Customer Review: Worth considering
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're interested in a radon monitor, I'd give this one a close look. Radon detection does not seem to be an exact science, so I'm not sure any test is 100% reliable.
The Safety Siren Pro 3 is very sensitive to things like stereos and fluorescent lighting, and you don't want it near doors and heating registers, which really narrows down the spots to put it. If you ignore their guidelines in the manual, as I intentionally did at first to get it in the right spot, funny readings or error messages will result. Our first reading was 33 pCi/L. Then came error messages. Then I followed the instructions, found a good spot that met their specs, and since then it has worked fine.
How reliable is it? I have three sets of data from three different methods of radon testing in our house. I do not know which is most reliable, but here are the results. A professional radon test with a continuous monitor, closed house, was done in June. The basic levels were between 2 and 3, but with high levels and a peak of 27 during a thunderstorm. The average was 9. That taught us that averages can be misleading, and made us pay attention to radon in this house. The hourly readings from that professional monitor were much more useful, showing a house that was good in good weather and bad in stormy weather.
Following extensive work in a crawl space that had never had any work, not even a vapor barrier, we tested again, closed house. This time with the Safety Siren Pro. Readings were .3 or .4, very low. Since then we've lived in normal conditions, windows open, etc. Readings have been between .3 and 2.3 in our bedroom.
We did a direct comparison from Sept. 19 to Sept. 23, using a Pro-Lab test kit from the hardware store ($10 plus $30 for lab fee). The two canisters were analyzed as .3 and .1 for that period. The Siren Pro ranged between 1.9 and 2.3 during the same time. Which is correct? Don't know. And it's a big difference -- 1000%. On the other hand, both methods are suggesting low radon levels (for Indiana these are low). The Siren Pro shows an average of 1.0 for the last six weeks. (It has a button to push to see long-term average and short-term average levels.)
Since none of the three tests suggests that the house has high radon in good weather or since the crawl space work, it is not unlikely that the Siren Pro is approximately correct, good enough for our purposes. And since it appears to be the highest of the three tests, conditions taken into consideration, it may be giving us a margin of error in the direction of caution.
We would buy it again. Not saying we know for sure any of these tests are fullproof, but we have done nothing to mitigate radon other than the crawlspace work that had to be done anyway (perimeter drains, vapor barrier, sump pump, and running all downspouts from the roof far away from the house). So the Siren Pro has let us avoid the cost of radon mitigation, plus the annual cost of lost energy by running a continuous fan on a vent pipe in the crawl space.
It's very easy to use, and can be used forever, so in that sense it is easy to recommend it. The EPA sees it as a valid test. For $150 plus $40 plus $119, you can get a professional test, canister test, and the Safety Siren, and that may be $300 well spent if the professional test indicates high radon.
Assuming it's somewhat accurate, the Safety Siren lets you gather all kinds of valuable data while controlling different variables --ventilation in the basement, ventilation in the house, sealing gaps where radon might enter, etc. And you can also note variances in outside temperature and humidity and their effects.
Description of Safety Siren Pro 3 Radon Detectors, EPA Evaluated
Home Radon Alarm Monitors Continuously Choose a digital radon gas alarm to protect your family from lung cancer from radiation from radon gas exposure. This electronic radon monitor is the only EPA evaluated radon gas alarm , the Safety Siren Pro 3 Electronic Radon Gas Detector from Family Safety Products.

The Safety Siren electronic radon monitor gives its first radon reading after 48 hours of radon gas sampling. Radon gas in air or water is a health hazard resulting from uranium breaking down in soil. Exposure to radon can cause lung cancer. Continuous home radon monitoring is recommended in high radon areas or when radon mitigation systems are used. Radon gas levels change according to humidity and season.
