Newer model, and my account had a 30% of coupon. YMMV
Absolutely agree. SD promotes a lot of junk on this platform. Amazon currently was ordered to make sure the junk it sells meet certain standards. SD promotes just about anything cheap and a lot of it are junks from the world's factory so that it can make money off it.
X-sense aka the ones who built my security camera that allowed the boys bike to be stolen undetected 2X+vanished from AppStore and are somehow back!

FWIW, the WiFi connected combo version with photoelectric smoke detection and app alerts is $15 more right now.
There's this new thing called Google, you guys should try it.
It's UL (US) and EN (Europe) tested and approved per the manufacturer specifications. Furthermore you can and should regularly test your detectors regardless of brand or how much you've paid. I've seen Kidde and First Alerts fail, too. Paying more gets you nothing.
Safety Standards: UL 2034 and EN 50291:2018
Very true. Also quite a few reviews have said they tested them and they didn't detect anything

When testing CO detectors it's important to know that they average readings over time, sometimes several minutes, before they report an alarm or even a reading so they do not respond instantly. I don't know how these people were testing them but I imagine that had something to do with it.
If you want cheap, you can buy these for $7 on another site. They look like a smoke detector and have digital readout.
If CO poisoning is a real concern for you, I would buy a US brand.
But I dont see why this is a concern for most people, unless you have a running car parked in your house or a fireplace. CO doesn't just magically appear, it is produced by a source.
Most homes have a stove. Or a furnace. They are both sources of carbon monoxide. There have been widely-reported cases of entire households dying from CO poisoning. And none of them involved a car or fireplace. In fact, NY now requires all homes to have a CO detector. That despite the fact we apartment dwellers are nowhere near a running car or fireplace.

The beauty of SD is that anyone can post anything (we check if it's in good faith). What is popular is what is promoted. SDers definitely like it as cheap as possible, but people also post deals for higher quality products too. There is something for everyone, and maybe everything for someone

The best part of this is that these people are posting things like "cheap Chinese junk" like America is the bastion of quality out there. LOL . I mean America is famous for cheaply built houses and poor quality cars and cheap clothing. The best electronics we ever had were from Japan. Even Brits don't want our cars and their cars are junk. On top of that criticizing China and other countries, meanwhile they are up to their eyeballs in debt, can't afford to buy homes, don't have health insurance and have car payments that look like mortgage payments.

Be that as it may, china does produce a lot of low quality junk.

China produces whatever you want for the price point that people want to pay or can afford to pay. China can produce a $1 comb or a computer or phone that sells for thousands of dollars.
My battery powered smoke detector eat two batteries in six months. So 40 batteries in 10 years. What's the issue here?
Other companies (and maybe X-Sense too) sell sealed units with 10 year batteries. They are warrantied for 10 years so if the battery dies (mine did after 9 years) they send a free replacement. You save on batteries and more importantly it's nice to never change batteries.
I almost purchased 2 of these to be installed in our home in Belize. Glad I saw the comments about the unusual battery - that would probably be $30 per battery down there. Found the Kidde CO detector for $17 instead, which takes AA or AAA batteries.
Why buy a $19 CO detector that takes an expensive battery?
I bought one of these. I don't like the fact it has a really odd battery, which costs around $9 for just one name-brand battery. The WIFI probably uses more battery also. So when the battery gives out, I'm not keeping it. Much prefer alarms that take standard AA or AAA batteries, including rechargeable.

The main reason is lithium battery provides a very stable power supply until depletion vs alkaline that drops voltage rapidly over time when discharged. The power source is critical for sensitive sensor electronics to be consistently reliable. I've a couple of rechargeable A123 lithium battery for my golf range finder. They were $18 for 6 when I bought them.

Gas furnace or gas water heater are areas you may want one.
Would this unit be practical for traveling? Staying in vacation rentals not ever place has CO installed and I'm hoping to start bringing them when I travel to certain locations.
