Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert RD1 Radon Gas Test Kit

Customer Review: Happy with results
Summary: 3 Stars

My results were excellent and I am happy. However I had to look them up to find why my results didn't arrive in a timely maner. Then I corrected my mistake but they should have sent me an eMail. Everything worked out but I didn't get good customer service.

Customer Review: Not a precision kit
Summary: 3 Stars

I ordered two kits at the same time. The results for the first one came back from the lab about 3 weeks after I sent it. My basement measured 8.2 pCi/L. The second one came back at 5.5 pCi/L it also took three weeks. I had my house treated based on these results and the company I hired tested with their professional meter at 0.5 pCi/L after the service was complete. I will buy another one of these kits to see how well it tested after the treatment and how it compares to the two initial tests I did. There was a decent about of variability between the 8.2 and 5.5 readings.....would recommend doing at least two.

Customer Review: worked well, results available online
Summary: 4 Stars

This worked well, as the reading I got compared almost exactly to the reading obtained on a more expensive electronic radon meter. The radon specialist who came out to the house to talk about reduction methods accepted the First Alert results as fact. Good for a first test of suspected radon.

Customer Review: Lab Fee IS included in purchase
Summary: 5 Stars

I have used this brand before and have been pleased. The Pro-Lab brand are a few bucks less, but you have to pay an additional $15 for each kit to obtain lab results. The only additional fee on First Alert is for postage, which amounts to 2 to 4 stamps each, depending on which instructions you follow. You can let the Post Office tell you, or weigh the envelope yourself, but I only put two stamps on and had no problem.
