Our verdict

A plug-in carbon monoxide detector with a battery backup, digital display and loud alarm for home use. It detects CO only, so it does not replace smoke alarms.

ASIN: B00002N86AModel: KN-COPP-3Category: Smoke Detectors & Fire Alarms

Overview

Not a smoke alarm, this Kidde unit watches for carbon monoxide and plugs straight into a wall outlet. A 9V battery stands by if power drops, a digital display shows readings and LED lights show status.

Plug-in power with a battery backup means it continues through an outage, and the display and status lights make its state easy to read. The limitation is that it is a CO detector only, and the listing lists a sensor type that is unusual for this kind of device.

Who it's for

Bedroom hallways and utility areas where CO could build up suit a plug-in detector with a display. Those who also need smoke or fire detection should add a separate alarm.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Battery backup during outages
  • LED status lights
  • Wall mount hardware included
  • Long limited warranty
Cons
  • Detects carbon monoxide only
  • Needs an outlet for plug-in use
  • ABS plastic enclosure
  • Sensor type entry looks unusual

Performance notes

The detector senses carbon monoxide in the air and sounds the horn at a set loudness when a threshold is reached. The display shows the level and the LED lights show power and status. Outlet power drives it normally, and the 9V battery takes over if the outlet loses power.
