No issues so far with this unit. I like the digital readout, and that it can be wall-mounted or stand alone like a picture frame on a desk or shelf. We have ours on a desk behind a picture, but still within our site. Could not beat the price found on Amazon.

I bought this to monitor CO in my home. It came quickly and had free shipping. It came with the batteries it needed it seems pretty sturdy. The instructions are straightforward and easy to understand. I just popped open the case, put the batteries in and set it in my hallway table with it's little stand (like a picture frame). It looks nice and I like that it has a display so you know how much CO there is...not simply an alarm. I look at it every time I walk by and it gives me peace of mind.

This is probably the best value for an CO detector that actually has a digital read out for the PPM of CO gas detected. Having the readout is important so you can differentiate between a low alarm (maybe <100 ppm) from baking and something more serious (>400 ppm). The unit I received in March 2010 is the one with the squarish buttons - not the newer round button unit that is also sold through this same amazon page.
I am very handy around the house - I redid my own bathroom down to the studs. This was not difficult to mount, but it could have been much easier. It uses two keyholes on the back. There is no template provided and - unlike most smoke detectors - the mounting plate does not detach from the unit. Thus, there is much measuring and leveling to do it right. Ours is wall mounted next to the thermostat in the hall - away from the kitchen.
So far, no false alarms and the max reading/backlight button is a nice feature.
Uses 3 AA batteries - included - Duracell - nice.

It is and does exactly what it's supposed to and every house must have one in NY by law.

After recently learning that CO detectors need to be replaced after 5 years, I went on the hunt to find new ones. The Kidde KN-COPP-B got great reviews at a very reasonable price so I ordered 2 of them. They arrived quickly, were easy to set up and are in great working condition. I'm very happy with this purchase.
