Kidde Carbon Monoxide Alarm

I like kidde products which are well made and easy to use. It's compact and can be placed where you want the device. Gas leak detection is good when prouduct tested and the flashing lights are explained. Battery life is long and prouduct good for piece of mind

They are working well, easy to use, good size, look good, seem safe enough, tough too.

I don’t know about the rest of you folks, but I find it really helpful the many QUALITY REVIEWS I read about products on Amazon. That is what keeps me writing well-thought out reviews, as your many QUALITY REVIEWS have been of GREAT BENEFIT to me again & again. Thank you.Now for my Review Of the compact KIDDE CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM that comes with a 7 year warranty.I was quite wary (i.e. unsure) about getting another Carbon Monoxide Alarm, as many reviews of Carbon Monoxide were either EXCELLENT, GLOWING REPORTS or very negative ones. So I decided to read a lot of the Carbon Monoxide Alarm Reviews and ANALYSE the results. (i.e. break down my understanding of what they all meant)The KIDDE Carbon Monoxide Alarm seemed to get a mix of both positive and negative feedback. However, having carefully considered its feedback, I decided it was worth considering.The Compact KIDDE CARBON MONOXIDE Alarm is indeed very compact weighing approx 200g (0.44 ounces) and its dimensions being Width * Length * Thickness ➡️ 7 * 12 * 3 cm ➡️ 2.76 * 4.72 * 1.18 inches.It hardly takes up any space and although it comes with screws to affix it on a wall or ceiling, it has a ready-made slot on the back of the alarm to enable you to hang it on a hook or nail that’s partly recessed into a wall.The Carbon Monoxide Alarm comes with instructions and Three “AA“ Size Batteries. It’s really easy to remove the cover to the battery compartment on the back of the Alarm. You just gently slide it down in the direction of the arrow and then put in the 3 * AA Batteries and then slide the compartment cover back on carefully. It’s important to note of course that it’s the actual Alarm Unit that comes with the 7 Year Warranty and NOT the batteries!You’ll probably need to change the batteries once every 7months to a year depending on HOW OFTEN the Carbon Monoxide Alarm sounds.[I say this as I’ve had a few KIDDE Carbon Monoxide Alarms in the past with at least two at any one time. Also, I believe that after about 5.5years or so, depending on HOW FREQUENTLY the Alarm goes off to alert you, the unit will need to be replaced as the CO Sensor inside the unit stops working!].And VERY IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU FIRST PUT IN THE BATTERIES, THE CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM MAKES TEN RAPID BEEPS, WHICH STARTLED ME A BIT. I should have read the instructions that came with the unit more carefully.You’re also advised to write in the date ON THE BACK OF THE UNIT, the date you installed the Carbon Monoxide Alarm & the batteries, as both the Unit and the batteries have a LIMITED LIFE SPAN. I installed mine on Sunday 26 July 2020 and wrote that date on the Carbon Monoxide Unit. I think it would be easier to write down the installation date with a marker pen.AND REMEMBER to TEST the unit AT LEAST once a week and PREPARE for the loud 85 Decibel Screeching Sound.Some Carbon Monoxide Alarm Units require you to vacuum their insides once every two to three months. I LIKE IT THAT THIS UNIT DOES NOT APPEAR TO REQUIRE THIS!Some people have complained about their own Carbon Monoxide Alarms received being manufactured a few years before they received them. The two I received were MANUFACTURED ON NOVEMBER 9 2019.Thanks for Reading and Hope you’ve Found MY REVIEW HELPFUL...

A good general all rounder. Reliable performance for sure.

This carbon monoxide alarm is a true lifesaver! Its sleek design seamlessly blends into any room, and the ease of installation makes it a must-have for every home. The loud and unmistakable alert ensures you're promptly notified if there's ever a threat, providing peace of mind and prioritizing safety. The long-lasting battery life is a bonus, eliminating the hassle of frequent replacements. Investing in this reliable carbon monoxide alarm is a small price to pay for the priceless protection it offers. Highly recommend for anyone prioritizing home safety!

Does what it's supposed to - I have the version with the display and also this one in different areas of the house. Worth spending the money for peace of mind. Loud alarm, easy to test. This one is definitely a genuine product; it feels solid and well finished, labelling and packaging looked right. I bought a CO alarm last year that was 20% cheaper, but it looked, well, unbranded and sort of flimsy. Shortly afterwards I saw a consumer programme reporting dodgy alarms being sold online via even the reputable websites -not just the really obvious too cheap to be real products; but versions selling at just marginally less than the going rate. A couple of days later the battery went on mine - this is one of the signs of a fake CO alarm. Straight in the bin, tenner wasted. It's just not worth taking the chance to save three or four quid.

I bought this product back in May 2022 for my kitchen as I have a gas stove. Well I have 2 of these (one is expired and an older model but still works but it's still kept in my kitchen). Yesterday I had builders in doing works to the outside of my house. The older expired model started beeping. I thought hmmm that's strange it must be faulty. Then 5 minutes later the new detector starts beeping. Ok... Well that's definitely not a fault. I evacuated the house with my husband and two toddlers just in case it was anything sinister. I told the builders that I think the generator they were using was emitting carbon monoxide and it's somehow getting into my house. I told them twice. My husband told them. They still kept denying it was their generator. We were getting nowhere. So we called the big boys in (fire department). They did checks all over our house. The CO level was high enough that if we stayed in the property long enough it would have made us sick. They confirmed that there were no leaks from our boiler or our gas appliances. They brought in their machines to air out our house so that the CO levels were brought down to zero. Then they told the builders that it was definitely coming from their generator as they had seen this plenty of times on the job and they told them to keep it well away from our house as the CO was coming in through our vents. I don't know what else was said but I imagine the builders were given a bollocking from the fireman as my husband had explained the whole thing to them.You guys, definitely invest in one of these CO detectors or any CO detector. They are life saving! I'll definitely be buying this brand again!
