The device seems to work as advertised. I have the carbon monoxide monitor free standing with the reading easily visible in our kitchen about two meters from the boiler. It shows a reassuring '0' all the time and I am hoping that if CO levels became detectable that would show immediately. I bought the detector as a precaution, but potentially a vital one.

Good product but instructions are wrong Product seems good quality. Nice display and feels solid. Instructions have 2 mistakes. One concerns the resetting of the peak level, instructions say press both buttons together, you actually press and hold one whilst pressing and then releasing the other. Also claims to have a backlight and doesn't. Had to ring SafeLincs twice to resolve both issues and issue of resetting peak level caused me a good hour of mucking about with the unit trying to get it to work. Finally confusingly, when you test the unit it logs a 'fake' reading in the peak level memory. This is mentioned no-where in the instructions so I thought that I was having background levels of CO in the house....

Many people are unaware of the devastating effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon Monoxide has no colour, smell or taste and cannot be detected by the human senses. It is extremely dangerous, binding itself to the haemoglobin in red blood cells and preventing them from transporting oxygen around the body.
Estimated Number of Deaths Every Year
According to statistics released by the Office for National Statistics, throughout England and Wales there are an average of over 60 deaths every year due to accidental exposure to carbon monoxide - up to 45% of which occur in the home.
Source: ONS, User Requested Data, Refs 006780, 007476 & 009122
People Treated for CO Poisoning Every Year
Figures from the Department of Health and Social Care show that there are around 4000 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning treated in A&E Departments across England each year - even mild cases can exacerbate existing conditions such as respiratory illnesses, leading to fatalities.
Percentage of UK Households with a CO Alarm
A study of more than 27,000 properties by the Liverpool John Moores University, supported by the Merseyside and West Midlands Fire Services, found that less than 10% of homes have a single carbon monoxide alarm to protect occupants from this deadly gas.
