If there is things for safety one should have in their home, a smoke detector, a carbon monoxide detector, a natural gas detector (for those who tend to have issues with their gas stove or are forgetful) and also a CO2 Detector.
Some people think Carbon Monoxide and CO2 are the same, but both are different and both require their own detectors. And in the home, as important as it is to be a smoke detector, one should also have a carbon Monoxide and a Carbon Dioxide Meter.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, flammable gas that is slightly less dense than air. While Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a colorless and non-flammable gas at normal temperature pressure. The latter is primarily used to check for air quality and also important to have to detect the gas levels in your home, especially when you turn on your oven.
In the US, Carbon Monoxide kills more than 500 Americans from accidental exposure and thousands needs emergency care for non-fatal carbon monoxide poisoning. May it be through house fires or faulty gas appliances. You may have heard stories of people sleeping in their home or apartment or even at a hotel that had a leaking gas device and unfortunately, when you do hear news about it, it’s typically fatalities.
I have owned Carbon Monoxide detectors and from experience, no matter who cheap or how expensive they are, it’s important that these get replaced often because while it’s smart to have batteries changed (as they do die out within a year or two).
The DASINKO Carbon Monoxide Detector 3-Pack is pretty cool because you get three. You can keep a few as spares, or give it to a family member, friend or neighbor and it’s fairly inexpensive at $40 for three!
The device is easy to use, just add three AAA batteries and the LCD displays the PPM and also features a test/reset button.
It’s easy to use. Install the three AAA batteries (not include) and a voice prompt will say to please wait two minutes for preheating and it will display in two minutes. Press the test button, the LCD screen will show “0” ppm and the red LED flashes every 30 seconds to make sure it’s working and the alarm level is indicated on the LCD.
When the unit detects carbon monoxide gas more than 30PPM, it will sound off an alarm and a voice prompt. Also, if there is low batteries or sensor failure, the device will also let you know.
The device comes with mounting accessories and for the most part, works perfectly.
Overall, the DASINKO Carbon Monoxide Detector 3-Pack is recommended!
