Just get a plug in one that’s always on. This is the one you want. They used to be the only company that made such a thing; since I bought mine (a 3rd gen) a bunch of years ago, the nonsense companies have also started making them.

That’s a lot more expensive…

3 mail in one’s were I think $110 plus the cost to mail it to California. And you don’t have to buy 3

That’s about $285 CAD after conversion, shipping and duties, and that’s on sale.

Worth it for me. I spend more time in this basement office than anywhere else, by a longshot. I don’t have to wonder. I don’t have to wait while results from a test kit get back. I don’t have to worry about “Eh, I’ll get another test kit … later.” This is how I knew I needed to replace my first active radon fan with a new one: the alarm went off. The detector I have has been clicking along for many years; I have definitely saved money and worry in the long term.
