HMDDJ.: Well you likely should have one if your property, house, home has appliances thet use gas, or propane. I spent $400 having plumbers come check for leaks in my house propane system, but they found nothing. I purchased this detector and within 5 min located the leak that their detector missed! Propane is way too expensive to waste using faulty OLD regulators! Detect them and replace! Be safe!

Complex13: Bought this to help detect gas leaks while doing work on a gas water heater. It was easy to use and worked great. Wife and I had a good laugh when I farted next to it and it detected it and made an audible alert.

M. Gotts: This little meter works great. Used it to pinpoint a tiny natural gas leak at the back of a range, probably since it was installed two years ago. Well worth it. Appears sensitive (picked up natural gas at a level below what my wife and I could smell), has a nice digital readout, simple to operate.

My wife and I would very occasionally smell a trace of gas near the range, but could not pinpoint it. The majority of the time we could smell nothing no matter how hard we tried, and assumed it was associated with the small amount of gas that would escape before the burners lit. I grew suspicious, and bought this meter. Immediately it detected the hotspot was where the range met the wall at the back. I pulled out the range, and the hose and valved looked new and in good shape. Further detective work with the meter narrowed it down to the connection at the valve. I unscrewed the hose and found that the installers didn't use tape or pipe thread compound! Added gas pipe tape, screwed everything back together, and all is good as confirmed by the meter. Nice product!

mike k.mike k.: (see Tips at end)
I purchased this because we smelled gas in the basement, but PSE&G could not detect it with their meter. I calibrated it and it was detecting gas *everywhere* inside. That made me skeptical, so I put it to the stove burner (running but not lit) and it pegged high. I put it outside and it went back to zero. So I felt like it was working.

After checking the whole house, I isolated the highest readings to the gas water heater. I did not see the pilot tube corrosion because it was under the tube not on top. I called PSEG again, another guy shows up and commented the Forensics meter is "too sensitive to be useful".

Well again, his meter didn't pick up anything in the house. I bring him to the water heater and his meter is STILL not getting anything (!). I showed him 2 places I was getting very high readings, the thermostat and the exhaust up top. After like 10 minutes, he visually locates the corroded pilot tube . Long story short it got fixed and now my Forensics meter reads ZERO all around the house including the water heater. Despite my concern it was accurate the whole time.

I have decades of experience with high-end electronic test...

Howie Boyda: The forensic detector failed in less then 2.5 months.
Very disappointed!

John: I had a slight gas leak from an oven which I was trying to locate. There was sometimes a faint smell of gas in the house. I could smell it from the back of the oven but I couldn't determine, using my nose, if it was a lose connection or a sticking valve.

Originally I bought a cheap gas detector from the PANGAEA brand for $25. This had a range of 0 - 10,000 ppm but it's sensitivity was terrible. I zeroed it outside the house but the only gas it would detect was if I switched a burner on.

This Forensics detector is amazing. I zeroed it outside the house again. As soon as I bought it inside the house it registered 70 ppm. It was sensitive enough that I could hold the sensor over the various connections and pin down the leak to the valve going to the oven and not the broiler.

It's 4x the price but it works. The ability to zero the readings, switch the sensitivity between high and low and to switch the buzzer off are useful. It's small and feels good in the hands with the rubber finish.

I wish the display was a bit brighter and I don't like that the battery compartment is held in place by a screw. This isn't going to be used very much so I don't want to...
