What reviewers didn't like
Display accuracy is good, though not top-notch
This is only a carbon monoxide alarm. You’ll have to buy smoke alarms separately.
Alarm cannot be snoozed. Unlike other carbon monoxide detectors, the Kidde KN-COPP-3 Nighthawk Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Alarm does not allow users to snooze false alarms. The device needs to be manually reset each time.
The main downside of a plug-in alarm is that it is within reach of small kids. If you’re worried about kids tampering with the detector, you’re probably better off with one that can be mounted high up.
