🔌 Kidde Nighthawk Carbon Monoxide & Gas Detector, AC Plug-In with Battery Backup, Digital Display Review

My mom lives with us and sometimes forgets to turn off the gas stove when she cooks so I come home and the house smells of gas. I bought it thinking it could detect gas but it doesn't! When I bought this a few months ago I plugged it in right next to the stove thinking we wouldn't have the same issues as before. NOT CORRECT! Today I came home at 6:00 p.m., my mother said that she would finish cooking at 5:00 p.m. At 9pm when I watch TV in my upstairs bedroom I smell gas. I immediately ran…

My teenager has a head injury. We bought it on purpose because a gas stove and an injured person are incompatible! Well, just a few months after buying it, our daughter turned on ALL FOUR BURNERS on the stove - to the hilt. There was no crack or flame. only gas flows into our kitchen. This went on for many, many minutes before we noticed. The Nighthawk, bought to save us from that (unthinkable) event, was completely silent at 8ft. The gas level in the kitchen was unusually high.

Part of the connector can be removed from the back of the device, and the main part is on a different level than the connector. Natural gas is lighter than air and propane is heavier, so they recommend placing it high in the room if you have natural gas and low if you have propane. Many negative reviewers don't seem to understand when the device…

I have been installing and using Kidde gas and carbon monoxide detectors like a pro for over 15 years. Checking the lower readings, I noticed that many reviewers were trying to use the detector for instant measurements by moving the device from place to place, which is clearly labeled as not a feature of the device in the manual. This function requires a concentrated acquisition gas analyzer. I've noticed that others have complained about the device not detecting natural gas and set the devices
