Review of the First Alert CO605 Carbon Monoxide Alarm

What is it?

The First Alert CO605 is a device that plugs into your wall to protect you from carbon monoxide (CO), which is a dangerous gas you can't see or smell. It's like a smoke detector, but for CO. It uses a special sensor to detect CO and sounds a loud alarm if there's too much in the air.

This alarm is easy to use because it just plugs into an electrical outlet. This makes it good for houses, apartments, and anywhere people live. It even has a battery backup, so it still works if the power goes out. That helps you feel safe all the time.

What's Cool About It?

One of the best things about the CO605 is how easy it is to set up. You don't need any tools or special skills. Just plug it in! Plus, it will beep when the battery is getting low, so you know when to change it. This helps make sure it’s always working.

It also has a button you can push to test the alarm and make sure it's working. If the alarm goes off by accident (like if you're cooking), you can press the same button to silence it. This makes it simple to use and keep working well.

How Well Does it Work?

The First Alert CO605 does a good job of finding carbon monoxide. The sensor is designed to pick up even small amounts of CO in the air, which is important for keeping you safe. When it finds CO, the alarm is really loud (85 decibels) – loud enough to wake you up and tell you to take action.

You can depend on this alarm to keep watching for carbon monoxide in your home. It’s built to last and work reliably, so you can feel safer knowing it’s there.

Questions You Might Have

Q: How often do I need to change the batteries?

A: It's a good idea to change the batteries at least once a year to make sure the alarm always works.

Q: Can I put these alarms in different rooms?

A: Yes, putting CO605 alarms in different rooms will give you better protection from carbon monoxide throughout your house.

Q: Does this alarm show the CO level on a screen?

A: No, the CO605 doesn't have a screen that shows the CO level. It will just sound the alarm if there's too much CO.

Overall, the First Alert CO605 Carbon Monoxide Alarm is a simple and good way to protect your home from the dangers of carbon monoxide. It’s easy to install, works well, and has simple features that make it a good choice for keeping your home safe.
