This is a handy little unit that will either fix to a wall with the supplied screws and plugs, or stand on a shelf with the built-in plastic feet. I liked that it was a sealed unit – so no messing about with AAA batteries. It has a claimed functional life of 7 years. This makes allowance for the recommended weekly alarm test. The instructions suggest that battery life may be longer than this, but the unit itself needs replacing in 7 years.It is 5” x 3” and a little over an inch fat. The display has two modes – room temperature (?) and Carbon monOxide (CO) ppm. It only registers CO levels of 10 ppm and above.From the instruction book: 35ppm is the maximum allowable concentration for any continuous 8 hour period for a healthy adult.

This gets a which best buy, (important, because there are some out there, even on Amazon, that are frankly dangerous, in that they don't report dangerous levels of CO) It wasn't overpriced either.It does have a display which helpfully displays temperature most of the time. This is handy, because if there's sufficient Carbon Monoxide about that you are going to pay attention to this alarm, you really shouldn't be hanging around reading the CO PPM ( Parts Per Million) display., making it otherwise pretty pointless. But it displays temperature too, so that's OK. (although for the cautiously curious, it does allow you to 'test' it - if you attempt to do so, please do it outside!)So pleased with it.

I love this CO detector. Most importantly it actively shows the carbon monoxide concentration - unlike some competitor devices (First Alert) that only show the number if an alarm is triggered. I also like the fact that you can also show room temperature which is a nice value-add. And the alarm is very loud (unlike First Alert alarm which is pretty quiet).The small negatives are the fact it beeps very loudly as you push the button to switch between CO detector mode and temperature mode - and the flashing light. I realise that the flashing light is there to show the batteries are still working, but it's really annoying in a completely dark room. It's the same flashing light that you will notice in most hotel rooms,

Never bought a CO monitor before. A good unit if you want to see CO levels rather than just wanting an alarm to sound if CO rises. The alarm monitors how much CO over time and calculates accumulative exposure. That's what I call sophisticated. It is also easy to set up and use.It is a sealed unit with lifetime battery (5 years?) which starts only when you pull out the blank. Great to be able to see running CO levels (mostly zero of course) and room temperature if you want. Will also hold 14 day peak level which is very useful. We had concerns about the neighbour's boiler outside our bathroom window,

We're getting a gas fire installed and as I already bought one of these for my boat a couple of years ago I went for another rather than the cheap rubbish the gas installers use.The first one was tested by running the car engine outside and bringing the alarm anywhere near the exhaust have anmalarm so very sensitive even outside. And it's still working dispite the very harse damp salty atmosphere in a boat.It's got a 7 year battery life which is great because we all know that smoke alarms and co alarms always beep at three in the morning to let is know the battery is low and it usually takes three months to remember to get new batteries which cost £3 at least so over 7 years this is cheaper than the batteries alone !It's dead easy to setup,

I have read most of the reviews and agree with them all about the product being good. I have given it a 5 star as i have no issues with the product, nor do i question its reliability. However, i am unable to compare it to anything else as i have never needed a CO detector before. I recently purchased a brand new flueless gas stove for my living room hoping it would be cheaper to use than my electric heaters. The stove burns off a butane gas cylinder hence my reason for purchasing this unit.My friend has a detector but not a digital one. It just goes off if the levels are high so seeing a ppm reading on the unit can be un-nerving for those who do not fully understand levels of ppm.The only error is the manual suggests a 65mm diameter for the holes (if mounting on a wall)

I bought one of these 7 years ago and it has sat there silently, gently flashing every 5 minutes or so, indicating 0 CO on the digital readout. I went to a friend's house the other day and found hers (different make) in a saucepan of water on the draining board because its battery had finally gone flat and woke her in the night. I was amazed it was still working although it had been under water for 12 hours. Anyway, I ordered her a Fireangel because I can't fault mine: I'm not dead yet! The new one has arrived and it is possibly nicer than the old one - it has a few extra functions that I hadn't noticed on mine, such as a thermometer (yawn!) and also a sensor test mode,

