I am in a small room with a smoke detector very nearby (in the room). Will this take care of the smoke from soldering well enough to work in there?

I agree with Peter. It does work well and diverts the smoke. If you can open a window it would be best. Try it. It's the only model I was pleased with and I used it in my small room. Be safe.

I cannot answer definitively for your situation because I use it in quite a large workshop which has a smoke detector about ten feet away. However having said that I have been impressed at the way it gets rid of smoke and fumes from soldering. It seems to absorb all visible smoke. I do find it a bit noisy but I may notice that more than others because I often have music or the radio on while I work so it becomes a distraction. My feeling is that it would probably work quite well in your situation. If space is at a premium I would definitely consider getting the version on the sprung arm that can be swung over work and then swung away again like a desk lamp. I find it uses up a bit too much bench space but then again I have a messy workbench. I hope this helps.

Hello Randy, No, only if it senses smoke. Thanks. www.FortressSecurityStore.com

Helps produce smoke by smoldering Pellets and chips. Not a heat source. Works perfectly with an electric master built so I don't ha e to load chips every 90 minutes

Not really. Even when covered it still makes smoke. My solution is to use it just under my kitchen exhaust and then I don't have smoke problems.

If you are roasting it correctly you would have no smoke. But using an exhaust fan above your stove is a wise move. I have never had any smoke come out of my machine. But the heat from it does have my smoke detector go off.

Will work fine if you have a vent fan that vents out side. They might smell the smoke and come visit for a cup of your coffee. That is unless that cheap heating element doesn't burn out first.

I would think so. It worked just fine for me. We have multiple smoke alarms as well.

This alarm responds to smoke and can be triggered by a relatively small amount. That having been said, you should be no more prone to false alarms than , say, your kitchen. The only issue would be IF a router or other wood working tool created sufficient friction to "char" the wood and create smoke. Even then with good ventilation you should be fine.

I did not have a problem with my smoke detectors, but I cannot speak for all types of detectors in all spaces. It probably wouldn't hurt to disable them if there is any concern. These are the best fumigators I've ever used, and I cannot find them locally. I've bought these on a number of occasions!

I bought this specifically because there was a smoker in the apt. Below us who smoked so much you would think the smoker lived with us. It helped a lot but there were still moments you could smell traces. And it only covered the area the box specified. I donit know if it would be as effective in a smoker's home. I also cleaned mine more often, by choice, to keep tar from building up.

The pamphlet inside the package recommends putting the detector in certain areas of the house that may become susceptible early-on such as stairs, near kitchen, etc. The height on wall is not specified. I have mine plugged in close to the floor. I am assuming it is calibrated to pickup on low CO levels before it becomes dangerous. You might have to call in and talk to their customer service people about the specifics.

It can be used indoors but not suggested, because it's not smokeless. It can create enough smoke to set off your smoke detector. It's meant to be used in open areas like balconies, patio's and tailgating. With that said, I have used it in my apartment before and it performed better than anticipated. I had it on my counter, right next to my stove, so the hood was able to take in most of the smoke. I hope this helps.

Yes it would probably work. Keep in mind that you need to press the trigger to activate the smoke. Also, it needs to be kept more or less upright most of the time.

We do not allow smoking in the house, therefore we have not tested it against this capability. I can check the instruction manual tonight but my recollection is that it will not. I hope that helped.

If you are using this as a replacement for the same/similar model, no issues.I am not sure what your question is regarding the pack size.Do you need one or 2 Smoke Detectors?

I would turn on a table fan just to be sure. I do have a stove vent but have not noticed much smoke.

If installed correctly, when one unit is activated then all units will alarm. The value of this is that you will be fully warned when a distant hazard is detected. I'm sure that you'd want to know (while sleeping in the master bedroom), that there's a problem brewing in a bedroom on the far end of your home. For this may be the bedroom of your sleeping child. When I installed my new smoke/CO units one-at-a-time, I tested after each install. When I pressed the center test button, my new and old (smoke only) detectors all fired.
