The Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector, Propane, Natural, & Explosive Gas Alarm, Plug-In Wall with 9-Volt Battery Backup, Digital LED Display uses electrochemical sensor technology to detect poisonous carbon monoxide, methane gas, sewer gas, propane gas or natural gas in your home and alerts you by sounding an 85-decibel alarm & displaying the amount of carbon monoxide detected or stating "gas" on the digital display when detecting explosive gas. Setup is easy as the Kidde carbon monoxide alarm plugs into a standard, 120V AC power outlet in your home, while a 9-volt alkaline battery (included) works as a backup in the event of a power failure. When carbon monoxide is detected, the digital display shows the level of carbon monoxide the alarm is sensing and updates every 15 seconds. Peak Level Memory records the last time carbon monoxide was detected or when the unit was tested. The Smart-Hush button silences the unit for approximately 8 minutes, which is helpful when this smoke detector carbon monoxide detector combo sounds from things like routine cooking or shower steam. Extension cord (included) allows for placement on a table or shelf. Install a carbon monoxide smoke detector combo on every level of your home and near bedrooms to help keep your family safe. UL Certified with a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

Title: A no-brainer – works well, good price, good quality, great peace of mind
Review: I have used several of these for several years. In one area of my home I have one near a fireplace with a gas insert and in a central portion of my home. It is a great peace of mind to know that both carbon dioxide and all forms of natural gas will be monitored. I think the price is fair. The quality is good. The unit is substantial and simple to use. Can ask better than that.

Title: Does not detect gas leak directly from the source.
Review: I thought that this detector would detect a gas leak directly from the source. Apparently it does not. Not sure why not. So it was a little misleading. They should state that in the ad. I needed a different product altogether. It measures over time and in a saturated environment, for example when the room is full of gas.A little confused by that.As the volatile gases and carbon monoxide are lighter than air it should be mounted higher up on the wall, or even perhaps a ceiling mount. I don't think it was possible to mount this on the ceiling. It also has a panel that slides out so that you can just set it on a table, or up high on a shelf.An extension cord will definitely come in handy with this one. I really think they should make that clear that this is meant to be mounted higher up. And unlike a smoke detector, it must be plugged in. The battery is purely meant for a very short term back up. The battery it came with only lasted may a day, possibly 2. Batteries are bad for the environment anyhow, so figure it out with some sort of extension cord.Really every house should have something like this. But it is way too expensive for a regular person. I get that your life is worth the money, but I can't see many people buying these, and those who need it the most probably won't be able to afford it. The government should give vouchers for products like these for those who can't afford it.Paid $54.90usd not including tax in 12/2023. Price seems consistent now over a month later.

Title: A lot of misinformation in negative reviews
Review: I didn't have a natural gas detector so I got this one to put in my basement, which is the only place in my home with natural gas. Installation is easy, just plug it in. The plug portion can be removed from the back of the unit and the main part located at a different level than the plug. Natural gas is lighter than air and propane is heavier so they recommend that it be located high in the room if you have natural gas and low if you have propane.A lot of the negative reviewers don't appear to understand when the unit is supposed to sound the alarm. Carbon monoxide is poisonous at high concentrations. Natural gas and propane are not poisonous but can be explosive at high concentrations, the levels are well established. At very high concentrations they can cause suffocation because they displace oxygen.The packaging says that it might take up to 4 hours to sound depending on the concentration of CO, this is consistent with the UL standard. In fact a unit would fail the UL test if it went off within 30 days when there are low levels of CO. This is to minimize nuisance alarms, the alarm wouldn't do any good if people got frustrated and disabled it. The gas detector alarm is specified to sound by the time the concentration reaches 25%, this is below the explosive threshold. Just because there is a heavy gas odor doesn't mean there is an immediate danger. One negative reviewer tried to test it with a cigarette lighter, which typically use butane. This unit is only specified to test for natural gas (methane) and propane. The warranty is 5 years, the unit will stop working after 7 years and should be replaced. This is a safety feature, not planned obsolescence.
