NO Carbon Monoxide Detected

This device has been tested on car exhaust and water heaters for over 10 minutes. No readings, alarms or reactions. Device reset, repeated tests. The device just sits there, no change from '0', pressing the peak button shows '0'. The device should take readings every 15 seconds and 30ppm should be the lowest the manual says it can read. I called support, they told me I was wrong, the device works. An informed device requires the following exposures to record peak readings or alarms: 36 ppm for…

Stop. . sound signal!

I thought this thing saved our lives for the first few weeks we owned it. It woke us up at 3am by beeping about every 10 seconds. Wow, he's trying to tell us something. We've got a carbon monoxide leak somewhere, right? Not correct. After turning the house upside down and looking for directions, I finally found out it was a low battery warning. Hmm, that's strange. It was in a working outlet with the included battery. We replaced it with a new battery, plugged it back into the wall and decided…

What a disappointment!: Fire rated

I was very optimistic about this detector as I've always heard baby products are top quality. So I only bought this item because of Kidde's reputation. I liked the fact that the detector is a plug in type as opposed to the old school ceiling versions I've had in the past. So, like I said, I was very optimistic about this product. Until I woke up at 4:13 this morning to a piercing beeping sound that made my heart beat faster and my head ache! I knew immediately that it was a CO2 alarm and walked

Saved my family's life!

I truly believe this product saved our lives. Our fireplace caught fire on a cold day. It heated up our house so much that the stove was off most of the day. When we went to bed and the fire went out, the stove was lit again. We didn't notice that the extractor hood was not up to standard (not high enough on the sloping roof). We now suspect that cold air has settled in the furnace exhaust gas. When the furnace started up again, the cold air prevented the CO2 from escaping and pushed it back…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Has flaws

I have read many bad reviews based on incorrect information. As soon as I opened it, I checked the date of manufacture, which I advise you to do. I bought it in October 2016. Production date was July 2016. You can't expect more. Make sure to check when you get yours, but it looks like Revain has fixed the old item shipping issue. Another big issue I read was people saying the alarm wouldn't go off if they had a reading. You obviously haven't read the instructions. ALL home CO detectors have a…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Reliability

We tested our device - it really works and is a great product.

We bought this carbon monoxide monitor because we are renovating an old house and the outdated equipment has not yet been replaced. The monitor arrived on time and it was easy to install a backup battery. After reading other reviews I checked the date on our device and it was only a few months old. It comes with a good and simple guide. The plug and cable are neatly located on the back of the device. So if you have an outlet nearby, you can just plug it in. If not, the cable will detach and you

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Hard to say
