Review on 🚨 3 Pack 10 Year Battery Operated Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector Set - Portable Photoelectric Fire Co Alarm for Home and Kitchen by John Graves

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Urgently! When needed it didn't work.

I've had them for about a year now. Yesterday I smelled smoke and saw it coming out from under the bedroom door. When I opened the door, it was quite heavy. (Luckily these doors are thin so I didn't have to worry about overlapping). My husband was sleeping in bed and a small fire started in the trash can. This alarm was within 5ft of the fire and never made a sound! For the past year, I've checked them periodically by holding down the button. Right after we dealt with the small fire I grabbed the alarm and checked it out. If the button is held down, it "tests" normally, but does not respond to smoke in any way. To test this further I lit a fire in our burning barrel outside. After it got strong, I held the alarm over the barrel with tongs, and again there wasn't a single sound. I put it just a few inches from the flame. Enough to get soot on it. AND NOTHING! Maybe it's an accident, but I can't risk throwing them all in the trash. I felt really safe after reading all the reviews. They are very easy to install. Can you hang a little nail? Then you have no problems. I recommend everyone who has them to try them. If you buy them, please test them before you trust them. If we were both sleeping I wouldn't be here to write this review. I just hope this was seen and maybe saved someone else.

Pros
