The Kidde 10SCO alarm can detect smoke and carbon monoxide. It has a replaceable 9V battery that can be accessed conveniently through a hatch in the front of the alarm, and it comes with a 10-year warranty. It can't be linked to other alarms in the home and that means it won't be suitable for homes in Scotland after the February 2022 law change. But what is it like at detecting smoke and sounding the alarm when there’s a fire? We tested it to find out. Read on for our verdict, fire test results and the total test score for this Kidde smoke alarm.
