This compact carbon monoxide detector is great for traveling!! Now I don’t have to worry when I go to hotels as long as I have this detector with me!!

Have yet to really test. But the build quality is very nice hopefully it last a long time

Has a nice display, battery lasts a long time and it is very nice to have peace of mind knowing I can check for carbon monoxide anywhere I go.

Used this for monitoring carbon monoxide around my home. Great value. Useful to have in my tool box.

It’s the first nice looking co detector I’ve seen. Easy to move into the garage when I’m working. Recommend!

Lightweight (3.8 oz.). Long battery life. In my endurance tests the audible low battery alarm sounded after 103 hours. Thats over 4 full days with me bumping it up to full brightness 5 or 6 times a day. During that 103 hours it was always on and armed. After the first 5 minutes the screen dims to save power but the device is still detecting. Testing the alarm with auto exhaust, it responded within 2 seconds. The alarm detection threshold is adjustable from 25 ppm all the way up to 125 ppm. I liked that feature. The temperature was within 1 degree of a calibrated device and the humidity was with 3% of a calibrated device. Screen is difficult to read in full sun or while wearing polarized sun glasses. I use this for car camping and for taking naps at work in my car with the engine running. Nice backup if I'm going to be using propane or butane in the car. An absolute necessity for using a portable generator. Small engines make me uneasy. A gas powered push mower makes a little over ten times as much CO as my 3.8 liter Toyota V6.

I keep the unit next to my dog's bed in the garage near our propane heater. I know propane is supposed to burn clean, but you just don't know if you're not monitoring.
This unit feels durable. It's about the size of a hockey puck. Seems like the frame of the device is made of metal, the face and back look like injection molded plastic. Still, if you were to drop it, the plastic has a good chance of hitting the ground, perhaps breaking.
The CO detector picked up on a cigarette almost instantly, when held near the detector. I trust it works.
The only control is a single button. Don't lose the instructions. I found I only really needed to use the button for power on/off, and bringing the display out of power saving mode were it dims the still visible readings.
The included lanyard is cute, but essentially useless. The hook has a flawed design, and won't even clip onto a belt loop.
The battery seems to last a long time. So far, I'd say I've had it monitoring for about 10 hours and it still shows a full charge. I'll see how it holds up.
The temperature and humidity readings are interesting to know. You don't get those on all the different devices available. It's a nice bonus for me.
The display is bright and very easy to read. It dims after some time, still, it is readable. To turn on the bright display only requires a quick tap of the single button control.
The audible alarm is attention getting and fairly loud.
The magnet is not really strong enough to hold it to smooth metal such as the side of a heater. It will slide right down. Other metal surfaces, it seems to work ok on. Don't fully depend on the magnet to hold it in place 100% of the time.
The first one I received rattled, I exchanged it. The second one does not make noise when you move it around.

I bought this because my power bill was so high due to electric heat so I got a single head propane heater and I just wanted to make sure I didn't end up taking the big sleep if you know what I mean... The propane heater is not registering anything until it gets close to empty then it's around 15-20ppm, I took it to work with me and my forced air propane heater puts out 15-20 consistently, this thing will even pick up my car exhaust at the front door. Even a zippo lighter will set it off so I'm pretty sure it works. I also have carbon monoxide detectors in my house and they haven't gone off yet so I think I'm safe.
The picture is of me standing on the porch and reading CO from the car.
Edit. Just found out a wireless phone charger will set it off
