About this item

As SunRADON states it

  • How it measures: Solid-state radon sensor (absolute reading); sampling method not stated by the maker
  • First reading: Within 90 minutes
  • Reading updates: Hourly once all six sensors are running; the app shows updated readings every six minutes
  • Display and app: No display, phone app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi
  • Power: Plug-in: 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 70 mA; plugs straight into a wall outlet
  • Units: pCi/L in the maker's specifications; the device shows green, yellow or red, and the numbers are in the app

The lüft (Model 1032) is SunRADON's home monitor: a solid-state radon sensor plus sensors for chemicals (VOCs), an equivalent carbon dioxide reading, temperature, humidity and air pressure, in a small body that plugs straight into a wall outlet. It has a colored light on the front instead of a number display, and the readings are in a phone app over Wi-Fi. It was approved in C-NRPP's 2024/25 consumer monitor evaluation, with an A grade in all four test rounds.

What you get

SunRADON does not list the box contents in text on its product page, setup guide or specification sheet, so the contents are not listed by the maker. What its documents do say: the lüft plugs straight into the outlet, with no batteries, no cables or power strip, no wall mount and no separate Wi-Fi hub; the 4-digit Bluetooth ID is on the packaging or the product label; and the app is downloaded from your phone's app store. The monitor measures 111 by 58 by 43 mm without the prongs and weighs 129 g.

How it works

In our words, from the maker's documents

SunRADON describes the lüft's radon sensor as solid-state technology that needs no maintenance and does not degrade over time, and says the lüft uses the same radon detection and monitoring technology as its professional radon monitors. Its specification sheet lists the radon sensor as an absolute sensor with a range of 0 to 9999 pCi/L, a resolution of 0.1 pCi/L and an uncertainty of 10% over 7 days at 4 pCi/L. The lüft's own documents do not name the detector beyond solid-state or say how air reaches it, so the sampling method is not stated by the maker.

Once plugged in, the lüft runs a self-test. SunRADON's setup guide says the air-quality readings (eCO2, tVOC, temperature, pressure and humidity) are available after 30 minutes, and the first radon reading after 90 minutes, when all six sensors start reporting hourly. The monitor calibrates itself over its first three hours and keeps optimizing over the next 7 days, and until it stabilizes the front light may show yellow or red. In the app, updated readings are available every six minutes.

SunRADON's documents do not say what period the hourly radon figure averages. C-NRPP's table describes long-term and short-term averages in the app and a color-coded indication of levels on the monitor. The authors of a 2026 study in Sensors, who ran lüft monitors in a school in Utah, describe the readings as logged every hour as an average of the last 24 hours, with the data retrievable remotely through the OneRadon mobile app or cloud dashboard. SunRADON's 2020 setup guide calls its app the Lüft app.

There is no number on the device. The front LED shows green when everything is in good condition, yellow when at least one of the six sensors has reached its warning threshold, red when one has reached its alert threshold, and blue when the nightlight is on. The thresholds, colors, brightness and nightlight times can be changed in the app for each unit. The iOS and Android apps give a dashboard, trend charts and downloadable data and send alerts when levels pass your limits; SunRADON says the data is stored in the cloud, with reports sent to your email if you want them.

The other five sensors are listed on the specification sheet: relative humidity (10 to 95%), temperature (40 to 105°F) and air pressure (80 to 110 kPa) as absolute readings, and total VOCs (0 to 1187 ppb) and equivalent carbon dioxide (eCO2, 400 to 8192 ppm) as relative readings. SunRADON explains that the VOC and eCO2 sensor detects changes rather than absolute levels and self-levels over time, and that eCO2 is derived from the mixed gases rather than read by a carbon dioxide sensor. The app also shows a mold risk indicator, calculated from humidity and temperature on a five-level scale, an overall indoor air quality status, and the outdoor Air Quality Index.

For connections, the specification sheet lists Bluetooth v4.2 BR/EDR and Bluetooth Low Energy, and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. After a power cut, SunRADON says the lüft resumes on its own, reconnects to Wi-Fi and keeps its settings and data on the device for up to 4 years; the first hourly reading after the outage can be up to 90 minutes late, though readings on demand are available before then.

