    Here is an even cheaper one, it is a one time use disposable one though, but at £1.99 it good value. Havent bought one myself. I think its 50p P+P.

    How can one that is single use at £1.99 be better value than a multiple use one at 50p more?

    unless you buy 4 like i did which brings the price down to £4.98. They also test for household Carbon Monoxide and LPG leakage too.

    Yes - it's gone for now - but don't worry - it comes on their Super Savers on Today Only quite often. I bought one before Christmas from them and picked it up (hence saving the postage) when I was passing their shop (I think you have up to 1 month to collect if you order for collection). It seemed a bit variable with the results though.
  • Thanks, I have ordered one.

    Scan also have some very good proces on cables (Network, USB, etc) on their today only screen. I ordered some of these as well, to spread out the postage costs.

    You probably aready know this, but I just found out today...

    Make sure you press the "buy" button from the today-only screen. If you press "i" to go to the description screen, and buy from there, you pay the normal full price.

    It's still working at the cheap price even though it says it's now back to normal. Search for 'alcohol' on the site then when you add it to your basket it comes up at the cheap price. Well it did for me anyway ;)
