Don’t buy this
Like all the other reviews say it goes to low battery as soon as you set it up. Following the directions and the suggestions from the company on here does nothing. Remove the red cover and push the lever in flush. Waste of time and money when the manufacturer obviously knows there’s an issue with the device. Allowing these to be sold is a joke.

Hello Jim,
When installing your worry free alarm, the mounting bracket activates the battery. A helpful hint in activating the battery is to have the mount that the unit came with in one hand and the unit in the other. Put the unit on the mounting bracket and , like you are opening a child guard cap on a prescription, press the unit into the mounting bracket and turn. You will hear a "beep" when the battery activates. You can now finish the install of your worry free unit.

Great plug-in CO detector. I like that you can easily plug it in to the wall outlet, It works fine. It has a battery back-up in case of a power outage.

Our HVAC tech recommended a monitor in the room closest our natural gas furnace and detectors elsewhere in the house when we had our system serviced this spring. The nightlight is a nice bonus, the brightness is adjustable and can be set for automatic or always on. The monitor is supposed to alarm when detected carbon monoxide reaches a certain level, hopefully we will never have to find out how well it works. I will have to update my review after using the furnace this winter.

I've only had this a couple weeks, so I can't really judge this product's effectiveness, and hope I will never have to find out if it works. But I love the idea of a 10-year battery and the fact that it plugs in. Mine is plugged into an outlet that is horizontal to the floor, and the plug turns so that it can be plugged in vertically in a horizontal outlet. This all makes it very easy to use. So far, there have been no annoying false alarms at all Endless beeping is the worst thing any smoke/CO detector can do. When detectors constantly go off at random, I end up just disconnecting them.

I bought this detector for use in my bedroom. It plugs in to power outlet and has a permanent battery installed for backup. This detector will let you know when the 10 year life is up and it then needs to be replaced with a new detector. I also wanted the digital readout of the level of CO that has been detected. The voice alert is just a bonus although it does add to the price. I like that this plugs in to 120vac outlet so there is no need for batteries.

Peace of Mind
Having a gas furnace and gas fireplace necessitates having a CO detector you can rely on. We have no way of knowing if our old CO detector is still functioning so it's great to have this one just in case. This one has a test function and battery back-up for ten years. There is a place on the side to note the date you will need to replace - good idea! We placed this in the hallway leading to all of our bedrooms and the dusk to dawn automatic night light is great too. There is a test button as well and this unit is very loud.

AC Powered. No Worries
The Kidde 10 year worry free carbon Monoxide alarm is a great hallway detector. It is powered by AC with a battery back up. It also is equipped with a night light that auto-activates in low light conditions. It's simply plug and play, with a peak level test button. The auto dimming digital readout provides continuous monitoring of CO levels and adjusts brightness in low light conditions. This is not a smoke detector, but a great Carbon Monoxide alarm.

Safety is Key
This is very nicely designed alarm and I have always trusted Kidde brand products. I placed this unit in the master bedroom as I already have a unit in my hallway. I really like the design of the night light which is very bright and a great size. I do have a gas fireplace in my home and have always felt that it is better to safe than sorry.The alarm is very loud and certainly will awaken you if asleep which is great as I am a light sleeper and feel this will notify me in a timely manner.

Poor Directions and Design
I originally reviewed this, and did not 'recommend' it, and gave it 2 Stars. After reviewing it, I saw the major 'worry' I had with it, was addressed in the Q&A.
When you get this, there is a red cap on the plug side. It states, "REMOVE BEFORE USE". Under the cap is a switch that sticks out a little less than the plug. When you plug in the alarm, the switch pushes in. I assumed, by the instructions, section 4, this activates the battery backup? Problem is, section 6 shows this switch as the Discharge switch, and the figure shows it still being out; it is to be pushed in to drain the battery for disposal at end of life. I had no idea, if it will pop out in 10 years, and then I push it back in, or if it is already discharging, or the figure is wrong and you have to push it in farther to discharge it? The Q&A states, 'If you push that button in further, it will permanently deactivate the alarm'.
My remaining problem ... this is marketed as a Hallway Alarm. Hallways, by definition, are a passage between rooms, and typically have limited sunlight. My hallway has two windows, but the outlet is not near them. Even though the hallway has sunlight, the sensor is not sensitive enough to pick it up. So, the night light never turns off. If I put it on an extension cord, and bring it over by a window, the night light shuts off. I can switch the night light off, but at night I want it on. Hence the reason I bought the model with a night light. Either I have an extension cord in my hallway for 10 years, or a light that never turns off for 10 years, or switch it off and go buy another night light?
I like that the plug rotates 90 degrees, and the night light is dimmable ... but the dual purpose kill switch needs better explaining, and the 'Hallway' light sensors needs to be more sensitive, or better yet, adjustable. If you have a sunny hallway, you will love it.
