Carbon monoxide is often called the silent killer for good reason—it's odorless, tasteless, and invisible, making it one of the most dangerous threats in our homes. The Kidde Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Detector uses advanced electrochemical sensor technology to detect poisonous CO gas and alert you before it becomes life-threatening.
Unlike basic CO alarms, this Kidde detector features a digital LED display that shows the exact level of carbon monoxide the unit is sensing, updating every 15 seconds. You can see exactly what's happening in your home—whether levels are normal or rising to dangerous concentrations. The Peak Level Memory feature records the highest CO level detected since the last reset, giving you valuable information about potential exposure sources.
The Kidde detector plugs directly into any standard 120V AC power outlet for continuous monitoring. But what happens during a power outage? This unit has you covered with a 9-volt alkaline battery backup (included) that ensures the alarm continues functioning even when the power goes out. The 85-decible alarm provides a loud, unmistakable warning that can be heard throughout your home.
The Smart-Hush button silences the unit for approximately 8 minutes when it detects temporary CO sources like cooking fumes or shower steam—no more false alarms disrupting your day. The 6-foot extension cord (included) gives you flexibility to place the detector on a table or shelf instead of just in the wall outlet. And you'll never wonder if it's working properly—the LED indicator blinks to show normal operation.
For maximum protection, install a Kidde CO detector on every level of your home and near sleeping areas. The unit is UL Certified with a 10-year limited manufacturer's warranty and meets all major safety standards including UL 2034, UL217, and NFPA requirements. Whether you're protecting your family or giving the gift of safety to someone you love, this detector provides reliable, easy-to-use protection against one of home's most dangerous threats.
