to the trailer when in the garage and set off the trailer alarm. I would recommend this device. Only used it one time and so far, so good!

Liz CoramLiz Coram: Returnd to more expensive unit that was not working properly and got this one for a third of the price, was impressed that it worked better than the competition. My only complaint is when they say the battery life is 20 minutes to 4 hours it's 20 minutes. Eats up AAA batteries like there's no tomorrow but it works great so totally recommend. Every house should have one of these handy for this price.. 👍

Marcocmc: Had toch ergens een klein gaslek in de meterkast. Had ooit een gasbuis afgekoppeld en een gasdop geplaatst die niet helemaal goed afsloot. Dit apparaat herkende het lek, erg blij mee!

Richard KernRichard Kern: After multiple failures of various detectors installed in my camper, I opted for this portable device with a much needed sensitivity control. Although this is a battery operated portable device, I installed a 5-volt USB power supply where my previous detectors were installed and added a USB power cord to the unit. I adhered the unit to my camper wall with a velcro strip. Now I have the safety monitoring needed for the camper, and if I need to use the unit elsewhere, I simply detach it and install (3) AAA batteries and it's ready to go. The previous sensors were far too sensitive, resulting in annoying false alarms and they had high failure rates. I couldn't even put on after-shave lotion without setting them off -- ridiculous and very annoying! The sensitivity control on this Y201 is terrific, allowing you to stop the false alarms. ANY detector should be tested weekly, but instead of a test button, why not use the real thing -- I test the unit once a week with a BIC lighter. Also, the camper manufacturer installs the detectors at the floor level, where they can pick up dirt and dust, setting off the unit and possibly even clogging the sensor or eventually disabling it. LP gas is...

Phil Taylor: Given the fact that there are many to choose from, I didn't have much concern about it not operating as advertised. However, I didn't have an immediate need as I decided to have an experienced natural gas installer finish off my new range installation. I did my first ever DIY job on about 18 feet of black pipe for a gas line that had 6 or 7 90-degree turns from the basement to the kitchen. (I have been installing various types of plumbing for many years, never gas.) When the professional came he saw all my work and made the final installation. When he ran the leak test the traditional way; soapy water solution, none of my work, and none of his were leaking. He said he doesn't trust those gas testers and said even if you breathe on them they can set off a false alarm. I tried it, and he was correct. But I had faith it would work. A few days later I decided to make some changes in the kitchen for a better fit of my gas range. After all of it was completed I set the gas tester per the instructions, testing it first with a lighter than using the gas from my range and it worked fine. I followed that up with soapy water and the results were the same, no leaks. Natural gas is something...
