I have this in my laundry room where the hot water tank and furnace are. One day I had my snowblower running warming up in the garage with the garage door open and the door going into the house was open a little, the snowblower was at the garage door and that set off the carbon monoxide alarm. So for me this worked great.

It seems to have worked ok...as far as I can tell.It was manufactured in Jan 2005 and it is about Jan 2010 and it is defective. It will no longer self test and throws off random chirps which indicate that it is not functioning properly.So, $35 for 5 years (or not..as I don't know exactly when it failed)that is $7 per year.What is it worth to you?Is there a better option on the market?I am going to purchase a new one from Amazon but not before I check for a more robust unit.

I bought these for two old homes. I have to take them all back. The major flaw in the design is that the button in the back must be push ALL THE WAY in when the unit is plugged in or the no power warning alarm will go off CONSTANTLY until it is plugged back in. If you have an old house that has older outlets that do not hold the plug in very TIGHTLY these will not work and the alarm will go off constantly thinking the unit is unplugged. You also have to make sure that the area behind and around the plug is rigid and flat. The unit is quite large. In order to deactivate the alarm you have to tamper with it and mess with the battery (not easy in the design). If you hit it or move it the alarm goes off. Just annoying.
This is the LOUDEST alarm I have ever heard. It has to be damaging to hearing. I wonder what happens if you are not at home and the power goes out. Does the alarm sound the entire time until the power comes back on? I would hate to leave my pets home with an alarm like that going off around them. I decided it was just easier to buy a long life battery operated detector which can last up to ten years. Bad design and a stressful experience.

Had this for about a year until this morning, when the alarm went off. I have a second unit from another manufacture that I placed in the same area as the Kidde and it didn't go off. Called Kidde support, and was on hold, their website had a section on what my alarm was and it said exit the house and call the fire department. I did (to be safe, I have a family), and they tested the house and found nothing. Not buying a Kidde again. If anything, only get a detector that has a digital read-out.So if you want a great surprise someday and think that your house has carbon monoxide, font get this!