I bought this to monitor carbon monoxide in a room which contains a gas fire. I liked the idea that it had a battery which should last the lifetime of 6 to 7 years - there are other devices on the market which offer lifetime of 10 years but I though that replacement after 7 years was reasonable. It is supplied with screws for wall-fitting but I didn't really want to look at it so I have it free-standing on a shelf. I also liked the display of CO concentration in parts per million which I prefer to just having an alarm sounding. On receipt I found the instructions easy to understand and one of the first things I did was to set up the unit in its test mode and check out the operation with the

The product is just fine especially with its digital display. This is a replacement for an identical unit that was just over 7 years old and beginning to make itself known that it was replacement time - so the 7 year battery life claim is totally justified!I had no problems with the previous unit so can only assume that this will be the case for the next 7 years. The unit is installed close to my non-condensing gas central heating boiler and now is sited at the recommended distance and height - such information is contained in the downloaded instruction manual which I would recommend you do if one is not supplied! In the manual it does describe how to test it for Carbon Monoxide detection so that you can be confident of its reliability.There is a 'key'

This item has dual functions namely a carbon monoxide alarm and a thermometer. I would have awarded 5 stars except the thermometer is only accurate within 2 degrees centigrade as confirmed by the manufacturer. Although the main function is as a CO alarm I believe that either the user should be given the means to calibrate the temperature display or the feature should be deleted. In its present form it is only a general indication. It is recommended to be wall mounted using the wall plugs and screws provided. The screws slot into the back of the unit. The spacing between the screws must be accurate (a template is provided) otherwise it will not hang on the wall.

This is the 3rd one of these that I have bought - 1 being for a relative. Nice little piece and easy to set up and use/read. Has a green light which flashes once every minute to let you know that it is working. Unfortunately one of ours malfunctioned shortly after we bought it - the loudness of the alarm is very good and I'd say would wake up even the heaviest sleeper. Ours was blasting through the house and a red light was flashing rapidly on the front. We immediately opened all doors and windows and contacted the emergency number for potential carbon monoxide leaks. The house was found to be safe as were our neighbours and it was put down to a simple malfunction.

There are various types of Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors on the market, but this one has to be one of the best out there. Even the CO Angels website (an organisation campaigning to raise awareness of CO poisoning) have partnered up with Fire Angel to reduce the incidence of CO poisoning.Gives clear instructions where to fit it. Looks modern and trendy, and even has a thermometer function so it can be the thermometer in your room as well. The digital readout is a useful feature as it will show you the reading. But one brilliant bonus is that it will record if it detected any CO in your absence. Have you ever wondered if CO could be building up in your property when you're out at work or anything?

I am happy with my purchase. I was doubtful due to some of the review stating that they have rested the product but it does not work. These people cannot have read the instruction manual fully as it clearly explains How it works and where to place the alarm. The tests mentioned by other reviewers are unfair.I love how these come with wall attachments and they can also be freestanding, as shown in my photo. This is a great feature as it means I can take them with me when visiting hotels/caravans etc.The manual is informative and simple to understand and wrtten in English, not translated. It is clearly intended for The British market as there is British rested safety advice and telephone numbers

I bought the twin pack of these so that I could give one to my parents and keep one for myself. My parents have central heating and have installed it about two meters away from the boiler, where as I have an open coal burning range so though I'd but these to monitor our houses for problems with carbon monoxide.The unit looks modern and is quite stylish to look at, the display can be changed to show either ambient temperature or CO levels with a push of the single test button. The alarm is very loud and has a flashing LED warning that lights up the front of the display.The unit comes with a sealed battery that should last for a couple of years,

Bought this for a recent gas 'woodburner' installation, to conform to building/fire regs. This unit is neatly designed and easy to fix in position. Apart from being manufactured by a respected company, I went for this model as it has 3 significant benefits over many other CO alarms:1. - 7 year 'sealed for life' unit (fit and forget) - particularly useful where a landlord may need to install a number of alarms2. - NO BATTERY TO CHANGE for the full 7 year life expectancy. This is very useful for situations where the property is in use for long periods by others, eg. rental tenancy and holiday accommodation. (Also it is not unknown for batteries to 'go missing' from rental properties,
