Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde KN-COB-LCB-A Tamper Resistant Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup
Customer Review: Do you have an outlet up high enough on the wall?
Summary: 3 Stars
After buying this detector that plugs into an outlet, I read elsewhere that CO detectors should be mounted minimum 5 feet above the floor. None of my outlets are high enough in the areas where the detector should be placed (outside each sleeping area). I rated 3-stars only because that information should be in the product description!!Customer Review: No likey
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought 2 of these and 1 of them is a menace, always going off in the middle of the night and we can't shut it off. So, we keep it outside in the garage but it still goes off sometimes. The other one is not going off for no reason, but if it gets bumped out of the outlet- the shrill is relentless and it is not easy to reset. The directions are on the back of this thing, but you have to sit through the shrilling while you read the instructions. It's enough to drive a person CRAZY. Babies are screaming, pets are running. It's unnecessarily loud.Customer Review: Battery Backup Doesn't Work
Summary: 2 Stars
I didn't have problems with random alarms like other reviewers, but the battery backup stopped working within a couple of months. My toddler unplugged the alarm a couple of times. After the second time, the battery backup stopped working. I tried resetting it, a fresh battery, etc. and nothing worked. It seems to work (flashing light) on AC power, but who knows?Customer Review: Serious issues with setup
Summary: 2 Stars
I initialized this thing and it went off and I couldn't shut it off with out using a screw driver to remove the battery housing and then pulling the battery out. I bought 3 of them and it happened to all 3. I haven't gone back and investigated what set them off like that. My ears are still ringing.Customer Review: Does not last.
Summary: 2 Stars
This item is advertised as having a seven year life span. Mine signals the "end of life" for the unit by chirping every 30 seconds, even after replacing back-up battery. It is less than three years old, which is less then half as long as it is supposed to last.
