Needy item.
A needy item that you should have in your home, you need this item. Easy to install.
Good Alarm
Needed to replace a broken unit. Ordered same day delivery.
This unit comes with batteries included three AA sized alkaline batteries.
Full instructions included.
Simple to wall mount by securing the backing plate then sliding the unit onto the plate. Safety pop ups will prevent the unit being fully seated if batteries are not present. Fixing screws and wall plugs are included as well.
Overall a great unit for a great price. Every household with a gas appliance needs one.
Could save your life
We already had one of these, in the kitchen. It woke us up when our gas heating malfunctioned. I believe it saved our lives so I bought another 2 for other rooms. Highly recommend.
You want a review? Seriously? OK.
I love my carbon monoxide alarm. I haven’t died so far and I’m hoping for many years of not dying. However, it could just be coincidence that I haven’t died AND the alarm hasn’t gone off. I tested the noise and it definitely makes a noise but it’s not clear if that means that the alarm works or just the noise.
If you think logically, should the alarm fail I’m hardly going to be in a position to write a new review.
Hope that clears up any ambiguous thoughts you have on the subject of being warned about your potential demise.
It just works! ....Well, I hope it does, or I never find out.
My chimney sweep strongly recommended I get a CO alarm, so I got this one.
When it’s tested, it’s loud – loud enough to wake me up, even if I’m in the next room (and hopefully before CO inhalation has rendered me comatose).
It’s got a little light that flashes periodically to reassure me that it’s on and monitoring the air. So far, the battery has lasted 18 months. Is it working? Without deliberately spiking my stove and ventilation, which would seem a bit foolish, or investing in a tank of CO (Amazon doesn’t sell it; I checked), it’s very hard to tell!
At any rate, the blinking light is reassuring…
Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Have had this type before and found it to be good, got this one to go next to my boiler.
Simple to use, just pop the batteries in and that’s it.
It can be wall mounted or placed on a shelf etc as suitable.
Simple, idiot proof, well built -
Simple and idiot proof (well an idiot can always prove this statement wrong) but if you’re after a simple carbon monoxide detector, and every home should have one, then this is a neat little solution.
VERY GOOD
This is the 2nd one I have bought . Great Price for peice of mind … Thanks Kiddie …
Seems perfect for the job
We bought this as a safety measure in case of carbon monoxide leaks. Our gas boiler is reasonably new though and working OK so it’s hard to know how good any monitor is until an emergency arises. On test it beeps OK and presumably would do so if there was a problem with carbon monoxide. Good price and reviews when we bought it.
Saved my life. Everyone should have one.
Saved my life and my animals. Went off soooo loud in middle of night. You’d certainly hear it! And it never stopped even outside! Alert was by faulty boiler. Thank you so so much! It continues to flash stably as should now boiler fixed. Thank you well worth.
Carbon Monoxide Alarms
When I read the details on this item, it said 10 years, when I got the product, it said on the box 7 years, however, when I took the product out of the box it said 10 years and it also included batteries which on the box it stated no batteries included. There is space on the bottom of the item to put in the date when bought. Batteries a bit fiddly to fit in, but got there in the end. Instructions to tell you how to test. There are screws etc provided if you want to install, but I just sat mine up high on the top of units, which is where the previous ones were, so didn’t need to use the screws
Still alive
Sits on our dining room table, only time it’s gone off is when my daughter pressed the button and shat all over the floor in fear. We’re all still alive so either there’s no carbon monoxide or we’re just immune to i
Great battery life. Easy to set up.
These were alarms for different areas of the house after we installed additional appliances. The first alarms we bought, about two years ago (same make and model) are still going strong. Batteries included have a good long life. Very easy to set up and install. Delighted.

You have to be sure
Been getting very tired as of late. I also have just had a new boiler fitted. So I just wanted to be sure of no leakage. And they last ten years
Good product - does what it says on the ti
Bought for lounge to monitor carbon monoxide. Nice need product. Would recommend
Genuinely saved my life
This is in the front room near the gas fire. It started bleeping loudly within a few minutes of the gas fire being lit. The gas engineer visited and confirmed the chimney was blocked. The chimney sweep removed 3 sacks full of twigs. So this product genuinely saved my life. An absolute must.
