Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Product Description:
Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America, yet many people don't know they are suffering from CO poisoning until its too late. Since symptoms of CO poisoning are like the flu, you might not even know you're in danger at first. That's why a carbon monoxide alarm is an excellent way to protect your family. It can detect the CO you can't see, smell or taste in the air.

The First Alert SCO5CN carbon monoxide and smoke alarm uses an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor-the most accurate technology available. The alarm uses photoelectric smoke sensing technology which is environmentally friendlier and which reduces nuisance alarms, making it ideal for cooking areas. It is also great for sensing slow smoldering fires quickly. The permanent sensors last the lifetime of the alarm. The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and allows you to test the unit's functionality. The alarm uses different 85-decibel horns and lights depending on whether it's alerting you to smoke or carbon monoxide. A low battery signal alerts you to replace the battery and end-of-life alarm of three chirps alerts you to replace the unit. Two AA batteries are included. 5-year limited warranty. UL listed. Not available for sale in Massachusetts.--Bree Norlander

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Detector!
This product works! I recommend this product to all!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Combo
These were bought to replace others. Never had any problems. Combo preferred over buying two units for smoke and carbon monoxide.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - nice to have around

It was easy to put in the ceiling and easy to put the battery in.
it is good to have because it will hit to birds with one stone, so to speak, by being a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector as well.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Excellent Combo Alarm
Of course, First Alert is known for quality products, but this device is better yet. Very easy to install, easy to maintain (uses double A instead of 9 volt), relatively inexpensive and sounds an alarm shrill enough to wake up my 10 year old dog. Buy it!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good, not great
I replaced a hard-wired alarm that was 20 years old with an SCO5 that I bought locally (and paid more). It looks identical to the SCO5CN and may be identical. The only difference I can see in the description is that the CN version apparently has two different alarms -- mine has only one (three beeps for fire, four for CO). Two would be better. (The SCO7CN talks and tells you whether you have a CO problem or a smoke problem. You need to know the difference, because in the case of CO, you want to get ... Read More
