I can't rate this alarm highly enough!
Installed it in the 2nd bedroom where the boiler is and the kids sleep. Few days later we lit the downstairs gas fire and the CO2 alarm upstairs went off within a minute! (small house, but impressive range) Needless to say, all safe and gas fire removed. Thank you kidde. Don't know how long they are meant to last. Ours is 8yrs old and the CO2 detector just stopped working, so need another asap.
Excellent value reassurance June 6, 2009

Not had it for very long, and thankfully not had to use it in anger yet but very impressed so far. Good build quality.
This alarm provides good general protection. For extra protection, Kidde does recommend photoelectric smoke detectors as well (as they detect slower, smouldering fires more effectively).
There are 2 different siren tones depending on what is detected, but you don't have to remember which is which as it also has a voice prompt that clearly states which has been detected. The sirens are very loud and piercing but the voice alarms could be a little hard to make out if you're not in the same room as the alarm (though presumably it wouldn't matter that much). There is also a voice prompt that warns when the battery is low.
The design of the backplate ensures that batteries must be correctly fitted or else it won't install.
Only drawback is that it takes 3 AA batteries, which is a bit irregular but not that much of a con.
Very pleased so far!

dual smoke and carbon monoxide alarm by kidd June 10, 2010
Mr. D. M. Milne
Love the idea of combining both alarms in one device and the test response is very reassuring in that it confirms both alarms are operational.
Only drawback is it is not recommended for kitchen use.
Good detector if a bit sensitve for smoke April 25, 2010
Excellent idea for those spaces that could have both fire or carbon monoxide issues.
With just one unit you cover both CO leaks and kitchen fires.
Just be carefull how well done you make your toast!