A very versatile CO alarm
I purchased two units to replace ones that were approaching the end of their design life (7 years).
These proved simple to install (simply insert the batteries) and I have one wall mounted and one free standing on a cupboard.
When tested the alarm is reassuringly loud without disturbing the neighbours.
Does the job
Small and easy to hide away, been meaning to get one for so long glad I purchased I feel much safer in the house now knowing I have this thanks. Great price
Does what it says on the tin!
Easy to install, small, discreet. I believe it sets of a small alarm early evening (a little tune!) but haven’t identified it as coming from here yet – maybe to prove it’s working? Similar model to the one it was replacing and that had lasted over 10 years so very good value.
Life save
Every house should have one of these. A potential life saver. Good battery life and easy to use and install. Works exactly as expected
Great for peace of mind
Seems to be working. Two minute set up.
Tells you how to check it works.
I mean – worryingly straightforward for a gadget!
great peace of mind produc
get bought it has it working in minutes now its on a shelf binking at me telling we it works, so great peace of mind having it there as the combi boiler is in my room. ps when you test it wear ear plugs as it will wake the dead
Basic but brillia
Brilliant product, no need for added bells and whistles, simple to use, easy to install and a good size, very loud and solid
Reasonable alarm at a fair price
Handy unit to keep on the mantlepiece above a gas/coal fire.
seems to a good buy
see headline excellent service tennis coverage on amazon out of this world keep it up
Very easy to use
I purchased one off these alarms 10 years ago just replacing it as recommended it has been very good only changed battery first class uni
Excellent for the price.
Well made monitor. Sturdy construction, yet not heavy. Perfect for motor homes and caravans. Can thoroughly recommend.
Great wee safety gadget at a fair price!
Simplicity fit for purpose quality. Let’s see if it lasts 10 years as claimed!
Does the job.
Had one of these for about 15 years, it did the job and eventually failed. Found the exact, same model to repace it and it’s great. If it lasts as long as the first one, I will be pleased.
Quality item
Very good quality, easy to set up with clear instructions, both for setting up and ongoing care and maintenance and what emergency plan to follow in the event the alarm goes off. Batteries are also included so you will be ready to go in no time. Very pleased.
Works?
It is had to see if it works as you would have to test it with corbon monoxide. However it does make a big noise when self tested.
As described
Good alarm. Easy to set up. No problem free-standing on a shelf.
good produc
bought to replace my old Kidde Carbon Monoxide Alarm as it was past its expiry date
We never had any problems with it which is why we chose the same make

Best but CO2 alarm
Easy to install and very reasonable price for a quality product and period gaurantee
Worked well!
We actually did have a small amount of carbon monoxide in our house – caused by using a self-cleaning cycle on an embarrassingly dirty oven – and the alarm was able to pick it up. We called the emergency line to be sure it wasn’t anything more serious, and he measured the carbon monoxide levels, which turned out to be really really low, so I was impressed that the alarm picked this up.
Now I can sleep with ease
Very easy to set us and the instructions was easy to follow! I’m happy it also came with battery too!
Long life, low battery usage.
This is the second Kiddie CO1 alarm we have had, the first one was just short of expiry of date so, as we had excellent use of it we went for another one. The Batteries were still working after 7years.
Easy set up and good produc
Overall easy to set up and good to have for peace of mind. The light on the front offers added reassurance that it’s working.
Very practical
Fair price for good mobile CO alarm. It’s easy to set up and use.
Good quality produc
It wasn’t the cheapest option on the site, but I recognised the manufacturer as being one of the top ones in it’s field and decided that you couldn’t put a price on life and security. Sturdy and easy to install with sensible instructions.
Compact and nee
Neat little package, bit fidley to install, might be awkward to change battery, apart from that I like it so far.
