Fire Safety Review

The Kidde KN-COSM-B is a combination of a smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm. It is equipped with the Nighthawk sensor, the latest electrochemical technology available. It is battery operated and has a talking alarm. The talking alarm announces what the alarm is so that you know what the cause is. The alarm is loud enough to hear when you are sleeping. Along with the voice, there is a horn that sounds also. This is also UL listed. This device is powerful enough to do the job of 2 alarms. It has a safety net, if the batteries are not in the alarm, it cannot be mounted. Another good thing about this unit is that it is affordable.

Seems a bit flimsy, not sure how comfortable I’ll be if I have to actually use it. Directions say only good for one use…(read more)

I didn’t read the fine print until we got the box – this ladder can only be used once, which means no practice in how to use it or using it in a fire drill. How are you supposed to be ready…(read more)

I wish I would have gotten this years ago and I’m lucky that I haven’t needed it. The construction is high quality and should work with no problems. I wish it would be easy to practice…(read more)

The Kidde KN-COPP-3 is another detector of carbon monoxide, that is UL listed. It is an electrical device that plugs in but also has a battery for back-up. So that means that it will still function during a power outage. It also has a digital display for easy reading. There is a button used to reset or test. There is a warning alarm when the battery needs replacing. This unit gained high reviews by Consumer Reports, a huge consumers’ advocate. This model got high ratings for recognizing high and low levels of carbon monoxide. The 9-volt battery is included. This would be a good choice that is affordable.
