JUNK...Combo smoke, carbon monoxide detectors

[mowin]

I absolutely hate the "10 yr” combos. They don't come close to lasting 10 yrs. I'm lucky to get 1-2 yrs before they start going haywire. Bought a 4 pack Jan of 2019. Had one go off about a month ago. Beeping and saying fire. Nothing on the stove. Windows open no candles lit because the wife was a work. Put it outside and it continued to sound off for 20min.  

Week later another one went off for CO. Again, nothing that could produce CO was running. Did that for a few days before I tossed that one.

Got home from work today and I can here beeping and FIRE, FIRE. Ran inside and nothing except 3 dog freaking out. 

I give the last one about a week before it short circuits.

At least mine went screwy while we were awake.

Check the expiration dates on them when buying .If it has the CO alarm on it,replace it well before 10 years regardless .

I'm actually ordering ones I can replace the batteries. I'm guessing they went wacko because the batteries were loosing strength???

Purchased them from HD. I'll check the last one and see if it has a date.
