Carbon monoxide (CO) alarms detect the early presence of carbon monoxide emitted from gas sources such as heating and cooking systems, vehicle engines, fuels and blocked chimneys. Can be used in boats Caravans. CO alarms are intended to supplement conventional smoke alarms, not replace them. A CO alarm is not a smoke alarm and, therefore, will not satisfy legal requirements regarding the installation of smoke alarms in the home.

Can be installed anywhere – not specific to kitchens.

    The free shipping isn't bad, but IF you can pick up then the item can be had cheaper, and you could price beat at Bunnings too (the Bunnings model is slightly different, says "worry free" might not be able to price beat there).

    For example, $34.99 @ Anaconda plus you get a $5 voucher for C@C ( https://www.anacondastores.com/camping-hiking/health-safety/…? )

      Someone woke up grumpy this morning

      • Not really, OP has posted enough (low quality) deals to know the correct format.

  • I bought one from this deal. A few months later, I tested it by placing it next to the stove and releasing some gas, but it didn’t respond. I’m unsure if it’s faulty.

      Gas stoves dont release carbon monoxide above a threshold for these alarms to go off - that is not a way to test it. Nor is placing it at your car's exhaust if your car has a catalytic converter. A lot of people seem to make these basic mistakes.

      The proper way to test a carbon monoxide sensor is with a gas bottle of low-concentration carbon monoxide. I had one of these, briefly, a few years ago, specifically for testing a CO sensor in some electronics I was designing. I was concerned about safety, knowing how deadly CO can be, and was told "it contains CO in a concentration high enough to trigger the sensor, but low enough that if it leaked, the worst symptom you'd get would be a headache".

      Sorry, I don't know where to get such an item. I was loaned the gas bottle by the company who asked me to design the electronics with the gas sensor.

      You could try lighting a candle, placing it into a large glass jar, and putting a plate or a glass sheet on top of the jar to close it. The burning candle will consume all the oxygen in the jar and go out, and as the oxygen supply is limited, in theory that should produce some carbon monoxide. Wait a minute or two after the candle wick stops producing smoke, then open the jar, put the carbon monoxide sensor inside, and quickly put the plate back on top of the jar. In theory this should work, but YMMV. This procedure isn't entirely safe, do it outside the house, on concrete, and keep a fire extinguisher handy - just in case anything goes wrong. The candle might re-light and set your sensor on fire!

  • Quell sucks major ass. Installed 2 of these at my grandmas a few years ago and were nothing but problems.
    Got 2 replacements and same issue.

    • A relative of mine is having a similar problem. Bought three, and a few years later, one randomly makes occasional full-volume "beeps" in the middle of the night. It's still inside the "use by" date written on the back of the sensor.

      But they are smoke sensors, not carbon monoxide sensors, so carbon monoxide sensors may not be as unreliable.

    I had one of these but had to remove it, the constant alarm was giving me a terrible headache

  • I've been using one of these for about 4 years with no issues. I bought it because I have ducted gas heating. I remove the batteries in the warmer months and I hope it will extend the life of the unit.

  • Looking for a WIFI smoke and CO alarm/detector. Wifi being 2.4/5ghz not RF linked and not zigbee/zwave. Do you sell these or has anyone found one?

    Particularly one that integrates in to Home Assistant.

    Thanks

  • Test weekly… id rather a set and forget one
