Y401 Natural Propane Gas Detector, Home Gas Alarm and Monitor, Leak Alarm for LNG, LPG, Methane, Coal Gas Detection in Kitchen, Home, Camper (1, Black)

I was cooking dinner and a friend came over and said she could smell gas. I don’t have a keen sense of smell and I could not smell anything. After checking the gas burners the flame on one had stopped working but the gas was still on. I went on line and ordered my gas detector to be delivered the following day. So happy I can feel safer in my home now.

Very simple product that saves lives. Used in my elderly mother's apartment, it reminds her if the gas is still on in the cooker. Nice product, delivered within 24 hours, easy to install and use, just plug it in.

Have been using for several days and it seems to be working fine. I installed in my garage near my gas tankless water heater. At this point my only negative comment would be once it is plugged into the outlet you cannot use the second receptacle.

And the alarm still didnt go off when my husband left and unlit burner on. We live in a large home and my bedroom is at the opposite end of the house. I was in my room feeling sick and getting a headache and smelled it because I was dizzy and took a deep breath. How does gas get to the other end of a 5,000 sqft home and I can smell it but the alarm right next to the stove didn't go off? I even blogged about this being a good idea and was so happy to of found this product because my husband keeps leaving the burner running accidentally. Insanely deficient.

I bought this detector last year September 2023 after the gas department was changing out our meter and discovered a small hole in the connector to our new oven (October 2023) was giving off a tiny gas leak that we wasn’t aware of nor any smell. Scary to think we were using our stove and oven this whole time. So I got this for safety. Well as of January 26th, 2024 this detector went off with a reading of #4. We called gas company emergency services and they came out right away. To make long story short they found no gas leak. However we sprayed a lot of Lysol in our tiny space of room and that set it off from the chemicals in the Lysol. Crazy to think we are breathing that stuff in our lungs. Gas company tested the Lysol and sprayed it in the air. Their detector reading jumped to #8 that’s high. So safe to say this monitor works and alarm was loud. I could hear it from 3 floors of my house. It happened in our basement. We have a full kitchen in there. So glad this monitor works and so far it’s lasting long. Good to know it picked up a chemical smell. Will update if any future issues. Definitely buying another for our 2 nd floor kitchen.

sense quick the smell of gas

Final update...I've been using the firmware updated replacement a few months now. It works really well.There was only one instance where I unplugged it to adjust to a significant and fast environment change. It reset and all is good!....,...........They gave a full refund and shipped an updated new replacement!There has been a software update to make it not react to rapid temperature and humidity changes. The replacement has been working perfectly now.The seller responded that the issue is due to temperature and humidity changes which cause the reading to "drift". They have updated the software for this gas detector. They sent an updated model to try. They also gave a full refund without my asking..................Problem Solved!The Techamor y401 gave us false readings every day. The problems began when it was only a few weeks old, I ordered it in January. It read a constant 1-3, on occasion and it went up to 4-5 and triggered the alarm! It would sometimes read a 0, but only on occasion. I moved it to many different locations indoors and out, and had the same result. It was so erratic that I couldn't trust it. I unplugged it and ordered a real Gas leak detector like plumbers use in order to verify what was happening.The new gas detector is handheld and extremely sensitive, detecting as little as 50 parts per million! I took the new gas detector around the house, to every gas appliance (and every drain opening in case methane was coming up through the plumbing). I did this repeatedly over a period of days and it never detected a gas leak!!I tested the hand held gas detector with both propane and natural gas. It reacted correctly and once the alarm sounded and I turned off the gas, the meter showed lowering gas levels until it returned to it's baseline. I detected both gases before I could smell them! It never once provided a false reading. But it's not practical for 24/7 monitoring.Then I plugged the Techamor y401 back in, and compared it to the professional gas detector. The Techamor again showed gas when there was none. It's junk. Had I trusted the Techamor and called the fire department when the alarm sounded, it would have been embarrassing, and scared my condo neighbors! And wasted the Fire Department's resources.Without an accurate and sensitive device to compare, I question so many reviews that say it's accurate! How do so many reviewers have a way of knowing. Yes, it did sound the alarm when I tested it with propane and natural gas. However, it went off several times when there was zero gas in the air. It went off when we used the toaster oven! And when I was washing dishes! How can you trust it to do one thing when it doesn't do the other correctly?I prefer a plug in detector that provides a constant readout in order to detect when a gas burner is inadvertently bumped on! Now, I don't know what to trust! I don't know if this is typical for the Techamor y401, or if it's defective.

It works. Easy to understand

I like the size of the unit and the size of the reading so can easily see what reading is.

Vela la pena por el precio, sin duda puede salvar vidas tener un producto asi en casa.

コンセントに直接取り付けるだけでキャリブレーションがスタートし数分で通常モードになりました。ライターでテストしブザーの音も確認できました。耐久性はこれから・・・

When the detector is plugged in the upper receptacle is not usable, terrible design flaw.
