Customer Reviews for Kidde Code One Smoke Detector, Battery Powered with Ionization Sensor, Smoke Alarm

The smell is like in a country heaven.

Plugged it in, and it didn’t give me a headache immediately, not sure I can really say if it works or not, as my house has not had a fire. I can say it was easy to buy, and easy to install.

These smoke detectors are smaller than the Kidde ones from a decade ago. (See photo with ruler) The brackets have holes so you can use a string or wire to hang the detector from a nail instead of screwing the bracket to the wall or ceiling. I tested all four of these detectors that I bought and all four detected smoke. The brackets are easy to install. I wrote the installation date on the fronts of some of the detectors so I can reference it easily. Had them for a day, so far so good.

I just bought these 9 months ago. Today, I walked into my house and the alarm was going off. Worried, holding my baby, I immediately left my house and called the fire department. These detectors or "defectors" are old and from 2014! I definitely didn't get my money's worth out of them. Extremely disappointed!

This Kidde Battery Operated Smoke Detector met our needs perfectly. Easy to install. Great price and product all the way around.

axcellent product very practical and economical and easy to install

great price and work great. Easy to mount. I like the blinking led light which isn't too often to be annoying. Comes with everything you need.

Easy to install, I like the smaller size so not too obtrusive, great price.

Slightly smaller in diameter than the usual ones, but works just as well.

Bought enough to replace all of the outdated ones in the house. They are smaller in diameter and more flush to the ceiling. These smaller detectors will expose at least one of the mounting holes from our previous larger ones. We planned on repainting to fix the holes.

I use these in rental properties they are inexpensive and easy to replace when taken down and thrown away by tennant. The base stays on the wall just snap on another one. No need for tools

Very happy with this product. My old one never sure if it was working. This one you can test it and you know it is working. Can be mounted on wall, outlet , or stand for table.

These alarms are working fine so far (after about 4 months). The previous hard wired units were giving false alarms quite often. It was easy to install a regular outlet for these and I like the readout that shows if it's detecting anything and how much.

This was bought to replace an ancient Nighthawk that we bought back in the late 90s early 2000s. The explosive gas detection helped with peace of mind when we bought and moved an old farm house and were not sure the old appliances were safe. Great device!

I purchased this unit after my wife woke me up and told me she thought she smelled gas. After being up the rest of the night assuring her she didn’t I drove to Home Depot and picked up this combination Gas/Carbon Monoxide detector unit. I tested it with an open gas valve and it works well. The alarm emits a very loud piercing blast that is sure to wake up even the soundest sleeper. Having an alkaline 9 volt battery (included) backup; it can be unplugged and moved from room to room for testing. You can plug it right into a 110 volt outlet or slide out a built in stand and sit it on the counter. I have used a Nighthawk Carbon Monoxide detector for several years with no problems. In my opinion this combination unit is a very small price to pay for a good night of sleep.

An easy, no brain er to protect your family. I read the instructions to know what to expect and plugged it in. That simple. Yes, there is a shelf life and I'll have to replace it in years to come, but I'm fine with that. I really like that it is outside my HVAC closet monitoring to two items that concern me at that location.

Plugs into the wall socket. A little large. Seems to be good quality.

CO2 detectors are becoming more mainstream and unfortunately house explosions seemingly more frequent. Just 2 years ago not far from our residence an older couple lost their lives when their home exploded as they slept. Our century home is well over 100 and the hot water heat boiler (slated for replacement when finances permit) should be in a museum. The boiler and all mechanical systems are regularly maintained but never leave anything to chance. The CO2 / explosive gas detector makes perfect sense. After reading the reviews this detector was purchased and installed in a handy wall outlet at the top of the stairs right outside our bedroom. An unlit propane torch provided a gas "leak" source and the unit responded in a timely manner. I have no doubt the CO2 detection is as responsive. The unit has a pull-out tab on the backside to stabilize the unit against the wall. This tab needs a firmer lock as the unit is frequently bumped due to the location of the wall outlet right at the end of the stair handrail. The stabilizing tab consistently retracts with the slightest bump. Other than that minor annoyance the unit gives peace of mind. The recent price reduction was a nice plus.

The product has Night Hawk technology which our fire dept suggest a carbon monoxide alarm have. It is easy to read, has a battery back up and is reasonably priced. We have one in our lower level, main level and upstairs level of our home. The carbon monoxide/gas alarm combination is the best way to go.

good product, and the price is comparable then other vendors.

We ordered the smoke alarms for the hosie we are remodeling online so we were never able to see them in person first. When we first opened the box we were surprised to see how small they were. But for the price they will do the trick.

Easy to install and test

Product was compact,easy to install. Just what I needed.

Nice size. Easy to install.
