Aico Detector, White [Energy Class A+]

I got this to replace a time-expired carbon monoxide alarm. Easy to fit, it works and was no trouble integrating with our alarm system.

Great quality product and good value for money. Delivery was on time and great communication from seller

Firstly - as you can see from the test readout; this ‘brand new’ detector is actually 4 years old. Frustrating but can deal with that.The packaging was quite poor also - actually looked like it had spent those initial 4 years travelling around in the back of a van somewhere. Luckily though the detector itself is intact and installs very easily.Reasonable for the price but should be doing better in stock age given it’s supposed to have a 10 year lifespan. For comparison the 10 year FireAngel smoke detectors I’ve bought for other rooms in the house have 11 years remaining in them…

While repainting the ceiling, I took the old one off and saw that it had an expiration date of 2 months time. Bought this new one as a replacement. Easy to fit, although the old one was rectangular so I couldn't use the old base. Needed to reconnect the wires. Should be good for another 10 years. All good.

These are great reliable detectors, but should be telling the date in the description and the minimum time remaining as these should last more than 10 years as stated in the description. The detector has only 3/4 of the life remaining therfore not as cheap as was thought.Description is misleading.

I needed to replace an existing mains CO alarm. The old one was rectangular but I managed to cover 95% of its area. There was just anough space to connect wires. This new alarm should last 10 years. I think building regulations should be changed to allow battery alarm to be fitted as most also will last 10 years. They are cheaper and easier to install so would more likely to be used.

Just the fact that once you fit the base once you never have to worry about unscrewing it from the ceiling again as the replacement just slips onto the existing base, brilliant!Just wish they sold units that didn't have a base as I now have a spare one and don't know what to do with it!!Just look at the expiry date, it should be 10 years or thereabouts, if it isn't then send it back for a refund.

Excellent would definitely recommend
