The First Alert CO710 is a carbon monoxide (CO) detector that is versatile, powerful, and also stylish. It can sit on a dresser or tabletop, indicating not just the level of CO in the air but also the ambient temperature. An alarm will sound if the CO in the air reaches dangerous levels, measured through its electro-chemical sensors.
The alarm will sound at 85 dB, which is the accepted standard. Additionally, it comes with a peak function, which keeps track of the highest CO level that was recorded in the house. This is important information for first responders and hospital staff, for instance. Click here for the Top 10 Best Carbon Monoxide Detectors.
The device comes with a sealed lithium battery that will last for 10 years, which is the lifetime of the alarm. This means that there is no need to worry about low battery chirps or not fitting the battery properly. After 10 years, the device will sound an alarm to remind you that it needs to be replaced with a new one.
The First Alert CO710 also comes with a 10 year limited warranty. It meets the UL 2034 standard, further guaranteeing your safety. CO exposure is a silent killer and responsible for thousands of deaths across the country every year. Since CO is invisible, odorless, and tasteless, every home with a fuel burning appliance or heater or with an attached garage should have such a monitor in place.
