Do you have carbon monoxide safety alarms in your home? Our home has a gas stove, oven, water heater, and heater so I was excited at the chance to review Kidde’s new Worry-Free CO alarm, and somewhat terrified that it would start going off. I have a beautiful family to think about and when you can take precautions to prevent injury & death, there is no reason not to do so.
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that can be deadly within minutes, aka, the invisible killer. This also means that if you don’t have a carbon monoxide alarm (and one that actually works), then you won’t have any clue if your precious family is being harmed by it until it’s too late. I don’t know about you but I’d hate to have the guilt of knowing a 5 minute installation could have prevented something tragic.
Things that make the Kidde Worry-Free Carbon Monoxide Alarm awesome (this just launched and is brand new):
- Easy Install y’all! You simply mount the bracket and slide your alarm onto it. Doing this automatically turns your alarm on and it’s ready to go. And just so you know, it’s always on. Every single day, hour, second.
- 10 year alarm. Helloooo! If you’re as bad as I am about changing batteries, well this is your lucky day because these last 10 years! This actually lasts twice as long as most other CO alarms. That’s what I’m talking about!
- When it does come to its 10 year, it will sound an alarm to let you know that it finally needs replacing. Can you imagine 10 years down the road hearing it and completely forgetting that it’s been 10 years?!
- Lets say you have an accidental burn in your toaster or griddle (like when I make tortillas), and you start to hear that chirp chirp chirp….This alarm features a hush button that temporarily disables the chirping, allowing you time to air out your accident.
As of today, May 1st, you’ll be able to find these alarms at your local Home Depot. The chirps and batteries are the #1 reasons why people don’t buy CO alarms. And while I totally understand the ‘inconveniences’ of those annoyances, you won’t have to worry about any of that with this alarm. It’s simple. It’s effective. It’s built to last a long, long time. And it just works! See this precious guy? How could I not ensure his safety in our home with something that takes less than 5 minutes to put up……
