My husband and I travel quite a bit and recently I have been hearing these stories about people who stayed in hotels in different countries and who died while sleeping from carbon monoxide poisoning. We were planning a trip to 2 countries with two other couples and after seeing these stories, I immediately decided to order these items for the 3 couples. These are very easy to use, appears to be good quality. Instructions are clean. Display is very easy to read. When tested, the alarm is quite loud and would surely wake you up from a deep sleep. We took the alarms on our trips and placed on the bedside tables. I like the fact that these are battery operated in steady of plug in. I will just change batteries before each trip. These now have a permanent place in my suitcase. Also note that it's not very heavy so does not take it a lot of space in suitcase.Note that i am giving it 5 stars, though obviously I can only tell if it performs exactly the way it should, if I am in an area with high carbon monoxide. I hope never to have that experience but if I do and all goes well, I will be back to update. If not.... well.

Battery instead of plug is a great feature! Have not had it tested since we don't have CO in the house, but the peace of mind is very helpful to know as we have kids in the house.Bonus that I love is it is loud enough (when I was testing the alarm) that my Wyze cameras pick up the CO alarm and notify me on my phone!
