Summary: Too many scary false alarms
Comment: I had nothing but problems with this unit and eventually threw it away (wish I had read the reviews and called Kiddie to get it replaced). If the power went out, it would alarm. If I used hairspray two rooms away, it would alarm. If I used the stove or something burned on a unit, it would alarm. The final straw was during a power outage at about 2:00 am when it went off and, not knowing what to do, I called 911 and had the fire department come out. There was no explosive gas or CO at all. It was just blaring for no reason.

Summary: Explosive Gas False Alarms
Comment: This is the 2nd Kidde Carbon Monoxide/Explosive Gas detector I've had. The first one kept having false alarms for explosive gas. Kidde was kind enough to replace it with a new one a couple years ago.
I am now having false gas alarms again. I am in touch with Kidde about getting a carbon monoxide detector instead. I am hoping things will go smoothly with customer service again this time around.

Summary: Had two of these - both failed
Comment: I have owned two of these devices. I got rid of each of them because of false alarms with the gas detector. I tried unplugging it and waiting, but the gas alarm continued to sound. I tried vacuuming the unit, but still no help. I'm going with a CO-only detector this time. I have used the Nighthawk CO-only detector in the past and was happy with it. I wish that I had not switched to the CO/gas detector.

Summary: explosive Subway sandwich
Comment: After just getting my second false alarm for explosive gas in the last month, I decided to jump online and see if others have been having the same problem. I've been reading the reviews about how different odors are setting these things off, and now I'm chuckling because I think it may have been the smell of my Subway sandwich bread that may have set it off. I agree with a lot of the other posters - I think I will switch to a CO only detector.

Summary: false alarms
Comment: more false alarms... GAS... around 420... really wish I read these reviews before I bought it. Alarm went off while cooking on a gas stove and we couldn't smell any gas. I'm pretty certain that the noise is slightly deafening.
