Overview
Plug-in carbon monoxide detector from Kidde with a backlit numeric display and 2-AA battery backup, sized to travel between a home outlet and a hotel room.
The model field is blank in the listing, so this one is identified by its name, Kidde COPD. Unlike a light-only alarm, its backlit display reads out the actual CO level, and it is built to skip the low-battery chirp that wakes people overnight.
- Backlit display shows live CO ppm readings
- Rotating plug fits vertical or horizontal outlets
- Power surge immunity built in
- No nighttime low-battery chirps
Who it's for
Renters and homeowners who want a plug-in CO alarm that shows an actual reading, plus travelers who want something compact enough for a hotel outlet. Less suited to anyone who wants the detector mounted at ceiling height away from an outlet.
Pros and cons
- Backlit display shows an actual CO reading, not just a light
- Rotating plug fits vertical or horizontal outlets
- Power surge immunity protects the unit
- No nighttime low-battery chirps
- Plug-in design ties placement to an available outlet
- Model number not listed for this unit
Performance notes
The backlit display shows a live CO reading rather than only lighting an LED, and the unit sounds an 85 dB alarm once levels reach evacuation range. The rotating plug fits vertical or horizontal outlets and includes surge immunity, while 2-AA battery backup keeps it running through an outage.
