This is a very convenient unit to install and figure out. I like the digital display because you can see the CO levels and can get a sense of any issues by simply glancing at the unit when walking by. I liked that it came with brand name batteries too, when I was looking at my local hardware store some of the units had generic batteries. The reason I bought a Kidde is the built in functionality. I had a smoke alarm of theirs that was acting funny, beeping every 30 seconds, so I pulled it down and right on the back it listed what each beep sequence meant (no having to hunt for a manual, or search online). This unit acts in the same manner, it's even supposed to alert me in 7 years when it is time to replace the unit, how cool is that? Kidde KN-COPP-B-LPM Battery-Operated Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Digital Display
I bought this because of the requirement by law to have one. It was very easy to install and has a large Display panel as well. If you don't have one of these in your house, and need it by law, this is an easy choice!!
I bought this alarm because the description said you could use it on a table top. I wanted to put Carbon Monoxide alarm in the basement near the water heater and furnace but didn't want to go to the trouble of mounting it on a cement wall. This worked great! I just set it on the shelf in the laundry room. Bonus, I can still read the digital display because the screen is big. I have the previous version of this which was round and i think the part number was KN-COPP-B. I kept the box so I could order another one but was happy to find out that they updated it and made it free standing.
I highly recommend this product, and Amazon shipped it in a day. I bought it and the next day I had it in my house working.
I did a lot of reading on all the different type of CO1 detectors offered here on Amazon. I chose this model not only for my own home, but also for the customers I install CO1 units into their homes (I'm a contractor). This is not the cheapest model available and the same company makes one without the digital readout which is less expensive, but I believe it's worth the extra money to have the readout. That way, I feel that if there is a problem, it may be caught sooner than later if the amount of emissions are listed. This unit is guaranteed to last seven years as opposed to the other model without the readout at five years. It's one place I would not want to cut corners. I also prefer the types that are mounted at eye level and not into an outlet.
Kidde has a great line of products. I like this new co alarm because of the large window display. I can walk by and take a quick glance at it. It is battery powered so I don't need to worry about the alarm not working during a power outage. When you test the alarm it is loud, even over the loud music that I sometimes play. Another feature is, you can date the item, so you know when to replace it. This alarm has a 5 year warranty. Every home should have a CO detector. Put it inside your house near the garage door, gas dryer or furnace. Takes minutes to install.
Our local authorities dictated that homeowners had just one week to comply with CO Alarms being installed. In a panic we picked out the Kidde KN-COPP-B-LPM from the Amazon information. It was easy to install in the recommended place near our bedrooms and satisfies the requirement. Operation is easy.
I recently bought 2 of these units for my home. The units are very compact in size and installs flush onto the wall. The LCD display is large enough where I don't have to squint my eyes to see the reading. It's also nice that they include the 3 AA batteries required for operation. Now for the misleading part. Amazon's product description clearly states that the unit is backlit. It is not. I confirmed this by calling Kidde help support which informed me that this specific model was intended for energy-saving and therefore omitted the feature. If the backlit feature is something you can live without, this is a highly serviceable unit to have protecting you household.
This KIDDE KN-COPP-B-LPM BATTERY-OPERATED CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM WITH DIGITAL DISPLAY is an easy way to meet the CO monitoring law. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS carefully. It mounts easily on your wall, and takes you only minutes to install. This DOES NOT have a back-lit display, but can be quickly read in ambient light. The unit will last for seven years. You then MUST replace it with a new unit. I feel that the high-pitched warning sound made by this unit can be heard, even through closed bedroom doors. LED colored status lights are easy to see.
Easy to install. So far no false alarms. Must push a button to get avg. reading, but so what? "If" it alarms when CO levels are high enough, that's all that's important. Four stars only because I haven't had an alarm situation (thankfully) to know whether or not it alarms. All else is as advertised. - Carbon Monoxide - Alarms - Carbon Monoxide Detectors - Co2'
