X-Sense 10-Year Battery Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector with LCD Display & Dual Sensor Alarm for Enhanced Safety

Mesa Spa: I was looking something for my van but it was too big in my van, but it’s a nice looking at a good quality, I use it in my house

WEGal: The detector was relatively easy to install, BUT it would have been really helpful to have a clear indication of the drill bit size to use (in *both* centimeter and inch sizes) to match the anchors provided...!!! I had to do some noodling to figure that out because the numbers indicated didn't make sense - they were in centimeters and my drill bits are in fractions of inches. Also, it would be awesome if, in future updates of the product, the screw holes were positioned with one *centered* over the top of the LED display so that, when mounted on a wall, the display could be easily leveled instead of skewed to one side or the other (some of us, amazingly, are not tall enough to reach it without a ladder if it's on an 8- or 9-foot ceiling, and are too old to be climbing ladders unnecessarily!)

The rest of the test and setup procedure was simple enough, and the detector is happily working and doing a green flash every minute or so. I can't speak to the battery life at this point, since it's been installed less than a week and the battery is supposed to last 10 years.

Scooter T: My old CO and smoke detector used 3 AA batteries, which seemed to die in the middle of the night and set off a chirping sound. It started chirping at 4 am, freaking out my dog and waking everyone. After replacement batteries failed to stop the chirping, I removed it to discover instructions on the back that said the unit dies after 7 years and it needs to be replaced. So, this new unit is good for 10 years, with no need to replace the batteries ever until the unit dies in 10 years. It has a handy LED display, so it's possible to read actual CO levels in the air (luckily it's at 0). At $31, I figured it will cost about $3 per year to help protect us maintenance-free for the next decade.

Gary: Stick the holder on the wall, mark the three holes, drill, put in the inserts, put in the screws and then just stick the detector in there and twist. It comes on and tests itself automatically. If it lasts anywhere close to 10 years, I'll be happy. Tired of tracking down the source of the dog-terrifying warning beep and replacing batteries.

If you put it on a wall, rather than the ceiling, you will want it to line up so the display is at the top, not over on one side or the other, which would look like crap. I found that if you put the word "device" -- from the imprinted sentence along the edge of the holder--at the exact bottom when you install the holder, then twist in the detector starting at about 10 o'clock, it will come out just right. Also, if you don't have a 6mm drill bit, a 13/64 works nicely. Or close to that, most likely.

wannabe perfectionist 💬wannabe perfectionist 💬: The media could not be loaded.  I bought this for my boiler room where I have a furnace, a gas powered dryer, and a hot water tank.
Smoke detector is important but I believe carbon monoxide detector is just as important, if not more, as it can be a silent killer that you should not ignore.

WHAT I LIKE:

[+] It's a smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, 2 in 1.
[+] The included battery lasts 10 years!
[+] Can be placed in anywhere as it does not need to be plugged into outlet
[+] Comes with mounting bracket and screws
[+] The unit activates itself when you mount on the bracket and has places to write down the date of installation
[+] Loud beeps and alarm sound that you won't be able to ignore
[+] Digital display of the reading and the battery level
[+] Price is great for something that will protect you for 10 years

WHAT I DON'T LIKE:

[-] It would have been amazing if it can also detect a gas leak :)

THE BOTTOM LINE:

5 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend this for a boiler room or kitchen where you have the highest chance of smoke and/or carbon monoxide leak. This should give you a peace of mind for 10 years.
Hope...
