I bought a few of these as we just had pellet stoves installed in our home. I did some research on which ones have good sensors and which brands are reliable... etc, and this make and model came up over and over, so I went with it. I'm very safety conscious so when they arrived I wasn't going to just press the test button and assume they work fine, as I'm relying on these things to save the lives of my family and me. So, I put them to the test.Smoke: I stuck them with double-sided tape temporarily on the ceiling while I tested them. Firstly I tried cigarettes, well a cigar actually. My partner and I don't smoke, but I enjoy a once a year cheeky cigar at Christmas.

My old Kidde combi alarm had reached its end-of-life and I was interested to see they had discontinued that for this newer model. I've had a few of the older ones and none have ever given me a problem.I was wary of the number of reviews that spoke of false alarms, but eventually decided it was worth a try. I bought two. One of them did give a completely unprovoked false alarm a week after it was installed, but otherwise they have been ok. (It has been nearly 4 months since purchase, I will update this review if problems occur.)This model has a front-loading 9V battery rather than the old rear-loading 3xAA. I can see the benefit in ease of battery change but, for something you do once per year at most,

This is a good alarm. Has got one multifunction button for test/reset as well as silent mode in case alarm goes off.Installation is relatively simple although it could be even better. It's a bit more tricky if you want to install it on the wall instead of ceiling and want the signs to be levelled.It's not the biggest alarm I've seen and not the smallest either. The battery compartment is brilliant, with a click mechanism to lock it in place. Located right under the button, you don't need to remove the alarm to get to it. It has 'child protection' in case your kid feels like 'disarming' it (both battery and the unit itself).

I bought this to install in my newly bought house which already had a smoke detector installed but I wanted a 2 in 1 so I can keep myself, my family and my property safe in case of emergency related to either smoke, fire or gas leakage.It came securely packed within a couple of days of ordering and was brand new. There was a well written one page manual with pictures describing how to install and use it.However, the product is designed in a way that its very user friendly and its easy to see how you would install it.I just removed my old one and had to drill holes to fit the holder onto the ceiling on which the main unit sits. Once I had 2 holes on ceiling,

I bought one of these (Kidde model 10SCO) to replace a Kidde model 0122UK which recently came to the end of its 7 year operational life. The model 10SCO was made on 9 April 2016, so quite new! It came with a fitted Duracell 9v battery "best before Mar 2020", with plenty of charge remaining. The battery is supposed to last for one year, which - if true - is much shorter than the 3 years I got from the 3xAA batteries in the model 0122UK. Time will tell. The new alarm fitted the mounting bracket for the old model 0122UK, so that saved me drilling more holes in the ceiling! The User Guide seems comprehensive and is written in plain English. Improvements over the model 0122UK are 10 year working life (an extra 3 years)

Five star reviews on Amazon are stated as "I Love It" Bit strong for a combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, "I love my Kidde combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm" hardly a conversational piece in your local brewery "I love my Kidde combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm" or a chat up line "I love my Kidde combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm" (even the dregs at the end of the night would drunkenly shuffle off). However it is louder than it needs to be so if you're a regular toast burner have ear defenders at the ready. That about sums up my review of this Kidde combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, which I love.

It's loud. Boy is it loud as I recently discovered after installing it and a day later have a grill pan go on fire. Alarm burst in to life with its ear shattering shrill. Sorted the grill out and wafted a towel in front of the alarm. It wouldn't shut up. Threatened it with a hammer but it just ignored me and by now my dog had joined in with her own interpretation of how an alarm should sound. Pressed the hush button. No such luck. A computerised voice started screaming at me that there was a fire and carbon monoxide in the air. Ok the hush button is also the test button. Solved by taking the alarm from its mount, wrapping it in a duvet and sitting on it. After ten minutes it reset itself and blissfull silence resumed.

This is an excellent product. Had a similar older model which came to the end of its useful life so replaced it with this one. Front loading 9V battery is a nice feature. Also good that I could use the previous mounting ring without having to screw a new one in my ceiling. A must have detector for any safety conscious family with oil or gas central heating. Easy to install plus when required, easy battery replacement without having to remove from the ceiling. I have one in the sitting room and one at the top of the landing. Don’t listen to the bad reviews. This is an essential piece of kit for every home. This company (Kidde) have been making smoke alarms and fire extinguishers for many years.

This saves having two separate smoke and carbon monoxide alarms - and has a voice warning to tell you why the alarm has activated to save confusion.You always wonder whether these alarms are money well spent as you don't know if they work until the emergency occurs, but in this case you have the certainty that Which tested it and were impressed.So one alarm instead of two, cheaper than most, and certainly cheaper than buying two separate alarms with the assurance that you're getting a good buy from the Which review.It is worrying, given the type of product, that Which actually found some other alarms that were so poor they rated them 'Don't Buys'

Very impressed with this, its a good large chunky bit of kit. Having purchased 3 others makes of fire alarm in the last two years, only to discover that there was no "stop or pause" button, this is a welcome purchase. This has a good large button for testing and also for stopping the noise when its gone off because of cooking smoke in the kitchen. Easy to fit, price shows its better to get a slightly ore expensive one (having bought three other products in the last two years I could have bought this one twice over) as the quality shows. It also has the carbon monoxide sensor in it too, so doubly confident at this time.

I bought this to replace existing product of the same brand that had reached the end of its effective life (and told me so by beeping every thirty seconds, not in itself a bad thing to happen). I liked that the previous one had lasted a decade (hands up everyone who vacuums their alarm every month) and I wanted a combined CO2 and fire warning. This one even fitted into the same wall mounting. It also features a child lock. Shame they had to change the battery type. I liked it that the old one took AAs new one takes MN1604 like everything else but it was included so mustn't grumble. Recommend.

Nothing wrong with the supplier or delivery etc. spot on received within 2 days or so. The product is slightly larger than the average smoke detector I guess because it is dual function. Again no issues. The only picky thing I can see is the wall mounting rather than ceiling mounted instructions (the installation option I went for) was vague on horizontal level markings etched on the back of the product as part of the installation. However worked around this using old fashion pencil and spirit level. Looks great sturdy and as would be expected with Kiddie.

This updated version is easy to test and the battery compartment is easily accessed. Audible and visual warnings for Carbon Monoxide (clear, odourless poison resulting from incomplete combustion of gas in the boiler) - the silent killer, and for smoke detection. Easy to fit, - template supplied just rotates into place on ceiling via two screws ( have to pre-drill and plug the holes) . Alarm unit itself rotates into place on the template with a 'click' - ready to go for testing - press central button for 3 secs and wait. Nice , compact unit.

Good product. Battery replacement is much easier and more sensible. However, it is a shame they keep on changing the base plate of the product that now has different ceiling screw hole fixing positions compared with their their original products. This means you cant simply swap the new product for the old one (because these products do not last a lifetime) and instead have to plaster fill the old ceiling holes and paint over them. Such a stupid mistake and one that might convince customers to try a different brand.

Purchased to install in utility room next to boiler. Looks good, appears well made and is from an established company KIDDE rather than some unknown cheap Chinese copy. When it comes to safety I don't risk buying cheap crap. This manufacturer is well known and experienced in this type of product so my advice is buy from a trusted brand, it's worth it and in fact isn't necessarily more expensive either. I have installed these for a number of my property maintenance customers. You get what you pay for. Recommended.
