Two in one is good
It fills the requirement I need in one item instead of 2 which is goo. I hate alarms & this & other news ones are more annoying than before with an added voice commanding you to evacuate. Who needs to be told that in a fire? Over Kill and added annoyance.

Perfect Smoke/CO detector for an apartment
Would RecommendThe talking/voice feature is perfect for an apartment. Instead of just a tone the voice tells the tenant what the alarm is for. Add the 10 year battery and it becomes the perfect Smoke/CO detector.

10 years? Maybe not.

How is this thing legal? What I put it through to get the smoke alert to go off is beyond no return. You would he toast well before the alarm goes off. To test the carbon monoxide alert, I let the car run in a very small garage with all ventilation blocked off for 10 mins, never went off. Yeah would hope it was a defective unit but tested two the same way.
