Good price for a CO detector though found this comment on an Amazon review...
- It does not appear to be certificated to conform to BSI or Euro standards. Mudder claim that it is "calibrated" to EN 50291 but that's not quite the same thing. If I were, for example, a landlord installing a CO alarm in a rental property, I think I would want to cover myself legally by fitting a fully certified device.

we have one of these but I'm sceptical of it now. the exact same design is rebranded by lots of different companies. also some of them have poor reviews. I think I will be replacing ours for a good recognised brand like Kidde etc. I genuinely could not recommend this simply as it's rebranded over and over again with companies you have never heard of. also ours scoffs batteries. lucky if we get 4-5 months until the low battery warning starts.
buy a recognised brand. hope this helps and sorry to be negative about it.

Cold. £5.09 on ebay. Without the logo someone decided to stick on it
As for the nay sayers, I bought 2 of these and as with ALL safety devices I made sure I thoroughly tested them before installing them! (This included an electronic test (test button) and more importantly a REAL-WORLD test which is easily done with a pyrex bowel and a few candles)
Both my C02 alarms passed multiple tests and I was pleasantly surprised how sensitive they were.
Make sure you test safety devices regularly, even expensive 'branded' devices fail !!!

Cheap & carbon monoxide alarm are two words I would avoid in the same sentence. Get a branded alarm from a reliable scorce. EG Argos, Amazon direct, home base, it is not worth the risk.

Not really correct as you can get the exact same branded alarms (ie Kidde, Fireangel & Firehawk) from reputable sellers much cheaper on eBay and Amazon.

Maybe better to go for for one with an integrated smoke alarm? The Kidde KID10SCO Voice Combinaton Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm, which the listing states is "BSI certified to EN14604:2005 (Smoke). BSI certified to EN50291-1:2010 (Carbon monoxide)." is £17.50.
I personally wouldn't touch it if not BSI standard. cold for me

Just a word of warning if anyone is thinking of this for a rental property. All landlords in Scotland are now duty bound to provide a carbon monoxide detector with an integrated long life battery. This means that even if a CO detector with removable batteries has previously been supplied, it must be exchanged for a unit with a sealed long life battery.

Thanks. I have one of this for the past 2 years with no battery issues. I used Duracell and they keep going fine. I check it once in a while with a test alarm and works fine so far!

Rip off price for what is a re-badged generic C02 tester!
Save yourself some dollar and grab the same thing here for less than half the price!!

buy once and have the confidence in the product
He had a very good look at it actually and even read through the manual that came with it. I'm just saying what he told me. Don't shoot the messenger.
Thanks for the links tho. Interesting reading. :smiley:

Would avoid.
Spend a bit more and get one that is kitemark certified (on the basis your life is worth more than the ~£4 difference)
