I bought the Airthings Corentium from Home Depot in February for $200, and have been very satisfied with it for our use. For $150 on sale right now, I'd say that's a great deal.

If you know you have a Radon problem, then any meter would be fine to confirm your mitigation is still working. If you want to see trends like I do then a fancy meter will be necessary…
If you’re not sure if you have a Radon problem, I would get a long-term certified test done first (Starting mid-winter/early spring) (I believe companies will send you the product and you return it after the test is complete?)

@StevSmar The long term test you mention is the one that you send back for analysis. In order to do a 4 season study (recommended by the Gov), you would have to test 4 times. If you order from Lex scientific, for instance it would require 4X81$ to get the kits, and have them processed. They come with 2 tests per package, but that is intended to do 2 simultaneous tests in your home.
The above amazon deal is much cheaper, allows you to retest any time, and are just as accurate.

I can’t comment on accuracy, but if you do four tests then I can see how just purchasing a meter would be more affordable.
I did one test, it came back high so I remediated. (In 2014 I believe).

Calgary SE here. I did a 3 month radon collector test and sent the collector in for analysis. I was slightly below the 'norm' for my area, and was well within the Health Canada guidelines for radon. I have a 60's bungalow with a few small foundation and basement floor cracks and a HRV retroftted.
Which one are you going to get?
