Decent but basic
It works, but don't rely on it for critical safety alarms. Good for learning and experimentation only.

Great for Arduino projects
Works exactly as expected. Detected gas leaks during testing easily. Perfect for my home monitoring prototype.

Perfect for school project
Used this for a safety monitoring prototype. Very responsive to lighter gas during demos.

Good sensitivity
Needs some time to warm up before readings stabilize. Good value for the price point.
Q: Does it come with headers?
A: Yes, pin headers are included and pre-soldered for easy breadboard use.
Q: Can this detect Carbon Monoxide?
A: No, this is MQ-4 for combustible gases. Please use the MQ-7 module for Carbon Monoxide detection.
Q: Is 3.3V logic supported?
A: The sensor heater requires 5V. Logic levels may vary, but 5V microcontrollers are recommended for stability.
Q: How long does preheating take?
A: We recommend 24-48 hours of continuous power for initial stabilization before calibration.
Q: What is the detection range?
A: It typically detects combustible gas concentrations from 300 to 10000 ppm.
