Akragas: Mi piace la sensibilità... Un po' ferragunosa da programmare.. Mancano i gradi Celsius...

Dave david: I bought this because of the price and because it's supposed to be accurate. I'm a plumber I use it professionally. I checked it to south jersey gas sniffer. It reads the exact same numbers. And works as it should. It takes 1 minute to warm up. It goes through a test mode then it's ready to use. I found the smallest leaks with this tool. It works as it should.

Mirel zaldoiu: Non e cosi tanto buono. Speravo che fosse piu sensibile. Funzionale pero si fa fatica.

Jennifer C: Works great, sensor is well calibrated and located the site of a fairly small leak. Unlike some other devices, this shows you measurements of ppm, not just % in the air. You can have leaking gas below 1%, this tells you exactly how much unlike cheaper detectors.

Michael Somar: First unit I received didn't seem to be working correctly. Reached out to Forensics to understand if I was using the unit incorrectly (the manual is translated from another language and isn't always clear). Turns out the first unit was defective. Forensics quickly sent me a replacement unit. Tested out the second unit and it worked as expected. Natural gas, butane, methane... within a second of being around these gases I had the new unit beeping/vibrating/lighting up.
And despite the manual being what it is, after 10 minutes of playing with the 3 button interface, it was simple enough to figure out. All-in-all the unit does exactly what I bought it for. And kudos to Sarah at Forensics for her outstanding customer service.

Amazon Customer: The most incomplete and poorly written Operation Manual I have ever seen.
It does not mention detection of propane, butane, H2, NH3 & alkanes as advertised on Amazon. How can a professional work with a gas detector and not know what gases are being monitored?
Other examples of my disappointment: Reference Page 5, description of the “clear” and “save” functions makes no sense. Reference page 7, “method 1” description makes no sense. There is no explanation of how the external pump interface works or how to use it. That is not all, the more I tried to use the Operation Manual the more of this type of thing kept piling up.
I tried to call Forensic’s customer service but there is no phone number in the Operator Manual even in the section titled Customer Support. I tried online to get an improved Owners Manual or other help but Forensic’s web site was not helpful.
I returned the unit --- I will not waste more of my time working with such an extremely poor Operation Manual.

T: This would not detect ammonia and that I know is in the air. Perhaps, this reader is not sensitive enough, as is the case with many of these non-expert instruments.
