Carbon 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.

|Simple to use, works well,
I purchased this for my Mom, who has a very low tolerance for any type of electronics that has more than one button. This fits the bill perfectly — just plug it in, and it works. Other models have more advanced features, such as a digitial display or a batter backup, but if you’re looking for simplicity and a low cost, this is a great choice.

|No Brainer!,
I chose this alarm because it was the easiest to use. Just plug it in and that’s it. I have a gas fireplace and was told that I needed a carbon monoxide detector. Plugged into a regular outlet, it has a dim light to let you know that it’s working and you can test the monitor at any time to make sure it’s “alarmed.” Hopefully, I’ll never have to see how well the monitor works in an emergency but I feel safer knowing that I have one.
