Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde KN-COB-B Battery-Operated Basic Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Electrochemical Sensor, 1-Pack
Customer Review: Does what it is supposed to do.
Summary: 3 Stars
Not sure how you rate this higher than 3 maybe 4 stars as it does exactly what it is supposed to do no more no less. Maybe there are others out there that do more or have more bells and whistles but for a carbon monoxide alarm this is good as any other product in the market. I particularly like it because it doesn't plug in and I wanted to mount it like a smoke alarm. Most of the plug in models just get in the way of trying to plug other things in.Customer Review: Put it up somewhere away from people!
Summary: 2 Stars
I guess this item is good for the price that you pay for it.Ive had 2 of these and twice had a careless person knock it down, once off the countertop minutes after purchasing it and once off the top of the fridge (that was partially my fault for never putting that one up) But what Im trying to say is if you purchase this item NEVER let it fall on the floor after it hits the floor its no more good the alarm keeps going off even after moving it outside to fresh air. Dont even think you can call the PROFESSIONALS at Kidde and expect them to help because the RUDE customer service agent is just going to cut you off in the middle of you explaining the problen and tell you to go buy a new one!Customer Review: False Alarm?
Summary: 2 Stars
I have had one of these alarms for a month or so, and last night it started going off while I was making dinner. I took the alarm outside and it stopped beeping, so I decided it was probably real and called 911. They came over and their detectors read absolutely nothing. So while I think a CO detector is an important item in every home, I worry about the accuracy of this one.Customer Review: KN-COB-B is crap
Summary: 1 Stars
We have had three of these units for less than six months. We also have two other CO units that are AC only that we have had for a few years.
Just about every week one of these three units beeps very loudly for three or four beeps and then quits. This is very annoying when you are sleeping. It does not continue like it is a real alarm. They are not the soft chirps indicating low batteries. I have replaced all the batteries with new quality batteries instead of the cheap ones that come with the unit. Our regular, more expensive, CO units have never gone off at the same time as these cheap units. Buy the more expensive units.
We do not think these are unsafe, just annoying.
Customer Review: False alarm
Summary: 1 Stars
this thing woke us up at 2 in the morning... kept going off so we called the fire department. we sat out on our porch for 2 hours talking to a policeman and fire chief while we waited for the gas company and a sherifs deputy to show up with testing equipment! LOUSY machine!!! they couldn't find any problems, but the gas man said to set it outside in the fresh air to reset. Don't you know, started going off again (outside) while we were trying to catch up on our sleep. We've only had the thing for about 2 months. My husband just put it together and mounted it on the wall a few weeks ago, so it should be in tip top shape!
