"Saved My Family's Lives!!!" 2008-06-27
By Max Hudson
We had the model before this one, and shortly after getting it as a gift, it went off.. we were groggy and we barley got out. When the fire department got there it was clear, it saved our lives!! GET ONE!! GET TWO!! (One Battery, One electric!!) Have fire alarms in EVERY ROOM.. But what worried me, is would any alarm actually wake up the kids!! (test yours deep in the night at least once, to see if it will.. This one is loud & clear!) Still, put one closer to hear it better in your sleep!! (Remember they have to be up at a certain height, so read the instructions!!) Have a plan with an uncluttered exit. Carbon Monixide is colorless and odorless, but you are just as disoriented with high levels as waking up in smoke. Protect yourself & your home.. Have extinguishers, and alarms, and keep your phone & keys shoes & coats where you can grab them in an emergency..


I'm writing this because I have to find out why our old model is suddenly reading 7 .. We got in in late 1995, and it is time for a newer model. I will be watching the levels tonight. This is a reminder that the furnace is overdue for a cleaning as well as the chimney! If you have a wood stove, or oil furnace, You NEED one of these!! It once went off when a generator running a water pump was too close to the basement door and the fumes came upstairs, 2 hours later!! Thanks for reading.


  
"Lasted 9 years - great product" 2007-12-20
By Middle age tech freak (Auburn, CA United States)
This unit has worked for 9 years flawlessly. That's an excellent life for these devices - they probably should be replaced more often, but this one has tested fine and served continuously without problems. I'm happy to be investing in the newer unit (the Kidde 900-0076). This one finally announced it's need to be replaced by giving the malfunction error indication - as it should.

  
"MUCH CHEAPER elsewhere" 2006-01-07
By Specky (New Hampshire)
Unusual for Amazon...but much cheaper at HomeDept-&39.97 and at Walmart-$44

This exact alarm is at Home Depot for $39!


"Lifesaver!" 2004-01-31
By Paul J. Moriarty (North Adams, MA United States)
We've had our detector four years, always showed the low reading of zero. Then, in the middle of the night one night it awoke my wife and I to display very high readings of carbon monoxide. We called the fire department which investigated to discover a problem with our furnace. They said if we didn't have it we might have died.

"Don't buy this one" 2009-10-28
By Mass Professor (MA, United States)
I have the exact same experience as the previous reviewer. The unit quit working after a year or so. It had Err in the LCD. I called warranty service and the Indian tech support guy was quite friendly and agreed to replace it at $6.5 for shipping and processing. They only take check or money order only because their credit card system is down. It seems that the credit card system has been down forever and they never bother to fix it.The quality of this product is questionable since there are so many failures. Try to avoid it at all costs.

  
"mine broke too" 2009-06-25
By Pete May (Frustration, CA)
My also failed in less than a year - It now constantly beeps and indicates 'err' on the display.I didn't have my original receipt (I didn't buy it from Amazon), but I decided to call first alert warranty services anyway (1-800-323-9005). The very friendly CSR told me that the 'err' display indicates the sensor has failed and the unit will need to be replaced. She gathered my shipping info and some info about the unit and offered to send a replacement for $6.50 to cover S&H, and I would need to mail a check or money order since their credit-card system was down.I'm going to send in the check. I'm hoping they've addressed the quality issues, and the new unit will last longer.

  
"Do Not Buy" 2009-04-30
By Gayle N Steve
This CO detector seemed fine until we got an Air Hog remote controlled helicopter which set the detector off. Next we got a Vizio HD TV and just turning the TV on caused the detector to activate it's alarm. This thing was a waste of money. If you're in the market for a carbon monoxide detector, look elsewhere.


"Frequent False Alarms!!!!!" 2009-03-20
By Grand Isle Dame
I purchased this First Alert Carbon Monoxide Alarm as well as a NON-digital First Alert carbon monoxide alarm. I bought them on the same day.This alarm has gone off SEVERAL times, and it says to EVACUATE as well as states that the CO level is "400 PPM". I was sure my gas-line on my dryer was the culprit, so I stopped using the dryer for a week. I also put the non-digital alarm next to this one. STILL, the digital alarm will go off and yet the other one is silent (does not alarm). I also looked up and discovered others have experienced false alarms. This alarm was purchased in January, 2009, so it is new.Stay away from this product!

  
"Good product" 2006-08-07
By ET (Irvine, CA)
I've been using this product for a year now. I have a total of 3 units in my house. All are working as they suppose to. No complain so far.

"works as described" 2007-01-09
By Robert Schmitz
works as advertized. no installation necessary. battey light blinks as described. no way to tell if it works unless I could somehow expose it to carbon monoxide. wonder if there is a test kit on the market to shoot a small amount in the area for testing??


"Many years of great service." 2006-12-29
By D. Hiltz
Gave me many years of great service -- easy to use, reliable, battery lasted a long time. Now chirping indicates the alarm needs to be replaced. Wish just the sensor could be replaced, as with other models, and not the whole unit (though the sensors are nearly the same price).