What is in the box

SunRADON does not list the box contents in text on its product page, setup guide or specification sheet, so the contents are not listed by the maker. What its documents do say: the lüft plugs straight into the outlet, with no batteries, no cables or power strip, no wall mount and no separate Wi-Fi hub; the 4-digit Bluetooth ID is on the packaging or the product label; and the app is downloaded from your phone's app store. The monitor measures 111 by 58 by 43 mm without the prongs and weighs 129 g.

SunRADON's limited warranty covers defects in material and workmanship for 90 days from the date of shipment, for the original purchaser only, when the monitor was bought from SunRADON or an authorized reseller; SunRADON repairs or replaces it at its option. For a monitor bought through Amazon or another authorized third-party reseller, SunRADON says to contact the point of sale for instructions. A returned monitor goes back in its original or equivalent packaging, with shipping prepaid by the owner. The warranty page, revised November 11, 2024, and the 2020 specification sheet give the same 90-day term.

What it costs to run

There is no lab fee and no battery to replace: the lüft runs from the wall outlet, rated at 120 VAC, 60 Hz and 70 mA. SunRADON states it needs no calibration and no service, and that the sensor does not degrade over time. The ongoing needs are an outlet where it can stay plugged in and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network for the app. SunRADON's product page, setup guide and specification sheet mention no subscription or app fee.

Readings are kept in SunRADON's cloud, with optional email reports. For commercial or other large buildings, SunRADON offers a fully automated, web-based dashboard to manage several sensors and asks buyers to contact it for a demo; the lüft page gives no price or terms for it.

Fit and setup

Who it fits, and how to use it

The fit, then setup and placement as the guidance asks

Who it fits

Good fit if, and look elsewhere if

Good fit if

  • You want a monitor that stays plugged into one outlet, with no batteries, cables or wall mount.
  • You want radon and five air-quality readings in one device, with alerts and trend charts in an app over Wi-Fi.
  • You want a monitor approved in C-NRPP's 2024/25 evaluation, graded A in every round.
  • You want to share live readings with a radon or indoor air professional from the app.
  • You would use a nightlight with adjustable colors, brightness and hours in the same unit.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want to read a radon number on the device itself; the lüft shows a colored light, and the numbers are in the app.
  • Your home has no 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network where the monitor will sit.
  • You want a warranty longer than SunRADON's 90 days.
  • You want the carbon dioxide, humidity, temperature or VOC readings to match a calibrated instrument; a 2026 school study found the lüft's radon and pressure averages valid, but not those.
  • You need a result for a home sale; check what your state accepts before relying on any consumer monitor.

Setup and placement

5 steps

  1. SunRADON's setup guide says to plug the lüft into a wall AC outlet and keep it upright; the AC plug prongs rotate 90 degrees, which the product page describes as allowing horizontal mounting. Pick a draft-free spot away from direct air such as air-conditioning vents, where it can stay plugged in and undisturbed; SunRADON suggests replacing an existing nightlight with it. Its FAQ says it plugs into any 110V standard wall outlet, preferably upright, and the specification sheet rates the input at 120 VAC, 60 Hz and marks it for indoor use only.
  2. To connect it, check that your router supports 2.4 GHz, turn on Bluetooth on your phone (on an iPhone, first join the phone to the Wi-Fi network the lüft will use), start the lüft app and create an account, then follow the on-screen steps: find the 4-digit Bluetooth ID on the packaging or product label, name the device and connect it to Wi-Fi. If your router shows two networks, SunRADON's FAQ says to choose the one without the "5G" label.
  3. SunRADON's FAQ recommends at least one radon sensor in the living room and in each sleeping room, and says the lüft can be moved around the home to measure different rooms. A reset, made by pressing the blue button on the side until the LED blinks, erases all sensor and user data and restores the default settings.
  4. For where the radon reading is taken, EPA's guidance for any home test applies: the lowest lived-in level of the home, a room used regularly but not the kitchen or bathroom, at least 20 inches above the floor, and away from drafts, high heat, high humidity and exterior walls. Since the lüft hangs on the outlet itself, choose the outlet that fits those rules as closely as the room allows.
  5. For a decision about fixing your home, C-NRPP's advice for any consumer monitor is to place it in a room occupied at least 4 hours a day, test for a minimum of 3 months, preferably in the heating season, and decide on the long-term average, with a follow-up long-term test if you have less than 91 days of data. EPA says to fix a home at 4 pCi/L or more and to consider fixing between 2 and 4 pCi/L. SunRADON's FAQ sets its own, lower prompt: contact a radon inspection and mitigation professional when the lüft reports above 2 pCi/L for extended periods.

