★☆☆☆☆
Did NOT detect Carbon Monoxide
tested this device at exhaust of car & water heater for 10+ minutes...no reading, alarm or response. reset device, repeated tests. Device just sits there, no change from "0", pressing peak button shows "0".
Device should take a reading every 15 seconds & 30 ppm should be lowest it can detect per manual.
Called support, was told I was wrong, device works.
Informed device needs following exposures to record any peak measurements or alarm:
36ppm for 50 consecutive hours!
400ppm for 8 minutes.
Reading is based on a scale, higher the ppm, sooner before it registers a reading.
Hours must be consecutive, so a device turning on and off will no register a low reading.
Customer service hung up on me while I was talking. I was dissatisfied, but not being rude or disrespectful.
This device seems fine for those who are ok being slowly poisoned.
