Its lightweight and as small, comparable to a teabox. You don't have to do anything much, just setup the legs and plug it in. It takes about 10 min to see the first reading. The reading does vary by hour and even by location. The closer I set it to my basement level, the higher the level I saw. When it hits a level of 4.0, it will beep for a little bit and show a red line over the number. It will not continously beep because thst would just be annoying. Thank goodness. I don't place it near moving air such as outside walls, vents, or windows. I set it on a table 2ft off the ground and near the indoor wall. It's also recommended you keep this away from. Electromagnetic frequency emitting devices such as your wifi router, or microwave to name a few. The device just let's us know when we need to crack a window open to preven hitting anything higher than a 4.0. Since we got the device, we have just implemented a habit of cracking a window open in the afternoon on the side of the house facing the sun. We open the window on the lowest level since radon sinks the the ground. Thankfully our garage is on the same level, so occasionally I will leave the garage open with fan running on the floor to speed things up. What's great is that you do see the number go down on the device after 30 min to an hour. There was a time it just kept going up even with the garage open. I can only assume the levels would have rose higher had I not had the garage open. Winter is coming so this will be definitely be handy in keeping us safe and help us determine if we need a mitigation system in place.

When I first moved in my house, I had a company perform a radon test during inspection, typically these tests are performed in the garage or lower section of the house because it's where the radon levels are the higher, but I always wondered if the day by day level in the house were safe. Now I can easily keep track of radon level, in my living space, both real time or with a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly average. It seems to be fairly accurate, since the level changes every time I ventilate the space. Several times the level was over 2pCi/L, which is the first threshold for safety. The levels fluctuate daily and are easily influenced by the wheatear/atmospheric pressure, but I can easily keep track of everything with this detector and eventually decide if I need to install any mitigation system. This could really turn out to be a life saver! Don’t think twice and buy it, it’s well worth yours and your family’s safety!

Picked this Radon Detector up to keep an eye on the levels in my basement. When I purchased my house a year ago we needed to install a radon mitigation system because of the high levels. Now I will be able to keep an eye on the levels and make sure the mitigation system is doing its job. I set mine to display a 24 hr. average.

I have used other types of radon tests in the past, including the mail in devices, but the accuracy of this electronic model, and the ease of use can't be beat! It's literally as simple as plugging it in with the included power cable, and just leave it alone. Gives a reading as fast as 10 minutes, and then it gets more accurate the longer you leave it in place! I LOVE this thing, and there's no waiting for extended periods of time and then waiting to mail off units for measurement by labs...none of that hassle! This is a great item for providing your family with peace of mind for your safety from radon! Highly recommended!

This radon detector and monitor seems to be working for us here in Arizona. We have the monitor at the recommended height in our hallway just outside our three bedrooms. It's summer now and the real-time measurement fluctuates through the day from .5 to 1.7 spikes a couple times. I believe that is okay from what I have gathered so far about the radon gas released from uranium within Earth. I'm still trying to learn how to understand the measurements and used a normal levels guide from an Arizona Geological website. It's still over 100° here and we cannot open our windows until October evenings. Personally I would prefer no radon gas and it makes me uneasy because I can't smell it or taste it to avoid it like I can with other dangerous vapors. This is why I like having the monitor and it helps ease my thoughts a little bit since the readings are 'normal' levels. I am anxious for the cooler weather and more ventilation so I can see the lower radon levels from the monitor readings. I hope they're lower because the readings over 1.0 right now start to make me think I should possibly invest in some radon mitigation methods 5 stars from me. Hope this helps. Thanks.

I like the comfort of knowing how much radon is in my home. When I first plugged it in I had the screen with the lines on it I didn't time it but approximately 15 minutes I had a reading and it continuously reads throughout the day levels change constantly. It is supposed to have an alarm on it that goes off if the radon is too high. Hopefully I'll never find out if that works. It seems to be a whole lot better than the old radon test kits that would take days and then you'd have to send them in to be evaluated

First, the refresh rate of the LCD seems to make the picture flicker, but in person it looks great. I just wanted to show that yes I am using this. If you are looking at this you probably either want to monitor your radon levels because you have a problem, or you have a mitigation system that you want to make sure continues to work properly. This is great for that. It adds peace of mind to know that things are ok, or it shows you if there is a problem. It is not a connected device so it won't send you alerts etc, but radon is one of those things I only care about if we are in the area so that was fine with me. I also hate how everything is connected these days sending data to a cloud somewhere, so again I like that about this device. I'm looking forward to watching this over time so I can see how it drifts with our habits (windows open vs closed etc). It will also be nice to know if there is an issue so we can work on mitigation if needed.

