Summary: 5 Stars
After my wife almost died from CO poisoning, I bought 2 of these. Perfect for keeping tabs on our generator and combustion gasses from our propane fridge, stove, water heater and dryer, and to let us know if there has been a propane leak. 8 months, and no false positives or problems.Customer Review: Cat Urine?
Summary: 4 Stars
I cannot vouch for the effectiveness of this item in detecting explosive gasses, however, it does seem quite capable of detecting cat urine. We had mounted ours about three or four feet above a litter box and if our did not cover after peeing in the box, the explosive gas alarm would go off. Simply relocating the detector to another outlet in the room solved that problem but we thought it was interesting nonetheless.Customer Review: Concerns

I returned this item unopened. Unfortunately I read reviews of this item after I ordered it. Many reviews stated that the gas part of this unit went off regularly incorrectly. I was going to live with false alarms. By law all explosive gas must have a detectable odor additive when delivered to a home and my wife has a wonderful nose.Customer Review: Constant False Alarms
Summary: 1 Stars
We've had this combo unit for about a year and about every month it goes off with the "explosive gas" alarm (for methane and propane, neither of which is present in our house).
It's a very loud and piercing alarm, but it will not turn off even though we hit the reset button - we have to unplug it from the wall and take out the 9 volt battery to stop the alarm. We would let ours sit for a few minutes, then re-plug it in outside - the alarm would still go off on 'explosive gas'. Yikes - it's like a cry-wolf alarm - we'll never know when to trust it.
