First Alert CO710 Carbon Monoxide Detector with 10-Year Battery and Digital Temperature Display, White | CO710

We never travel without this carbon monoxide detector! Most places we stay don’t have one, so we always bring our own. On our Leopard 40 catamaran, we keep one in every cabin plus the salon and galley, and we also take one along when staying in Airbnb or Vrbo rentals. The one time we didn’t bring it was while hiking Acatenango in Guatemala. After a 7-hour climb to base camp, we were freezing and exhausted when our guide lit a fire. Smoke filled the tiny hut and we woke up with splitting headaches -classic carbon monoxide exposure. That scary moment taught us a lesson: no matter where we go, even up a mountain, this detector comes with us. The battery lasts a long time, the digital temperature display is a great bonus, and the alarm is loud enough to wake you immediately. Durable, reliable, and truly a must have for safety at home, on a boat, or while traveling. Highly recommend!

The detector is exactly as advertised with clear instructions for the simple installation. Even the fasteners are included. The 10 year life battery is a welcome feature.

Works great. Being powered by a long life battery you can place it anywhere you want it.

I purchased this carbon monoxide detector when I started traveling frequently to central America where they are less likely to have them in hotels and vacation rentals. A few scary news articles convinced me this would be worth bringing along and I have to say, it provides great peace of mind. I bring it on every trip now and it takes up very little space. I always travel carry-on only and feel it has earned it's spot in my suitcase. I've been using it for several years now and it continues to work perfectly on the initial battery I installed, haven't had to replace it yet. Great value for the money.

Must have been 10 years, almost to the day, that my old First Alert detector started beeping. Yeah, these last a long time on their internal power supply. I didn't shop for any other brand/model since the first one did such a good job of keeping us safe for so long. Instructions are provided and very thorough, so you'll be setting this up very quickly. The location was kept the same as the older model and was originally chosen from the list of recommended places by the manufacturer.
