So here's the deal: the unit is nice and seems to be calibrated relatively well. The literature that comes with it says it has +/- 10% error window. This perhaps seems extreme, but we have to remember this is a consumer unit and the professional models are an order of magnitude more expensive. For my part, I'm satisfied with the accuracy because the readings I'm getting are almost identical to those of a professional home inspection company.
The alarm does function well; ours has gone off at least twice in the last week (we are seeking remediation) and I've been able to hear it upstairs although it doesn't strike me as obnoxiously loud as a fire alarm. But you do still hear it.
Now my MAJOR quibble with this unit: it will chart all the data points and show you your history and median and peak values. Great. But it does not chart this data relative to TIME. In other words, you can export 200 readings and they will just be 1, 2, 3, 4,...200 etc. The radon in my home cycles. There's a peak and trough every day and the pattern repeats itself daily. What time of day did it peak 4.71 and again a day later 4.2? I have NO IDEA. I just see a peak, but I don't know the date or the time. This strikes me as unbelievably dumb, for a unit that is bluetooth connected, has a color screen, and can communicate with an app on my phone. You mean to tell me it can't also log the date/time of each reading? a couple bytes of text data? You've got to be freaking kidding me.
I've sent a message to the developers and I realllly hope they update the firmware/app to accommodate this function. It is such a glaring omission I cannot believe it made it to market without it. I would send it back for this reason alone if it weren't for the fact that a.) it seems to be giving me accurate readings and b.) it's a bit of hassle for me to ship it back at this point and c.)similar units with fancier apps have a fair number of bad reviews with people complaining they are not accurate. I'm still peeved though.
