Designed for residential use, the Nighthawk Carbon Monoxide detector keeps everyone in the house safe from poisonous, odorless CO fumes. The unit detects carbon monoxide levels from 30 to 999 parts per million. Its low-profile design doesn't stand out when connect to any wall outlet. The unit plugs directly into AC outlets for easy setup, and comes equipped with a 9-volt battery for backup during power outages. Its loud, 85-decibel alarm is sure to alert the whole house when safe carbon monoxide levels are breached. The Nighthawk is UL listed, and features a continuous digital readout of carbon monoxide levels, as well as peak-level memory display, and a test/reset button. It also can be stationed on a tabletop with the included 8-foot AC cord. The Nighthawk comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty. --Brian D. Olson

I have had this unit 2 months now. (Purchase: January 2010) I obtained it for an efficiency apartment that has a Williams 20000 BTU Hearth Vented Heater. Sq Footage is approx. 475 for this two room efficiency. I rent this apt. to college students and wanted to make sure the new heater setup was safe. I followed code in the install and venting, but since CO is colorless and odorless; I do not take chances with silent killers. (e.g. CO, Radon, High Blood Pressure, etc.)
So far ( 2mos.) the unit is performing well and no battery issues. My readings at different four different points in the apt., including 12 inches from the heater vent were all Zero. Peak readings also never rose above zero. I began to wonder if I had a defective unit, or just super safe air.So I experimented...
I placed the CO Detector in my garage, closed the door and you guessed it...ran a vehicle. Within 5 minutes the detector started reading CO Gas. 17, 44, 76, 116, 220. After another 4 minutes and 17 seconds, the unit started screaming bloody murder. I turned off the vehicle opened the big door to the garage and took the unit outside (battery back up took over) for fresh air till the reading went back to zero. I then returned the unit to the garage with the bay door open and plugged it in again. The readings gradually rose back to 58, then over time fell; eventually back to zero as the residual CO was dissipating.Infer what you want from this data. Me, I like the unit.I will update this review after the Duracell battery runs down, giving the battery life as a back up all the while being plugged in. I will also indicate any power failures during that test period.The test continues...

Did you know that you need to replace Carbon Monoxide detectors about every 7 years? I found out at 2:00am a few weeks ago when mine started beeping. I really like this Kidde Nighthawk for its versatility of installation.

This device detects low level CO. The reading was dead on the levels measured by our fire department. How do I know? While on a weekend trip with some of my buddies, this thing alerted my wife that there was a leak at home. She called the fire department when both of our meters, upstairs and downstairs, began to sound the alarm. When they arrived, they used a fancy detector with a probe to locate the source of the problem. The exhaust duct from our water heater in the cellar had separated at an elbow, causing the gas to leak outside of the chimney and up through the floor. The fire fighters measured the gas levels around our detectors, and the measurements were consistent, before and after they reconnected the duct. There was never any odor or sign of a problem other than our Kiddie alarms. The level of CO was over 250PPM when the fire department arrived. That is high enough to do serious harm. What a life saver! I now have a total of four detectors, and I sleep better for it.

THIS ITEM CAME IN WITH AN EXPIRED BATTERY . IT WORKED FOR ONE WEEK AND STARTED BEEPING LOW BATTERY. I CONTACTED AMAZON TWICE AND NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. I THINK THAT THIS ITEM, CO DETECTOR, WHICH WORKS ON BATTERY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DELIVERED WITH A BATTERY THAT WORKED FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR NOT ONE WEEK . I HAD PURCHASED THIS ITEM BEFOR FROM A STORE AND HAD NO COMPLAINTS. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMEND THAT THIS CO DETECTOR NOT BE PURCHASED FROM AMAZON.
