I have this one. Not cheap, but easy to use and compact. AI provides very good support and someone is always available to answer questions.

I've seen these at several DEMAs and scuba shows, and picked up one of their O2 analyzers for a friend. It looks like a decent analyzer and would be my choice based on everything I've seen out there

It's nice to see so many choices in CO testers for tanks. I so remember feeling like I was on a one diver crusade, sadly disappointed in DAN's failures to take action - as I still am.
My Analox tester is up to date, and I will be updating my Cootwo and Sensorcon before my next dive trip. I will be testing every tank as I have for years now, and if I find a bad one - comparing results of the three, as well as a follow-up report here on SB. Cozumel fill stations seem much cleaner than when I first started checking, but only because they know that many of us are watching. That's no guarantee that Coz tanks are clean, and there are certainly a number of smaller fill shacks there, but the chances of a toxic tank are much higher anywhere else I think.

On my last trip to coz I tested around 60 tanks and the results ranged from .7ppm to 1.9ppm. All came from meridiano. I was a bit taken aback to see the fill station at la caleta had no snorkel. Any engine exhaust that drifted by their door was compressed into those tanks IF their filters were not maintained properly. I routinely read 3-4ppm as the background CO when first turning the unit on just by being in the area. If there was an engine running nearby it would redline. Yes, testing is good.
