Gas Alarm Detector-Ourjob, Home Use Propane Butane Methane Gas Monitor, Plug in Combustible LPG/Natural Gas/Coal Gas Leak Sensor, Voice Prompt, Strobe Light Warning, Digital Display(White, No Battery)

My parents are very old and are over 90 yrs old. They often forgot to switch off the cooker and one thing I don’t want worry about is gas/fire safety , that’s why I have it in all the relevant areas protecting my family 24 hours a day .Fantastic product with great features:--plugs directly into a wall outlet so you don’t have to worry about losing power.--the alarm is ear piecing, so it will definitely wake you up in a deep sleep.--A digital display will also give you an easy-to-understand readout of the level of detected gases.I've never had any issues or faults and hand on heart recommend this for peace at home .

Seemed excellent on set up, long lead perfect. But, this has given 2 x false alarms in less than 2 months.1. Not sue why, is it faulty? and 2. How can I switch off alarm and reset.Thanks

I am need liking it for good ideas usefully to Deaf people with co2 alarms flach!

I bought this as a replacement for an existing natural gas alarm (still working but showing signs of scorching on the case) for my elderly mother. I fitted it in the correct position as shown in the instructions (see photo 1), plugged it in and waited for the alarm to "warm up" as per instructions, then tested it by turning a cooker gas tap full on. This alarm DID detect that gas was present by way of the digital display showing a maximum of "3", but there was not a peep out of the alarm, even after 3 minutes - not good, NOT GOOD AT ALL.I ventilated the kitchen and after letting the alarm go through its 3-minute "warm-up" procedure again, repeated the test by holding the alarm over the on (but not lit!) cooker burner and it DID sound out after about 40 seconds.As a further test, I replaced the new alarm where I had put it on the wall, hung the old alarm next to the new one (see photo 2) and repeated the test- gas control full on and unlit. The old alarm sounded off after 70 seconds but the new one didn't sound off (the digital display DID show "3", so it had detected gas).As such, I cannot trust this alarm to do what it is supposed to do- warn my elderly mother that a gas tap may have been left on - maybe this one was faulty. I have returned it-and hopefully this review may warn others to be careful before relying on it - TEST, TEST, TEST before you trust.

Many modern gas hobs have automatic gas shut off when there's no flame. My mum-in-law's doesn't and we came in to her house to a disturbiing smell of gas when she accidentally left hers on. I fitted this as per the instructions, up towards the ceiling and we tested it. After a very short time there was a good loud alarm that could be heard throughout the house. This gives us peace of mind for an aging relative living on her own. Only difficulty might be finding a suitable socket for this but the unit comes with a fairly long lead.

Nice item, but returned as not quite right.

I bought this because my neighbours reported a gas leak which turned out to be a false alarm.I have no sense of smell and 2 children to care for so keeping them safe is my top priority.I feel safe now I have this gas detector in place.I can only assume it will work if there is a gas leak.Quick delivery. Price on point.

I fitted it as instructed but when I turned on the gas hob to check that it was working the smell of gas was quite strong before the alarm activated. This may be because our kitchen ceiling is quite high, approximately 7ft above the worktop. Although the spoken alarm is quite loud when close to it, it isn't really audible at the other end of the house, particularly if doors are closed.
