Item would only work by using test button when item was actually exposed to smoke. It would not function.

I burnt a piece of paper right under it. No alarm sounded. I then blew out the fire, and let the smoke pervade the alarm. There was still no alarm nor detection of the smoke nor fire.

I have an old (OLD!) furnace, and I have carbon monoxide detectors all over my house to help me stay safe. It's an advantage to also have them function as smoke detectors, as this one does. I have an old house with few electrical outlets, so it's also an advantage to me to have these detectors work with batteries instead of being plugged in, and the batteries are included. They're a smaller size so easy to tuck into various locations. It's hard to say if they will work as expected since I've had neither fire nor CO problems (that I know of) so far, but a test with a smoking bit of paper did set them off.I noticed that the Amazon listing for this item has changed. The ones I received do not have an app or Bluetooth connectivity. I also suspect they have different batteries, since the one in the listing says it is a 10-year battery while the batteries in the alarms I received are standard AA batteries that need to be changed regularly.

I am a fire fighter, and am amazed at the number of people who do not have a carbon monoxide detector in their homes. Most people do have a smoke detector, but often no batteries, or 20+ years old. They were installed when the house was built. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors last up to 10 years. Luckily they are not expensive or hard to replace when needed, but you need to replace them!This is a two pack, comes with everything you need. Instructions show where to install them. You put in the anchors, if needed, and screw it into place with two screws. The unit comes with batteries installed. They are wrapped in plastic, so you need to take the plastic off the batteries, hit "test" to make sure it works, and screw it onto the mounting bracket. Test monthly, if it is beeping replace the batteries (or yearly is best). They take AA batteries, which most people have around the house, no more buying little 9 volt just for your smoke detectors.You can read all about the different types of fire detectors (there are two main types), but honestly does not make a lot of difference, one maybe a few seconds faster depending on what type of fire you have. But either is going to detect a fire when it starts, allowing you to get out safely. And with the "tightness" of houses today, and more inexpensive furnace units, having a CO detector is necessary if you have any gas or oil fired heating units (or fire place, gas stove). Anything that burns, any type of fuel produces CO. Even if you have electric heat, and hot water, but might use a generator or a car in your garage, this will quickly detect this gas and allow you to get out before you get sick or even die.Great investment, very small investment for the safety of your family. Houses and possessions can be replaced, family members can not.

I was able to mount this easily using the mounting plate, and just rotating the unit once lined up on the plate. It gave a test chirp when powered up with new batteries. It seemed to work fine using the test button and the backlighted LCD was clear and should display any CO present in your area.
