Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde KN-COEG-3 Nighthawk Plug-In Carbon Monoxide and Explosive Gas Alarm with Battery Backup
Customer Review: A must have for anyone with propane or natural gas heat
Summary: 5 Stars
I have worked as an industrial safety specailist for the last 30 years and have seen the devastation of a flammable gas explosion. This is my second unit that I have purchased; this one is for my daughter.
I can tell you that my first unit worked just as intended. I am a home wine maker and when transferring wine from one copntainer to another near the meter the alcohol vapors in the air set off the alarm.
Prior to my purchase of this second meter through "amazon.com", I could not, however, find this model of meter (capable of detecting both carbon monoxide and flamable gases) in my local Home Depot or Lowes stores, nor was it listed on the manufacturer's web site. I sure hope the manufacturer does not discontinue this combination flamable gas carbon monoxide meter. It is a must have product.
Customer Review: Absolute Junk

As with most others posting reviews, mine throws false gas alarms. A false alarm at midnight and a visit from the fire department will keep me from buying any Kidde products in the future.Customer Review: Absolute crap!

More false alarms please! I bought this a couple years ago, it was replaced once after the fire department arrived at my house because of a false alarm. Now, false alarms are nearly a weekly occurrence. Absolutely the worst device I currently own! Buy something else!Customer Review: Annoying GAS alarm goes off after about a year of use.
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this before we moved into our home as we had gas heat, water heat and stove. This was a nice unit and we did have one instance where gas was detected and then about the one year anniversary it started beeping with the GAS alarm, despite the windows being open and no stove use and no smell. I reset the battery moved the unit to another room that is not near the kitchen or utility room and received the same reading. After doing this I removed the battery and replaced with an all new, the same thing. I will be looking for a better unit that is more reliable.Customer Review: Awesome product
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this carbon monoxide/ flamable gas alarm. We have 2 others, and this is to replace one of them. We had a scare a few months ago when our lawnmower's gas tank ruptured and dumped an entire tank of gasoline on the garage floor. At 3am we woke up because the whole house was full of fumes and the alarm was going off. It saved us from a potential explosion, and I won't go without one now. It is totally worth the money, and the battery back-up guarantees you won't end up with a problem when the power goes out. This product is a real life saver.
Incidentally, we have added one near the floor next to the kitchen. We put it there because we have a gas stove and a toddler, and Co2 and flammable gases are heavy. So this alarm will go off before anything happens to our baby if there are any issues with our appliances. It gives me real peace of mind.
