4 out of 5 stars Higher Mailing Costs For Analysis   February 21, 2008
 4 out of 6 found this review helpful

The instructions say two first class US postage stamps affixed to the envelope provided will cover the cost to send your sample for analysis. I did this. To be safe, I went in and double checked at the US Post office before dropping it in the box. I was told I had to pay $.48 additional to the two $ .41 first class stamps for a total of $1.30. The postal lady explained their rules had changed in that this item is now considered something different than a regular letter, hence their postal rates are different, higher of course.


3 out of 5 stars The results didn't arrive and had to call several times until a copy was delivered, but eventually got it.   January 18, 2008

The results were not delivered as promised, but after several calls they sent them. The people on the phone are polite, but they will not return the calls proactively. A little chasing was needed.

The results were eventually sent by email, which was convenient.



5 out of 5 stars FYI   September 17, 2007

Be aware that you need to put the test in the middle of the room and leave it for 2-3 days (not easy when you have toddlers). Also, it only covers that area, so you may need more than one test.


5 out of 5 stars Great kit - other guy is an idiot   February 5, 2005
 58 out of 59 found this review helpful

Here's a clue for the other reviewer: if you need to do 2 tests then you need to buy 2 kits.

Here's another clue: if you need a timely response then check before you buy. If your realtor can't help you - get a new realtor!

This kit is easy to use, simple instructions, and accurate results. The main point that I appreciate is that they don't try to nail you with extra lab costs after purchase like some other kits I've seen.



1 out of 5 stars better packaging may save my time in the future   March 6, 2000
 34 out of 105 found this review helpful

The reason I purchased the First Alert RD1 Radon Detector was because I was trying to sell my house and needed to show that I had done testing. When I received the kit- I found that in order to do a real estate transaction you must do 2 tests. I wasn't aware of this until I opened the packaging. WHich upset me that I had to go back and purchase another one. Also I didnt realize that it was going to take me 21 days to get my test results in. I felt as though that was an over extended time, considering real estate deals can be done within a week.
