120-volt AC plug-in carbon monoxide alarm
Uses electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor--the most accurate technology available
Amazon.com Product DescriptionCarbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America, yet many people don't know they are suffering from CO poisoning until its too late. Since symptoms of CO poisoning are like the flu, you might not even know you're in danger at first. That's why a carbon monoxide alarm is an excellent way to protect your family. It can detect the CO you can't see, smell or taste in the air.
The First Alert CO600 carbon monoxide alarm uses an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor-the most accurate technology available. Installation is as simple as plugging it in to any wall outlet. The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm and allows you to test the unit's functionality. The unit monitors and re-alarms if carbon monoxide levels persist sounding a loud 85-decibel horn. UL listed.--Bree Norlander

What Others Say
Not UL Listed "what's up with that..."
I bought this first alert CO alarm for my home in Wisconsin.
When I started to read the instructions I found that First Alert CO600 Plug In Carbon Monoxide Alarm is not UL list! How can a safety item like this not be UL listed.
I did some research and found out first alert changed testing labs to save a few bucks and do not use the most well known UL. What's up with that...
So I returned this CO and purchased the Kidde KN-COB-DP-H Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Alarm. The Kidde unit cost less too, so I saved a few dollars! Always pays to READ THE FINE PRINT.
second lousy first alert co detector
This is the second First Alert Carbon Monoxide detector we've owned. The first went out in 6 months. This model went out in 1 month. The alarm kept going off. I moved a Kidde model into the room and it showed no carbon monoxide in the air. We chucked the First Alerts into the trash!
carbon monoxide detector
This is a wonderful product, it works as the manufacturer said it would. It was easy to install, and gives peace of mind where the threat of carbon monoxide is concerned. Like any other product of this sort, there is a minimum amount of maintenance weekly to make sure the unit is operating properly. I have had other carbon monoxide detectors, but this unit is by far the best. I give it five stars, and would give it more if possible.
makes me feel better, but....
I'm never quite sure if it's working right. I came home one day and it was beeping every couple of minutes so I opened the window and left for a little while. Then it stopped beeping. I'm still here, so I guess it was okay. Read the manual, I lost mine.
