What is the best Geiger counter out there

As a novice, I found the Mazur 9000 to be the easiest and most simple to operate once I fully read the instructions and practiced a little while. Wasy to operate and very responsive instrument.

I ordered this unit, it was a piece of junk, sorry that you got one also. Perhaps donate it to Goodwill.I hate to say this but I found a very good timer at ACURITE.COM, it has magnetic base and works well.

Not sure, I'm a beginner with experience with a cheaper brand. After using this model I must admit my old metal detector "toraso cultus" is much easier to use and detects just as deep. I'm not certain the price gives me that much more of a detector. I'm still learning it but am becoming a little frustrated.

I prefer this one because I had both of these and the Germ Guardian was a whole lot better for my home! We have a real big dust problem being by a oil drill rig and allergies since we do live out in the country and hands down the Germ Guardian has cut my dust down a whole lot more than the Honeywell did! I also love the UV-C light technology on this as well. With kids always coming and going at our home sometimes they come in sick well it use to make us sick after they left but with this UV-C I can honestly tell you we have not been sick since we've bought these! They work great compared to the Honeywell and even compared to several other brands I have tried in the past! My son has bad allergies so he use to be always red eyes, sniffling and itchy but since I bought a second one and put it in his room it covers a good amount of space so his allergies aren't nearly as bad as what they were before! I hope this helps you out into making the decision on what to use and buy for your home! Good luck!

Itr is easy to use. Yes for something like that a great tool. Detects a few inches below earth. For the price u can't go wrong.

The easiest way is with an electric kettle that has a digital temperature readout. Bonavita makes a good one. No thought or measurement required.

Here is a Youtube video of some tests done in 2013. This is not an area where I really have much knowledge. I think the biggest question is what is causing the radiation detecting device to signal. The biggest threat seems to be with the possibility of cesium 137. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WbX9ubE_hI

I doubt this would be sensitive enough to detect that low of a level radiation present in food. I use mine primerily for finding radioactivy in man made objects. http://youtu.be/uEJir3G1v0U

I recommend the Trifield 100XE EMF Meter for those sort of readings. It's cheaper, accurate, and easy to use. The extech is best if you want to measure radiation from cell towers etc.

Check out my Infrared oven user's group at Yahoo. There's wealth of info there. The Nuwave and the Flavorwave are the most popular. The B&D; is really too small, is a toaster oven, and is in an entirely different league (minor league) than the other two ovens.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Flavorwave-Hearthware-Oven-Users/

The price on Amazon is back up to $279 now, at $169 it was too good a deal for me to pass up! I don't know why it was more than $100 off the regular price, but it's a great metal detector. It's far better than my "starter detector", and honestly, it's even worth $279.

No. Geiger Counters detect Gamma, Beta and X-Ray radiation. Radon Gas is Alpha particles and you need a special device to detect those properly. RADEX brand carries an easy-to use, highly practical Radon Gas detector: MR106N. Please see our listing here for more details: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004X4J4LK Best Regards, Dmitry C.

only mcSvs and roentgen ... calibrates well with another counter that I have.

Hi Dennis. Gamma sensitivity and methodical counts over long periods would evidence really bad radioactive contamination, but to _know_ food is safe requires seasoned experience with expensive gamma spectrometry equipment --which is why we're supposed to have the EPA and state health departments. Unfortunately the agencies responsible for our health are on their butts --so we do what we can with humble equipment --and in the next election we all vote for Green Party candidates! Being able to detect residual alpha radiation in prepared samples and air filters might also sniff out problems, but that takes a spendier Geiger counter and careful work --plus you end up trying to get lab confirmation anyway. (Everything I know is at: &gt; http://webpages.charter.net/123goto/map.htm (And if I can't post a URL here, Google on "SW Oregon Radiation Monitoring".)

Most consumer-grade CO detectors can detect and display down to 11 ppm. You'll only see this if you push the peak level button. The Defender CA6150 will show ambient level down to 10 ppm with the push of a button.
