Ecosense EB100 EcoBlu, Home Radon Detector, Capture & Display Results Every 10 Minutes, Short & Long-Term Continuous Monitoring, Easy to Use

I recently used the Ecosense Radon Monitor in my home, which is in an area known for high Radon levels. I didn’t fully read the instructions, but I hooked it up to a power bank and tested the basement (where Radon tends to build up).To my unfortunate surprise, the levels were extremely high (20ish). Thanks to the quick and accurate results, I knew I had to take action immediately and ended up installing a Radon mitigation system to keep my family safe.I’m going to keep an eye on the levels regularly since they can change with the seasons and in different parts of the house. The Ecosense monitor was super easy to use and gave me the info I needed right away. If you’re worried about Radon, I highly recommend this monitor for peace of mind and safety!!

I used this monitor during a tour of a new house I was considering buying. Our area is notorious for Radon gas with a home 15 minutes away needing Mitigation to redirect the gas away from the house. Since the monitor arrived in time before the Real Estate tour but not in enough time for me to read the instructions, I still took the monitor with me along with a power bank ( in case the home for sale had it's electricity shut off ) and hoped for the best. As soon as I arrived in the house I told the Realtor I was going to take a noninvasive Radon test in the basement. I unboxed the ecosense - went downstairs and simply pluged the provided cord into my power bank then set my cell phone timer for 10 minutes and starting the tour outside to be considerate of my Realtors time.10 minutes goes by quick when touring a home for sale and since the main function for which I needed the test was an initial reading to understand if I needed further action in case I made an offer on the house and even though I had no time to read about the multiple features of this unit, the ecosense delivered!I had enough time for 3 readings! Between outside and indoor touring, I got 2 different readings of separate basement areas both of which were within safe levels of Radon and even had time for a reading upstairs in the kitchen also within normal limits but a bit higher # ( maybe because the gas can enter thru well water and out the faucets (?). When I got home, I checked my own house levels for Radon & Thank G-d they were also within normal levels but I will keep monitoring as levels change for various reasons and seasons and different areas of the home. Having a Radon monitor makes as much sense to me as having a carbon monoxide monitor in the home since you never know when either will reach dangerous levels. This unit has a danger alarm as well! My Dad died of Lung Cancer. I wish this was available in his day, I would have checked my parents home and suggest Radon Mitigation or sleeping in a better area of the home. So give yourself the gift of Peace of Mind and get this monitor. I recommend the ecosense Radon Monitor for ease of use, initial fast results, small footprint and functionality.

This device is very easy to use, just plug-in and start to read the radon data in 10 mins. It seems very accurate, and the number keep updating every 10 mins. You can easily switch different modes to see daily, weekly, monthly, etc. No learning curve at all. It's like a plug-and-play, and so small and cute design. I really like its easy-to-use design, reliable and accurate. I feel like this is saving my life, I was able to check multiple places at my home, and identify some troublesome area, i probably didn't have any idea without this device. I'm now considering to find radon professional for the next step. What a relief understanding your home radon issues. Since it's very quick to get a result and easy to use, you can test multiple locations very quickly. One thing I realized the radon level keep changing during the day, especially the early morning is really high in radon, seems it keeps changing depending on the season too. I'll keep monitoring my radon status at home, and update more. The alarm feature is very good, easily notify when the radon level is high, you can also config the alarm setting easily. Really great device if you are interest in radon monitoring.

The user manual talks about placing the unit away from Wifi, hotspots, etc. due to the possible effects of (radiofrequency) electromagnetic interference. What they fail to mention in the manual, however, is that the device is extremely sensitive to power line noise, as well. Power line noise (aka, "dirty electricity") usually falls in the ULF, VLF, and LF bands. It is very common and due to many causes such as inductive loads (motors), switching power supplies (common in computers, UPS backup, and consumer electronics), AC-DC adapters ("wall warts", plug-in USB chargers), fluorescent lighting, etc.I was originally getting readings rising as high as 15 pCi/L, even in upper floor areas that did not make sense to me. On a whim, I decided to install a large (0.5" inner diameter) broadband ferrite on the USB power cord (close to the unit). I looped the power cable around the ferrite core 5 times for added effectiveness. I then redid the readings in all the same spots and they dropped to 1.5 to 2.5 pCi/L immediately. It's a shame the manufacturer did not include a ferrite bead on the USB power cable. They've used a very cheap AC-DC adapter for charging over a USB cord and apparently it creates a large amount of noise (although some noise may also be coming from my environment).After adding the large ferrite core, now my unit works consistently, reliably, and is outputting values that make sense (higher in the basement, lower upstairs). I imagine that many of the negative reviews complaining about wildly high values were due to this very same issue. I hope the manufacturer takes note.

Hochwertiger Eindruck, tolles klares Display.Mist alle 10min den aktuellen Radon gehalt und man sieht sofort, ob Maßnahmen wie Lüften etc. helfen.Tages, Wochen, Monats und Jahresdurchschnitt.

Sold on UK site, says there’s a plug. No plug in the box. Very very disappointed and waste of time/money.

I bought one of these monitors and liked it so much that I bought two more for ongoing radon testing in my house. Within ten minutes, I get a radon level record, so I am able to take action when the radon level starts to climb. My basement has a hard packed base below the foundation, so the normal subfloor radon mitigation method doesn't work for me. So I have installed individual room heat recovery units in several rooms and monitor their performance with my ecoblu monitors. They give me some peace of mind knowing that I am able to deal with such a dangerous situation.