  
"I don't know..." 2006-11-10
By T. Haithcock (Washington, DC)
I am neutral on this product. I hope it works. I bought the 10-year battery from Amazon although it comes with a battery and I tested it. I won't know if it works until I actually have carbon monoxide enter my house. I hope that doesn't happen, but according to the test button its up and running.

  
"Save Yourself From CO" 2004-12-02
By Michael Kerner (Brooklyn, New York U.S.A.)
I always seem to hear just about how much of a importance it really is just to get a carbon monoxide alarm, as much as a simple smoke alarm. Now that it has been a law in New York City, there is nothing else you can do buy get one. It is just the safest you have from losing your own life. Yet, with all the ones that I chose, I bought the First Alert FCD3N model from my landlord. It is very simple, and very easy to use. It really isn't all that hard to operate at all. My only one problem, is that some of the information that was written on the alarm actually wasn't in easy to read letters. Instead, it was just written in the same image as the carbon monoxide alarm. Nevertheles, I honestly suggest you buy this alarm. It really is a must-have for every household.

Overall: B+

  
"Get a detector, but not from First Alert..." 2004-05-17
By
I think every home should have a CO detector in it.
Having said that, avoid this one and any others from First Alert. I bought an expensive one from them, and it gave a constant scream. The silence button did not work. Customer service would only say it shouldn't do that. Someone suggested that it might need to 'burn-in' for a few minutes. So I sealed in a room surrounded by blankets to keep the noise down, and it could still be heard a block away four hours later.
The store I bought it at exchanged it for this model, but the problems are just as bad. And again, no help at all from customer service. I have had my house checked and there are minimal levels of CO, but these detectors keep going off and deafening everyone around.

Plug in radon detector and continuous radon monitoring begins. Short-term and long-term average radon level displays after 48 hours. Mutable, audible radon alarm of 85db at 10cm. Beeps hourly if long-term radon levels are 4pCi/L or greater. Accuracy is +/-20%pCI/L. Displays up to 999 pCi/L. About Radon: Radon is a colorless, tasteless, and odorless radioactive gas produced by the uranium breaking down in soil. Accumulations of over 4pCi/L are a long-term health hazard. Only cigarette smoking causes more lung cancer deaths than radon. Home radon levels can vary from safe to dangerous levels and back to safe due to humidity, temperature and season. EPA currently advises corrective action to reduce radon levels below 4 pCi/L (4 Pico-Curies per liter). Sensitive test equipment is required to detect radon gas. Features: Numeric LED display range of 0to 999 in pCi/L shows short-term and long-term levels of radon gas. Short-term: readings over past 7 days. Long-term: readings of average radon levels since powered-up or last reset (maximum of 5 years). Audible alarm sounds if the long-term average reaches 4 pCi/L or greater.

    "Buyer Beware" 2009-08-26
    By Charles O. Butts Jr. (USA)
    True - this has been "evaulated" by the EPA. You can NOT use them in a real estate transactions. You can't even sell these in some states. So beware, you are not getting a $4000 Radon Measurement device for $120. You are getting a device that I think is probably good for a homeowner. Eleven dollar charcoal canisters are approved for real estate transactions.

      
    "great product" 2009-05-11
    By Dilip Elwadhi (reston,va)
    I think this abest and quality product to check radon little expensive but worth it.


    "Now I know I'm Safe from Radon" 2006-03-12
    By H. Schulte
    I live in an area that is at "medium" risk for Radon. Since we live in a berm home, I was always worried that Radon could be a problem for my family. I bought this within 48 hours it assured me that our home was safe from Radon gas. It worked just like the manual said it would, after I finally found a place for it. :) The manual instructions list 4 or 5 requirements for where to place it. Not to be place in laundry rooms, kitchens, near an exterior wall, on the floor, etc.

      
    "Great Item" 2005-12-06
    By PRH (Colorado)
    The item was shipped in 2 days and it performed exactly as described. It's great because it can be used in any room in the house and you get results within 48 hours at each location. This product could be improved by showing results to the nearest tenth of a whole number rather than rounding the result down to the nearest whole number. Overall, great item.

      
    "You Should Buy This Unless You Want to Die of Radon Gas" 2005-09-27
    By Chris Tyrrell
    I have no intention of dying of radon gas, so I bought ye olde safety siren pro 2 and let me tell ya, suckas, I have not died at all yet.Here's what I don't like about radon gas: everything.I've named my detector. Yeah, I know it's queer, but it's so impersonal sitting there at the foot of my basement that I thought I should begin treating it like a member of the family. So I call it Cliff.Every morning after a responsible breakfast (and an irresponsible ingestion of PCP) I run downstairs, kiss Cliff full on the sensors and say, "thank you for keeping my lungs from being filled with gas for one more day on this godforsaken planet, you crazy son of a gun." Then, instead of going to work, I hide down there. And I wait.Cliff is the best thing that's ever happened to me and every day I appreciate him more and more. I'm going to feel even more secure once I get some batteries up in his lil' area.
