Description
The First Alert CO400 Carbon Monoxide Alarm utilizes an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor to monitor your space for a carbon monoxide threat. The battery-powered design doesn't require an electrician; simply insert the included 9-volt battery, and the carbon monoxide detector is ready to go.
The advanced electrochemical CO sensor detects carbon monoxide leaks from multiple sources, such as faulty fuel-burning appliances, blocked chimneys, and generators running inside or too close to homes. When CO levels become elevated, a loud 85-decibel alarm alerts you to the threat.
Because CO evenly distributes itself, it's important to have a CO detector on every level and in every bedroom of your home. Designed to be simple to use, the CO detector has just one button that silences or tests the unit, as well as an end-of-life timer that lets you know when it's time to replace the device.

Do not buy
9V battery that comes with the alarm fits. A Duracell 9V battery does not fit and the cover won't close. I would not buy this unit.

Use a knife to remove battery door, no thanks!
The battery compartment is so difficult to remove that I'm returning this item. It says "easy slide open" or something similar in the directions. Nope! I found several online reviews saying they need to use a knife to remove the battery door. Not acceptable.

Not accurate and turns on too much.
The sound alarm turns on after being installed two mintues. There's no gas leak smell and it continues to turn on and the alarm sound is really loud.

Really great for the price!
It was really easy to put together and there was a battery included. I live in an apartment and wanted extra assurance that I'm safe. Also super easy to put up!

Difficult to Set Up
The battery door is impossible to open. It should not be this inconvenient to even set up.
