Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde KN-COEG-3 Nighthawk Plug-In Carbon Monoxide and Explosive Gas Alarm with Battery Backup
Customer Review: It saved my home!
Summary: 5 Stars
Few weeks ago, at 3:30 AM the Gas Alarm was triggered. When I opened my bedroom's door, a strong gas smell was all over the place, immediatly I closed the gas tube main valvle of my apartment. If it weren't for the alarm that awaked us, my maid, me or my dog could be death and maybe other persons from my building as well. I live in the Dominican Republic and 99% of our homes use gas stoves, and I consider this a must. It's a reliable and well designed product, it even has a back up batteries system using 4 AA batteries, so it's always on, even with power blackouts.Customer Review: Annoying GAS alarm goes off after about a year of use.
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this before we moved into our home as we had gas heat, water heat and stove. This was a nice unit and we did have one instance where gas was detected and then about the one year anniversary it started beeping with the GAS alarm, despite the windows being open and no stove use and no smell. I reset the battery moved the unit to another room that is not near the kitchen or utility room and received the same reading. After doing this I removed the battery and replaced with an all new, the same thing. I will be looking for a better unit that is more reliable.Customer Review: False Alarms -
Summary: 1 Stars
Fortunately, Kidde customer service has responded well to our false alarm problem with the GAS side of these devices.
Now on our third, the other two each lasted about a year before giving us false GAS alarms, this one is up only about 2 months and here we go again!
This time, I asked Kidde if they would replace the unit with the Carbon Monoxide ONLY product... They were kind enough to do so.
Thank goodness Kidde stands behind their products with representatives trained to listen and respond to consumer issues.
Customer Review: Too many scary false alarms
Summary: 2 Stars
I had nothing but problems with this unit and eventually threw it away (wish I had read the reviews and called Kiddie to get it replaced). If the power went out, it would alarm. If I used hairspray two rooms away, it would alarm. If I used the stove or something burned on a unit, it would alarm. The final straw was during a power outage at about 2:00 am when it went off and, not knowing what to do, I called 911 and had the fire department come out. There was no explosive gas or CO at all. It was just blaring for no reason.Customer Review: Great product, used by professionals
Summary: 5 Stars
I frequently travel to construction sites for work. It wasn't until I purchased one of these devices for my home that I noticed the same product being used by general contractors to protect their laborers in unfinished spaces. It seems every time I turn a corner now in a building, there's a gas-fired heater blasting hot air down a hallway and right next to it, fastened to a metal stud, is a Nighthawk CO and Gas Detector. Excellent product and I would recommend it to anyone looking to protect their family or colleagues.
