Review on πŸ”Œ First Alert CO605: Reliable Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Detector with Battery Backup by Hector Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Old and worn detector

Be careful with these detectors. I knew it was going to end badly when I saw the package it came in; yellowed with age, looks late 90's/early 2000's. These detectors have a limited lifespan, even if left unopened on the shelf. My guess was confirmed when the detector started chirping shortly after switching it on. I suspect they are "new old stock" being discarded after years of storage. Get a new detector even if you have to pay more.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Slightly dented
