Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde KN-COEG-3 Nighthawk Plug-In Carbon Monoxide and Explosive Gas Alarm with Battery Backup
Customer Review: Second detector
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second Nighthawk.
The first one was installed for over 10 years
The auto 7 year warning will sure come in handy
Customer Review: Too many false gas alarms.
Summary: 1 Stars
The title says it all. What good is this thing to anyone if it constantly false alarms? To make matters worse, the first few times it happened I would unplug it and then realize I also had to take the time to remove the battery. So, I'd get a nice dose of high decibel sound at point blank range for a few extra seconds while I fumbled with it. What a waste of money. I like most others on here will be going with a CO only device. Customer Review: The Fire Department is Now Putting Me on the False Alarm List
Summary: 1 Stars
Too many false alarm for the GAS detection (explosive gas).
Gas gives a distinct odor unlike Carbon Monoxide.
Turn on a gas stove and you can smell it.
This is by law and design to have odor in your natural gas supply.
This unit keeps going off saying 200-288ppm is detected despite resets.
The fire department is sick and tired of us calling.
Customer Review: Kidde Nighthawk alarm KN-COEG-3
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been looking for a home monitor/alarm that could detect carbon monoxide and explosive gases. We wanted it to be portable as well as reasonably priced. We selected the Kidde Nighthawk alarm with battery backup after reading a lot of reviews and recommendations. The instructions were helpful and easy to understand. We were able to test that the unit works and now have it plugged into an outlet near the stairs in our home. It is comforting to know that our family is protected especially at night. I think this product is as necessary as a fire alarm and recommend that everyone consider purchasing a unit for your family's safety.
Customer Review: Just had a false gas alarm
Summary: 1 Stars
We just had an explosive gas alarm tonight. I picked up the baby and ran out of the house into the 27 degree night, the fire dept came out and found nothing wrong. I decided to see if there were any reviews on this unit. I wish I had read the reviews before I bought this. I don't want to throw it out just in case it does detect gas one day, hopefully there won't be any more false alarms. I know gas has a smell, but I used to live in an apt. before where there was a gas leak and I didn't know it, so I'm sort of paranoid now. The fire dept. gave us a new battery so we'll see. Why can't anyone make a reliable gas detector?
