Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert CO615 Carbon Monoxide Plug-In Alarm with Battery Backup and Digital Display
Customer Review: Highly rated detector, working great
Summary: 5 Stars
After my previous carbon monoxide detector died, I went to the internet to see what was the best one out there to replace it. According to Consumer Reports, this is highly effective at detecting low and high levels of carbon monoxide, and is not prone to false alarms. That sold it for me.
After receiving it, opened the package, installed the batteries, and plugged it in. Works fine, and being able to pull the power plug and place it away from the wall is convenient.
Customer Review: Save lives for a couple bucks!
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased two of these units for Christmas presents for our grown children. A family in town had a close call with carbon monoxide, they all survived. However, they were fortunate they became sick and called the fire department paramedics. The paramedics quickly determined that the culprit was carbon monoxide. They were transferred to the local hospital. I would be devastated if any one were harmed because an inexpensive item had not been purchased. Consumer Reports recommends this unit. It is also less expensive than many others. I can rest free. No regrets.Customer Review: Great Product & Good Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always been one to research what type of products I should buy and it was no different for this carbon monoxide alarm. I found out that it was rated well in Consumer Reports. I liked the idea that this monitor only needed a battery for backup purposes. I was afraid we'd bump into it on occasion since it hangs in our hallway and is only a foot or so off the ground, but we haven't as of yet. After reviewing several other places such as Walmart and other retailers, I believe Amazon came out to be the best price for the product.Customer Review: Top rated easy to use product
Summary: 5 Stars
Pro:
Its a CR Best Buy.
You can plug it into a power outlet without worrying about pre-wiring.
It has a battery back-up in case of power out.
Con:
The display on the unit is not the best but then it has an audible alarm.
Since most of the power outlets in homes are at the bottom of the room. Using it with the power outlet means the unit is always at the bottom of a wall.
Overall I have had no issues with the unit and I will recommend it for anyone to buy.
Customer Review: Easy to Install
Summary: 5 Stars
All the local stores in Colorado were out of stock with waiting lists for CO detectors due to media coverage of several deaths in the state. We got these in less than a week, and they were very easy to just plug into any outlet. They came with the back up batteries, so I didn't even need to supply my own. Could not have been easier, and have the best of both worlds...an A/C powered unit with back up battery that I could install myself without mounting hardware or an electrician.
