Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde KN-COPP-B Front Load Battery-Operated Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Digital DisplayCustomer Review: Exactly as expected Summary: 5 Stars
This alarm was delivered on time and as expected from Amazon.com. I have not yet found out the battery life because the product is new. The alarm sounds if you insert the batteries incorrectly and there is a timer that makes the alarm sound after 7 years when the product is due for replacement. The device comes with a stand so that you can place it on a flat surface no higher than 3 feet above the floor rather than drill holes for wall mounting. I have high expectations for the quality of this brand.
Customer Review: Excellent monitor Summary: 5 Stars
I really like the digital display on this unit. Gives more indication on the status of the monitor that the simpler models. I have two of these and have been happy with both. Recent carbon monoxide related deaths in Colorado have increased demand and made these units hard to find locally. Received quick service from Amazon and a good price.
Customer Review: Excellent price for a top rated CO detector Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this detector because I live in a home with a gas furnace, gas water heater, and gas oven and I was concerned about the possibility of carbon monoxide leaks (even small ones) that could affect the health of my family. I chose this specific unit because it got great reviews from many different reviewers and because it records all CO readings instead of just sounding an alarm when a hazardous level is detected, which will let me know if I need to check my appliances before they become hazardous.
Some people have posted reviews saying that the alarm was going off constantly right after they got the detector so they returned the unit. Mine was doing the same thing so I contacted Kidde support and was advised that the detector goes through a self-test process including several simulated alarms with CO "detection in the 200-300ppm" range before it resets the display to zero and begins functioning normally. I don't know why this information isn't in the manual that comes with the detector since it would help eliminate the confusion for new owners. My detector went through the alarm process a half dozen times before it finally stopped, but it did settle down after I let it sit and make noise for about 10 minutes and it has been functioning normally ever since.

Customer Review: Feeling safer! Summary: 5 Stars
This alarm was a gift for our daughter. We have a similar one which 'saved' us when our ionization wired-in smoke alarms did not detect a smoldering wood fire.
