STATUS Monoxide Alarm, Home Carbon Monoxide Detector including Batteries, SDCMA3XAA1PB4

Easy to fit and comes with a battery. Easy to replace a battery with a twist as it comes away from it's backplate. Looks neat, compact and fairly slimline.

good alarm - works well as i am still here - i presume if it fails - i won't be - good value imho

Bought as a replacement for another brand of carbon monoxide alarm. Easy to set up and has worked fine so far.

The one I had was fitted by British Gas about ten years ago. It had a sealed battery and 10 year sensor, it said on the side replace June 2024 and was beeping to show battery power was low. I paid a lot more for that one from British Gas than I’ve paid for this replacement one. When I saw the review saying a British Gas fitter had been fitting this Status one for eight years without a problem that was good enough for me. It seems very well made and came with three AA batteries that are supposed to last two years. It was very easy to fit, screw the back plate to the wall and slide alarm body into it. It looks better fitted horizontally but could be fitted vertically but then you would be viewing its tiny screen and writing on it from the side. Wouldn’t make much difference to how it works though. The two screws provided are useless with heads that are supposed to fit all types of screwdrivers, but in reality fit none very well. I find this with all screws provided for anything that comes from the far East. They must have different screwdrivers than us or are just too mean to provide us with better screws! Not a problem to me with a good selection of screws to choose from but it might be if you are not much of a handyman and expect screws to be provided. It beeps every minute when first set up but this can be disabled by pressing the test button for about 5 seconds. The alarm is very loud and I am pleased with it so far. No adverse comments from the gas fitter who has just given my boiler its annual service and who supplied the old one and checked it each year when doing the annual boiler service. November ‘24. Just bought another one because pleased with the first. Bundled it with a status smoke alarm which is clearly a separate item. Can’t see anywhere where the CO detector claims to be a smoke detector as well. So those who give it only one star because it’s misdescribed, are clearly mistaken. Patrick