Very important, but easy to fit.
This was a direct replacement for an existing alarm that had reached EOL, so fitting was just taking one off and putting this in its place on the same screws. A quick test and it was all good to go for another 5 – 7 years of protection.
Peace of mind at a good price.
Replacement for a previous CO2 alarm of same make that had passed its expiry date. Works well, is inconspicuous, uses common batteries which last well and is loud enough to be heard anywhere in the house.
Life save
Easy to set up, really REALLY loud! Feel a lot safer with this in my home, hasn’t gone off so assuming its working and its so cheap whats not to like?
Does the job!
Good value for money, excellently packaged, nice loud alarm. And even comes with its own batteries!
Seems to be working
Seems to work. Has not sounded any alarm yet. But that’s a good thing I guess. Mean we are safe. I test it regularly and all works ok.
A Small price to pay for Peace of mind
Get your house kitted out with these and also check your smoke alarms. You may never need them but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Compact size and reliable make.
Placed near the boiler to keep a check on monoxide levels. being small and compact its not a blot on your wall/ceiling!
It works! Thank god I bought i
This alarm has most likely saved my parents lives today. It started alarming and they were able to turn off the fire and call the emergency gas line who came out and made the house safe. I’m certain without this alarm they would have been unaware and sat with the fumes silently killing them . 5 stars from me because it definitely works!
Good
Good, nice pitched sound for if it does alert you to a problem as tested sound to make sure works.
Put it in attic as that’s where boiler is and with attic lid shut can hear it downstairs if it was to alert you of a problem.
Recommended by my Gas Safe enginee
I was warned against some of the cheaper alarms, as they tend to either not go off when needed or go off all the time when not needed. This is the industry standard, apparently.
Seems fine so fa
Not detecting CO so far which is a relief – let’s see how the product lasts over the test of time. So far so good.
Works well.
Had this alarm for some time now.Working well. Placed on shelf next to boiler in rented accommodation. Would recommend
It worked
We bought this item to detect any leaking gas, we tested it out & it was really loud, so ideal with my husband being deaf without his hearing aids in, especially at night.
Peace of mind
Every house should have one of these. It’s a peace of mind knowing you won’t be positioned in your own home. Easy to set up and gives advise on where to place in the house. Highly recommend.
Good
The item does what it says is neat and compact instructions easy to follow.
Very loud and important to have!
It may save your life for under 15. Very loud when alarming. Cannot fault.
Definitely works
Recently had to call out the emergency gas safe board when this device went off. When the gas engineer turned up I was told that there was still a low level of CO in the house after shutting off the gas and opening the windows and doors.
Good produc
Easy to use, and gives peace of mind. Flashing light shows it is working. Very pleased with it.
Happy with the produc
Great buy arrived the next day and very easy to install. I think it’s value for money
Easy to set up
Really easy to set up and install, the only down side I’d give is that the power light is REALLY bright and flashes. I understand the need for this but as this is on display in our bedroom, it becomes quite annoying at night.
Safety Firs
Excellent product. This was purchased to replace the previous one which had come to the end of it’s lifespan. Although an identical model to our previous one, this has a longer life (10 years) and was actually cheaper as well, making it even more affordable to ensure your safety.
Every home should have one
Seems good value for money, every home should have a carbon monoxide alarm
Decent Co2 Alarm
This alarm is quite a popular model already to begin with.
No complaints at all and good value for money.
10 quid can’t go wrong and might save your life if you fall asleep in the sitting room with open fire etc…
Good value for money. Does the job.
Great value for money. Good to have reassurance.
Trouble is, you’ll never know if it works until you have a problem. But that’s the same with all of them.
My chimney sweep managed to set it off during the annual clean so I’m happy!
Should have sent the bill to the landlord…. but it was only a tenner.
Grand job!
Arrived quickly, came with batteries separate, easy to install, came with wall fittings but I used command strips so I didn’t have to drill holes. Nice and discrete but great peace of mind
