Title: Ordered this to replace my old one... and they a very important
Product review: A little over two years ago the one I am replacing (only because it is over 5 years old) started chirping at about 10 pm. I watched the numbers climb and when it got over 100 (and stood there) I went outside to investgate. Low and behold there was smoke coming from the manhole cover a few doors up from my house. A quick look at the two manholes further down the block and they had even more smoke. You could hear what sounded like a massive electrical short under the street. So bad it was actually vibrating the street. A quick call to Con Ed (Electric Company here in NY) and 911 and emergency services showed up. Evacutated about a dozen houses because they all had detectable CM levels. But only I had a detector. I would have to say it kept dozens of people from getting sick or worse. It is your choice but I will never be without one. If mine did not go off no one might have noticed...
