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 SCO5CN carbon monoxide and smoke alarm uses an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor-the most accurate technology available. The alarm uses photoelectric smoke sensing technology which is environmentally friendlier and which reduces nuisance alarms, making it ideal for cooking areas. It is also great for sensing slow smoldering fires quickly. The permanent sensors last the lifetime of the alarm. The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and allows you to test the unit's functionality. The alarm uses different 85-decibel horns and lights depending on whether it's alerting you to smoke or carbon monoxide. A low battery signal alerts you to replace the battery and end-of-life alarm of three chirps alerts you to replace the unit. Two AA batteries are included. 5-year limited warranty. UL listed. Not available for sale in Massachusetts.--Bree Norlander What's in the Box
One combination carbon monoxide and smoke alarm, two AA batteries, and user's manual

 Good price and easy to install February 28, 2010
Mike Gunn (san francisco, ca)
Good price for this product.
It replaces an older unit from a different company that had died and refused to stop beeping regardless of the battery that was put in it.
I assume that if I do not die in my sleep from smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide poisoning, the unit works as it should.
If I do die in my sleep because it failed, I'll figure out how to update this review from the great beyond. Wish me luck!
 Blessed Relief January 20, 2010
Bargain Hunter 33 (Effingham, Il, US)
Had an alarm located near the kitchen using the ionization technology. It was driving me crazy with false alarms. I couldn't even use the toaster without the thing going into full panic, necessitating me having to leave my food preparations and charge around to silence the alarm. The unit lasted only a year...no surprise under the circumstances. While researching for a replacement I came to realize that the photoelectric technology would more likely be better for said location. Plus, I found that it was wise to use both types in the home. Since getting this alarm, I have had no false alarms while cooking and now have the satisfaction of having both types, since the ionization ones are in other areas of the home. Now, if this one just works when there is a true kitchen alert needed, I'm all set.
 3 Chirps means failure January 13, 2010
John
Within 2 months of installing the alarm began intermittently emitting the "3 chirps" alarm, which means that the unit is bad and must be replaced. Very annoying and a waste!
junk January 11, 2010

I bought two of these last year. Within a few months, we started getting false alarms. Three chirps in a row. Sometimes they would stop on their own. Other times, I would have to take them down, take out the batteries, and hang it up again later.
Each time, I tested the batteries. Each time, they were fine. I ever replaced the batteries a couple of times, just to be sure.
Don't buy these. They'll drive you to drink.
Dead after a month December 18, 2009
W. M. Barber (Augusta, GA USA)
Like other reviews mine starting chirping saying to replace the alarm after only a month or two. I didn't bother calling to get a replacement. I tried to get an inexpensive smoke / co detector and got burned by a crappy product - ironic...
