Title: Almost a joke...
Product review: This thing is so bad it's almost funny. Except I wasn't laughing when it woke the household up with a false alarm at 6 AM on a Sunday morning. This wasn't the low-battery chirp -- it was the full-on alarm. After finally getting it to stop shrieking (no easy feat, as you have to unscrew the battery compartment and yank the battery out to get it to shut up), I decided to hold off on calling 911. No gas appliances had been running, the windows were open, and no one in the family was suffering from symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. I ran out to a local store to buy another brand of alarm with a digital display. It has been plugged in for several hours now, and as I suspected, it's not registering any carbon monoxide.This was just the final straw in a long string of irritating incidents. It always had a knack for picking the most inopportune times to notify us of the low battery, and we could never remove it from the outlet without being subjected to its ear-splitting screech.
