Hi Verne,
That's the one I just bought, but now I wonder whether I should have gotten another one. The one I bought is both a smoke detector and a CO detector. The problem is, after buying it, I read that it's best to install smoke detectors on the ceiling , but CO detectors are supposed to be installed farther down, such as on a wall. That's why the plug-in models are good. Most electrical outlets are at the proper level for CO detectors. Apparently, CO may not rise high enough to reach the ceiling, or it may not rise fast enough, even if the levels are elevated. For now, however, I suppose the detector I got is better than none at all.