This is a decent radon monitor. Just plug it in and start getting readings within minutes. The reading stabilizes over time but the early readings are close enough to get a general idea if radon levels are safe. Shows long and short term readings. The only problem with it is if the power goes out or you unplug it, you start over. Wish it had battery backup or a battery option. The readings were similar to my other brand of detector and a mail-in test I did so it seems fairly accurate.

My son recently bought a house and had a radon removal system installed. While I don’t even remember our house being tested for radon for decades. I did my research and picked the most easier device out there, I’m not too good with technology. Indeed, its the easiest radon detector ever, the only thing I had to think about is where to plug it in. Other than that, the display is big and numbers are easy to read. I keep our reading on “weekly average” and curious to see the “monthly”. Definitely recommend it, - you’ll have peace of mind, cause no radon in your home.

I live in an area where radon issues are common. A (nonsmoking!) friend died of lung cancer and radon was the probable cause. So it is something we should all take seriously. The building code here requires radon mitigation in all new houses, and mine is new enough to have it. But I wanted to check whether it is working, so I got this Ecosense EB1000 Ecoblu to test it. Set it up in my basement and the numbers are high, between 5 and 6! Yikes! I read the review from Brian B, who says it reads inaccurately high. So I tested this myself by moving the Ecoblu outside. I left it outside for four days and never saw it read above 0.3. Brought it back inside and it quickly shot back up over 5. Based on my comparison, outside to in, I do NOT think it reads inaccurately high. I think I have an issue here. My existing radon mitigation is a passive system, just a pipe from the sump crock out through the roof. The next step here is to add a fan. I have the radon mitigation people coming out to do that in a couple weeks. I will have them do a professional test as well, just to confirm these numbers. I will update this review to report how it turns out, but it’s going to take a while to find out. All my friends want to borrow it now. I am encouraging them to get their own! Edited Nov 17 2022: I promised to update this review to let folks know how this turned out. It took a couple weeks to get the radon mitigation company out here. During this time we saw numbers as high as 14 on our Ecoblu. Yikes! When the pros finally got here, they could not upgrade our system with a fan, due to how the pipe was routed. They wanted us to get someone else to come out and reroute the pipe, first. They also diagnosed another issue with our passive system. The radon pipe comes out of the sump, which is supposed to be otherwise sealed. But we also had several vented pipes going into that same sump crock, which were allowing radon to seep in. Ultimately, my husband did the fix himself. He rerouted the radon pipe, added the fan, and changed the other pipes to not vent through the sump. Within a few hours of these changes, our Ecoblu reading had dropped below 1 picocurie. It’s been several days now and it continues to hover between 0.5 and 0.9. I am so relieved!

Seems to be almost perfectly accurate, I plugged this in next to one of a different brand and they were +/- 1% of each other. I really like the day and week feature of this where it basically tells you the average for the day or week instead of real-time readings, that way you don’t have to be constantly paying attention to it. The unit itself also looks really nice, it’s something I don’t mind leaving out in the open.

Just plug in to start testing! Such a comfort to know what radon levels are in your home. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. This is a must have for households!

After a family member decided to do a radon test and found they had higher than recommended levels, I thought it would be a good idea to test our home. Radon is an odorless, colorless gas which can seep from the ground into your house and you'd never know it was there. But, it reportedly is the second leading cause of cancer. So, it's worthwhile to check and not crazy money to fix. This unit couldn't be more simple to operate. Unbox it, plug in the included USB-C cord to the detector unit and the included adapter, plug that into a standard outlet, and then wait for the number. First reading is in 10 minutes but I found the reading went up for about an hour then seemed to stabilize. At the end of the first day it was around 4.0, the following day about 3.75. General suggestions are to fix anything over 4.0 and consider fixing anything between 2.0 and 4.0. But, Radon can go up and down so next step will be to use the weekly average function, which should give a more meaningful reading. Most local health departments can provide advice on how to do a reading using a kit and sending it to a certified lab if you desire a "second opinion." But, this detector gives you a good starting place, or can be your final word if you wish. Your health department can also likely recommend a good company to mitigate your radon levels, which usually involves a combination of sealing and ventilation. If you are worried about it in the mean time, you can usually reduce radon levels by cracking open windows to provide fresh air and increase ventilation. One of the additional benefits of having your own meter vs. just doing a one-time test kit, if you open windows or pay for a company to do mitigation, your meter will verify the effectiveness of either method. Good detector. Five Stars.

I don't have another meter to test this one with, but this one seems to work pretty well and the digital readout is nice looking and easy to read. It looks pretty cute and could definitely be set out without messing up your interior design

This was a breeze to setup and included all the necessary information for proper placement. Seeing the various time period averages is extremely easy as there are only two buttons (m changes the time period). I am doing a lab-grade one next to it to compare the values and will speak to that once completed.
