Firehawk SML CO7B-10Y, White

I recently purchased the Firehawk SML CO7B-10Y Carbon Monoxide Alarm, and after using it, I can confidently say that it’s a well-designed and reliable safety device.The alarm has a sleek, compact, and lightweight design that blends seamlessly into any home environment. It’s small enough to be unobtrusive but sturdy enough to feel durable. The white color makes it look modern and clean, fitting well with most home decor.Setting up the Firehawk CO alarm was quick and hassle-free. It comes with mounting accessories, but you also have the option to place it on a flat surface if you prefer not to drill holes. The user manual provides clear instructions, making it simple even for those who aren’t particularly handy.A 10-Year Sealed Battery – One of the standout features is the sealed lithium battery that lasts up to 10 years. This eliminates the need for frequent battery changes and ensures continuous protection without worrying about power failures.Accurate Detection – It uses an electrochemical sensor, which is highly reliable for detecting dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. I tested it near a fuel-burning appliance, and it responded quickly.Loud Alarm & LED Indicator – The 85dB alarm is loud enough to be heard throughout the house, and the LED indicators (green for normal operation, red for alarm, and yellow for fault) provide clear visual feedback. Test & Hush Button – The test function is easy to use, allowing me to verify that the device is working properly. The hush button is also a useful feature to silence any nuisance alarms without deactivating the unit.The Firehawk SML CO7B-10Y is an excellent carbon monoxide detector that offers peace of mind with its long-lasting battery, reliable detection, and user-friendly features. It’s perfect for homes, apartments, and even holiday properties.Pros:10-year sealed battery (no need for replacements) Highly sensitive electrochemical sensorEasy installation & maintenanceClear LED status indicatorsLoud alarm for emergenciesCons:No digital CO level display (would be a useful addition)Can’t replace the battery (must replace the unit after 10 years)A must-have for home safety! If you’re looking for a dependable and maintenance-free carbon monoxide alarm, the Firehawk SML CO7B-10Y is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

These should be fitted with any wood burner installation, we didn't have one to the horror of the chimney sweep. This is the detector he recommended, it installed easily and can be removed from the mounting plate so you can position it elsewhere if you need, it's fairly small and discreet, quality looks good, hopefully I'll never need to hear how loud it is.

It's pretty easy to set up. It works on test, the power light doesn't stay on, I don't think it's supposed to.. I hope it is working OK but I never have to use it. The unit is compact and mobile so o can sit it next to my boiler.

Love these. If you mount the bracket then you can just replace the sensor

I have had this type of carbon monoxide detector for a number of years. It is easy to install, test and replace and is compact, unobtrusive and ideal to be placed in any room that there is a gas fire, boiler or coal/wood burner.

Compact and easy to install

Instructions a bit vague, the back plate has to be fitted to activate the detector, even if you're going to use it as portable using the stand.Hard to review something that hopefully will be passive, but it's small and discreet format makes it worth buying. The detector can be placed out of sight in a suitable location.

A great carbon monoxide detector that replaced the previous one perfectly. Easy to fit with no issues.
