"I normally have a carbon monoxide detector that plugs into the wall and takes up the whole outlet. I like how this you can just set anywhere and move it out of the way really. The display is super easy to read and is pretty easy to figure out. There is a 10 year battery so you don’t have to worry about it for a while."
"My family's safety is my number one priority. I have a carbon monoxide detector in every room. However, those aren't as easy to operate as the First Alert. It's runs on battery power unlike the other detectors, it doesn't need to be plugged in. Super easy to activate and digital temperature display is an added bonus feature."
"Easy to use, dependable brand, and really like the battery backup feature. Great product and it gives me comfort and confidence that this will help protect me and my family case of a carbon monoxide leak. High pitch noise that is easy to here. Highly recommend. Dont wait, go get one."

Carbon monoxide is not heavier than air. The diffusion of carbon monoxide in air is relatively even, meaning that a source of carbon monoxide can distribute the gas evenly throughout the room and house. When installing a carbon monoxide alarm, choose a location where the alarm will stay clean, and out of the way of children or pets. See User's Manual for specific installation requirements.
Silence the alarm. Move everyone immediately to fresh air-outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Call your emergency services, fire department, or 911 and tell them your carbon monoxide alarm has triggered. Do not re-enter the premises or move away from the open door or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your carbon monoxide alarm remains in its normal condition.
No, a single function carbon monoxide alarm reacts to carbon monoxide only. To detect explosive gas, you need an explosive gas detector. Different kinds of explosive gas can be detected and it is recommended that any home that utilizes natural or propane gas have at least one explosive gas leak detector.
On First Alert carbon monoxide alarms, the red light flashes to show the CO alarm is properly receiving battery power. If you do not see the red light flashing, change the batteries in the alarm immediately.
The following procedure is the proper way to do a carbon monoxide alarm test - Press and hold the Test Button on the front of the alarm until the alarm sounds. Be sure you hold the button down long enough; it can take up to 20 seconds for the alarm to respond to the test.
