KiddeCarbon Monoxide Detector with 10-Year Battery, Digital Display, 3 LEDs, Replacement Indicator, Peak Level Memory

Took out of box and installed within less than five minutes! The test button emits a loudness, even a heavy sleeper can hear it! Looks great and so far the functionality is easy! Great value for the money!

if i would go to Co##co before - I'd buy there, 2 for same price. anyway - easy to install and looks working, would hope for 10 years.

I got this as we have a generator now for power outages due to hurricanes (I live in SE Texas) and everything in the house is electric so I don't have to worry about C02 regularly but if we have to run the generator and it has to be moved due to storms, we'll have something to notify us in case any C02 gets in the house (obviously the generator won't be inside the house running) but if it can't be on the back porch but has to be moved to a (vented & open) garage, we'll be safe from CO2 poisoning. I bought this brand as it's a well known & trusted brand and I wanted something battery operated in case of power outages and not having to worry that the battery isn't working. It installed on the wall easily and we tested it and the initial alarm isn't loud but the secondary alarm is loud (we installed this in our long hallway that bedrooms come off of so it will reverberate off the walls and wake us up in the event of CO2 in the house.

This was very easy to install and activate. Will keep me safe in my home. Thank you for your great product.

My mom’s carbon monoxide detector in the middle of her house (dining room) went off earlier this month - same brand as this but an older model (without digital display).We opened windows and the front door and sat by the door. We felt fine and had no symptoms of carbon monoxide affecting us.I checked the detector batteries and they were fine. We got her second detector (same model) from her bedroom and it didn’t alert us of any problem.My husband brought our detector - with a digital display - to her house. It quickly started going up and went to a max of 64, then came down to 38.We called the fire department and they found some scattered elevated carbon monoxide readings, but couldn’t figure out why.We didn’t want to go to a hotel and they didn’t want us to stay there with the gas on. We said we could make it without heat or hot water overnight, so they went outside to turn off the gas. They suggested calling our gas company in the morning to request an appointment for them to check it further with more advanced meters.I decided to call our gas company then (about 2:30am) to leave a message. I explained the situation to an employee who said “We consider this an emergency and will come right now”. AND, “If you have the fire department call us, there won’t be a charge”. I said “Hang on they’re still here!” – then ran outside and had the fire chief talk to her.Two gas company employees arrived a short time later. They checked the house carefully and felt the alarm may have been from cooking soup for about 2&1/2 hours without using the (over-the-stove) microwave vent…They had us open a couple windows and the door again for a half hour and then felt we would be ok staying there. The numbers on my sensor continued to fall and were back to zero before I went to sleep.The fire department and gas company employees checked our detectors and said they should be replaced because of their age. (I had already started researching them!)We narrowed it down to these and a similar Kidde with batteries which we would need to replace. The purchase price difference wasn’t significant and these will probably end up being cheaper since we won’t have to replace the batteries. They’ll also make life easier since we shouldn’t have to worry about them for 10 years!We ordered four for my mom and two for my house. It was easy to install the back piece, which activates the battery. All readings are zero!!I appreciate the constant numerical display, like I’m used to from my old detector. However, mine was a “plug-in” style and the numbers always glowed red, so it was very easy to read. My only negative comment about the new detectors is that the display isn’t backlit and the numbers don’t glow.
