Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert CO615 Carbon Monoxide Plug-In Alarm with Battery Backup and Digital Display
Customer Review: poor construction
Summary: 2 Stars
The battery compartment opens from the front, which is convenient, but the lid did not close properly. Also the batteries had to be positioned just right to work, and it took a good several minutes of fiddling to get them adjusted. The battery backup is required; without the batteries, the unit chirps. (I returned the product and bought a different brand.)Customer Review: As the other reviewers said
Summary: 4 Stars
Received ok. Inspected and found not damaged, plugged it in and everything works as expected. The only reason I did not give it five starts is that I have only had it for a few weeks and the reading has never left zero so, until it does, one never really knows if it is working. I suspect so because everything else is as advertised. Good product.Customer Review: It's a CO Alarm
Summary: 5 Stars
The product appears to work fine. However, I purchased a Kiddy Nite Hawk CO Detector with Digital readout and for some reason, the peak memory level for this product shows about 16PPM while the First Alert Alarm always shows zero.
At this point neither one of the alarms have gone off so I'm hoping that my family is safe.
Customer Review: Consumer Reports best buy
Summary: 5 Stars
NYS law for all condos, co-ops and rentals require CO 2 alarms installed. This is the smartest protection as it has battery back up if there's a power outage. Most stores like Home Depot and Lowes only carry the less reliable and more expensive Kidde alarms. If you're in NY I suggest you purchase through Amazon and save time shopping and money.Customer Review: We bought this item to replace a carbon monoxide detector which was at least 15 years old.
Summary: 5 Stars
We had not realized until we read recent articles, that carbon monoxide detectors are only considered effective for five years. This model was rated highly by Consumer Reports and meets our needs. Our state, now requires such detectors in various locations in all homes. Hopefully we will never hear the alarm except when testing!
