You Should Buy This Unless You Want to Die of Radon Gas:
I have no intention of dying of radon gas, so I bought ye olde safety siren pro 2 and let me tell ya, suckas, I have not died at all yet. Here's what I don't like about radon gas: everything. I've named my detector. Yeah, I know it's queer, but it's so impersonal sitting there at the foot of my basement that I thought I should begin treating it like a member of the family. So I call it Cliff. Every morning after a responsible breakfast (and an irresponsible ingestion of PCP) I run downstairs, kiss Cliff full on the sensors and say, "thank you for keeping my lungs from being filled with gas for one more day on this godforsaken planet, you crazy son of a gun." Then, instead of going to work, I hide down there. And I wait. Cliff is the best thing that's ever happened to me and every day I appreciate him more and more. I'm going to feel even more secure once I get some batteries up in his lil' area.

Works As Advertised:
Very straightforward to use: Just plug it in and wait for results. The short term read-outs do not appear for 48 hours, exactly as specified in the manual. Great way to monitor your basement or living area to make sure radon levels are not exceeding the recommended 4 pci/l limit.

Now I know I'm Safe from Radon:
I live in an area that is at "medium" risk for Radon. Since we live in a berm home, I was always worried that Radon could be a problem for my family. I bought this within 48 hours it assured me that our home was safe from Radon gas. It worked just like the manual said it would, after I finally found a place for it. :) The manual instructions list 4 or 5 requirements for where to place it. Not to be place in laundry rooms, kitchens, near an exterior wall, on the floor, etc.

Great Item:
The item was shipped in 2 days and it performed exactly as described. It's great because it can be used in any room in the house and you get results within 48 hours at each location. This product could be improved by showing results to the nearest tenth of a whole number rather than rounding the result down to the nearest whole number. Overall, great item.
