Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert CO615 Carbon Monoxide Plug-In Alarm with Battery Backup and Digital Display
Customer Review: First Impressions
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the CO615 after seeing Consumer Reports rate it the best in its class and both CR and consumersearch.com claiming that it picked up low CO levels (~150ppm) faster than the Kidde Nighthawk models.
Installation was easy. I especially like the cord that can be tucked away for direct wall outlet mounting, and that the plug can be rotated 90 degrees.
The interface is a bit annoying. The display remains blank unless I hold in the Peak Level button for a few seconds, and the buttons are hard to press.
I like the subdued status light; I don't want this thing lighting up a dark room.
The remote control feature seems to have been dropped. It was not mentioned in the printed manual that came with my unit, though the online manual still mentions it. Why didn't they change the model number if they changed the feature set? (Note: I bought mine from ACE Hardware; perhaps Amazon stock differs.)
Customer Review: GOOD SO FAR! GREAT PRICE!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very simple unit and the alarm/peak CO level tests are working so far. I'd like the alarm to be a little louder but is probably adequate for most people unless you're a real deep sleeper. I'm very satisfied especially with the great price on Amazon!!Customer Review: Good device
Summary: 4 Stars
My only problem with the device is that it's hard to tell if it is on. Also when trying to press the buttons their not very user friendly and hard to get a readout. It feels like it may break with the amount of force needed to press the buttons for the digital display to function and provide a reading.Customer Review: Good one!

This CO detector is simple to install, just insert batteries and plug into wall socket. Has cord which allows you to locate in area which may not be close to an outlet.
