Amazon.com Product Description
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. It can detect the CO you can't see, smell or taste in the air. The First Alert GCO1CN combination explosive gas and carbon monoxide alarm uses an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor-the most accurate technology available. It also detects natural gas, methane gas, and propane gas. Installation is as simple as plugging it in to any wall outlet or mounting it above an outlet and plugging in the higher line cord. Its easy-to-read large digital display gives you a clear readout of current hazard and levels. A peak level button alerts you to the highest level of explosive gas or carbon monoxide detected. The alarm includes a battery back-up giving you peace of mind in a power outage. The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and allows you to test the unit's functionality. The unit monitors and alarms if carbon monoxide or explosive gas levels persist sounding a loud 85-decibel horn. A low battery signal alerts you to replace the 9-volt battery (included). UL listed. --Bree NorlanderWhat's in the Box One combination carbon monoxide and explosive gas alarm, one 9-volt battery, and user's manual |

You'll go broke replacing the batteries by Perpetual Student (Michigan)  2 Stars
October 17, 2009
This is the worst $50 I've ever spent. I HATE this alarm. Although it's plugged into the wall, you also have to install a 9 volt battery. Most devices that have a battery back up don't drain the battery while the unit is plugged in. Not this alarm! I probably go through 3-4 9 volt batteries each winter. And if the battery starts to lose it's charge, or you dare to leave the battery out, the alarm beeps every few minutes.
Another important thing to note about this alarm... although it can carbon monoxide and natural gas, you're supposed to mount the device at different heights depending on the gas you're trying to detect. In other words, it does'nt really serve it's dual purpose.
Although I've already lost the $50, I'll be buying a different alarm for this season. I can't take dealing with its battery problems anymore.

First Alert GC01CN Plug In Combonation Explosive Gas/Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Back Up by Pat P (Jackson, NJ)  3 Stars
January 27, 2009
I chose this product because I wanted to have a battery back up for the alarm in case of an electrical failure. I was surprised that the battery that came with the product had expired before the date of manufacture of the product. Also, the door on the unit does not completely line up in order to completely close. When I called about these two issues, they did not offer to send another battery and told me as long as the door goes down, it's good enough. So, I guess the only thing I should be concerned with is that the alarm works when necessary -- and, hopefully, it will.

Works GREAT and has battery backup by Stanley Kuzak (Pgh. PA) 5 Stars
May 17, 2008
Better safe than sorry. Best price I could find anywhere including
on e-Bay. We have all gas appliances, furnace, hot water tank, and clothes dryer so have one in the washroom/furnace room and another in the kitchen.
Had a Kidde brand before I bought the First Alert and it was constantly going off with false detections which I had verified by my gas company.
Both of the First Alerts work just fine.

A lot of false alarms by Lisa W. Merritt  1 Stars
January 02, 2008
I have received a lot of false alarms with this product. The first time the carbon monoxide alarm went off, I had the fire department out here within minutes thinking we had a big problem. They found nothing in the house. Since then, the alarm sounds about 4 times a week, all false alarms. I've moved the placement of the monitor several times as per the instructions, but it still gives a lot of false alarms.
