Product seems to be working fine
I like the size and look of the product. It is user friendly. I inserted the battery with no problem. I've just tested it by pressing the big button. What happened was that the red alarm indicator and sound worked, which was good. It advises you to 'move to fresh air' under that red light. The green light came on the 'operate' indicator. An orange light came on the 'fault' indicator. Now they have all disappeared which is what you'd expect after a test. I guess I'll never know if the product ever works properly (with any luck) as I don't want there to be a gas leak. It's good to have this alarm for peace of mind, despite living in a flat with only electricity. I've heard of bad things. Out of two retailers who I approached for this product, Argos were the ones who actually had it in stock.

Neat CO detector
Bought this as a replacement for one with non replaceable batteries. It was easy to set up and install. Didn’t want to be without an alarm and so easy and quick to do a click and collect from my local Argos

Hello Mick.
After contacting our suppliers they have advised for Kidde Single Carbon Monoxide Alarm.
Yes, you can use this carbon monoxide abroad on your holiday. However, you will need to ensure the batteries are removed from the alarm before travelling. Also ensure you check with your airline that they will accept an alarm onboard and if they have any requirements you need to adhere to

Hello Robert,
The Kidde Single Carbon Monoxide Alarm 700/1617 -The supplier advise -Carbon monoxide (CO) and combination alarms should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living areas, no closer than 20cm from the ceiling. If mounting on a ceiling, please make sure it is at least 20cm away from the wall. Because carbon monoxide is almost the same density as air, it will disperse evenly throughout the air in a room.
We recommend you install a carbon monoxide or combination alarm on each level of a multi-level home. If your home has only one CO or combination alarm, it should be installed in the main bedroom or in the hallway outside of the sleeping areas. Place the alarm at least 1.5m away from fuel-burning appliances. Make sure nothing is covering or obstructing the unit. Do not place the unit in dead air spaces or next to a window or door. CAUTION: Carbon Monoxide alarms will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide at the sensor. Carbon monoxide may be present in other areas of your home
Thank you for using Q and A
