Note: You get 1 smoke detector and 1 CO detector in the pack. I read the description as each unit does both. (I didn't read closely!) But Kidde makes good detectors and this is still a very good deal.

CO2 Review
----------------------

This is one of those items you assume works because it doesn't go off and sounds when tested.

The unit was still on the original batteries which, after testing, showed were still well charged but switched the out just in case. No change, still getting the dreaded 30 second beep after initial power-up which the label clearly states "After seven years from initial power up, this unit will 'chirp' every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY! IT WILL NOT DETECT CO IN THIS CONDITION!"

If this trend keeps up we will buying a unit every 15 months which is no where near the SEVEN years indicated on the label.

Kidde we would happily pay a few dollars extra for a unit from a country of origin where quality still reigns.

Smoke Alarm Review
----------------------
This unit is still passing it's tests and has been 'used' a few times due to young, aspiring chefs going for well done :)

Mine could be a dud, but I've had this smoke detector for a couple of months ago and I've noticed that it seems super sensitive. I can't heat my oven above 400 degrees without it going off (and yes, my oven is clean). I need to take it down and move it into the other room whenever I cook. I guess the bright side is I know it works.

Order Kidde KN-COSM-B or KN-COSM-XTR-B if you want a Carbon Monoxide and Fire and Smoke alarm in the same alarm. The KN-COB-B order number has two separate alarms using two different kinds of batteries.

Price is good. Replaced the units in camper that very hot at times and no false alarms.

Kidde Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors are of high quality. This name brand is sold in my local stores, however, the prices are much higher than at Amazon.com.

Still works and this type of detector is supposed to have 2 different kinds of sensors, which is rated higher than ones with just one.

I ordered two of these combo CO / Smoke Detector sets, the CO detectors are supposed to come with a tabletop stand which would eliminate unnecessarily drilling holes into walls, neither of the two sets I ordered included the stand, what are these, reject sets ???

Since I've had these 2 alarms, I've apparently not had smoke nor carbon monoxide in my home because they haven't gone off. Kinda hard to assess how they work until I have one of those problems but they both are easy to set up.
