Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - It's OK but didn't work at first When first plugging the unit in inside the house I had a problem with resetting it and getting the level to read zero (with several attempts). I thought I might have a carbon monoxide in the house at first but took the unit outside and plugged it in in the garage and it reset to zero with no problem. After moving it back inside the house I plugged it in and now it works just fine. I still don't know why it [messed] up at first or mabey if I didn't do something right, but it was very frustrating. The good news is that it appears to work great now. Rating: - CO Detector False Alarms I have had this detector for a few years and it has worked flawlessly. I have always had very low CO readings in my house since it is 75 years old now. Recently, my wife while in the house, was talking on her Cellular Phone, and walked within 5 feet of this detector, and it set off the detector and caused the detector to generate false readings from the radiation that the Cell Phone was producing. She actually saw the display, displaying a series of random numbers, as she was talking on her cellular phone. We also have 900MHz cordless phones in the house and these do not appear to affect the detector. Rating: - Every floor of your house should have one! One reviewer questioned if these really work... YES they do! I had a new furnace installed recently, and the installers made a mistake. Without detectors in the house I might never have known, and my family could have suffered greatly (ie somebody could have become ill or even died!). We had had them for years and they ALWAYS read 0. When we started seeing it detect CO we knew we had a problem. Occasional low readings (such as near your kitchen on Thanksgiving if you have a gas stove) are ok, but any consistant reading is cause for real concern particularly if it is away from any known source of CO (stove, fireplace, etc). I strongly reccomend folks place a detector on each occupied level of your home. If something happens you may very well get different readings on different levels (I did). When selecting a CO detector be sure to pick an electornic one with a digital readout. They cost more, but are well worth it. The only maintenance with a unit like this one is replacing the backup battery. (BTW, a backup battery is a really good idea. Each year many folks die because they used various types of gas heating devices during power outages with inadequate ventalation.) Also, the digital readout will help track down problems envolving lower levels of CO and may give you earlier warning of a malfunctioning heating system. Finally, this particular unit has an advantage in that it can be placed directly over an outlet, or the included power cord can be used to allow higher wall mounting or placement on a table/shelf/etc.