How C-NRPP says to use any consumer monitor

  • Leave it in place for at least three months, ideally through the heating season, when indoor radon tends to be highest.
  • Put it in a room someone uses for at least four hours a day.
  • Decide about fixing your home from the long-term average, not a single day or week.
  • If you can only run a monitor for less than 91 days, follow up with a long-term test.

Questions

Questions people ask

6 questions about the SunRADON lüft, answered

Asked about the lüft

Does the lüft show a radon number on the device?

No. The front LED shows green, yellow or red for the overall status of all six sensors, and blue as a nightlight; the radon figures, averages and charts are in the app. C-NRPP describes the same split: averages in the app and a color-coded indication of levels on the monitor.

What do independent tests show for the lüft?

C-NRPP's 2024/25 consumer monitor evaluation approved the SunRadon Luft, with an A in each of four chamber rounds, and C-NRPP's 2023 report also listed it as passing its performance test. C-NRPP tested Canadian-market units; we have not confirmed the US version is identical.

A 2026 study in Sensors placed lüft monitors beside SunRADON's own industrial-grade Model 1028 XP, calibrated annually by the maker, in six rooms of a school in Utah for about 29 weeks in 2024. The mean difference in their 24-hour average radon was -0.05 pCi/L (95% confidence interval -0.24 to 0.14), with a concordance correlation coefficient of 0.92. Against the 1028 XP, the lüft's call on whether radon was at or above 4.0 pCi/L had a sensitivity of 0.81 and a specificity of 0.96. The authors judged the lüft's radon and air pressure averages valid, but not its carbon dioxide, humidity, temperature or VOC averages.

How accurate does SunRADON say the radon reading is?

SunRADON's specification sheet gives an uncertainty of 10% after 7 days at 4 pCi/L. C-NRPP lists the maker's stated accuracy as ±10% after 7 days at 200 Bq/m³, a level the 2026 study gives as 5.41 pCi/L. The two documents name the same percentage at different reference levels; neither is a guarantee for a single reading in your home.

Does the lüft need Wi-Fi, and what happens in a power cut?

Setup uses Bluetooth from your phone, and the app's remote readings and alerts need a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network; SunRADON says it works with any 2.4 GHz network, and most dual-band routers offer one. Without power the lüft stops measuring, since it has no battery. When power returns, SunRADON says it reconnects, restores its settings and keeps the data stored on the device for up to 4 years.

What do the eCO2 and VOC readings tell me?

They show changes rather than absolute levels. SunRADON explains that one relative sensor handles both, that it self-levels periodically to offset drift, and that eCO2 is a carbon dioxide equivalent derived from the mixed gases, not a reading from a carbon dioxide sensor. Its specification sheet names the VOC groups it detects: alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, organic acids, amines, and aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.

In the 2026 school study, the lüft's carbon dioxide, humidity and VOC averages ran lower than the reference monitor's and its temperature higher, so the air-quality figures are more useful for spotting changes than as exact levels.

Where is the lüft sold?

SunRADON sells it on its own store, from Melbourne, Florida, and describes it as designed and manufactured in the USA. Its product page says Canadian customers can now order on Amazon Canada, and its warranty tells anyone who bought through Amazon or another authorized third-party reseller to contact the point of sale about a claim. We show an Amazon price only when Amazon's live product data supplies one.
