Awful - repetitive false alarms

My smoke alarms reached their end of life, so I picked out some new ones - these. I bought 6 of them in Nov 2023. Within 1-2 months, the false alarms started. I messaged the company on their website, with no response. The false alarms continued, and I had to break off the tabs and completely deactivate 2 of them to get the alarms to stop. I called the company, and they sent 4 replacement alarms, which I installed in July 2024. Now it's September 2024, 2 months after installing the new ones, an...

No Batteries to Worry About

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smoke alarm is thinner than our previous one so it doesn't stick out so much on the wall. It was super easy to install and the best part of all was not having to put in batteries. It comes with a lithium battery installed, so all you have to do is activate it when you put the detector up. There are no beeps from low batteries which is the most annoying thing ever. It has not needed to beep because we haven't had any smoke or fires but ...

It’s not exactly the same as the one I had before

I try to get the same smoke detector as I had with a 10 year battery that didn’t last more than three years so that I could use the same screws in the ceiling. It looked correct and measured correct but when I got it it was a little off. But I was able to manage to get it up on the previous screws. I hope it lasts the 10 years that it’s supposed to last this time

Lasted 9 months

The smoke detector last 9 month, bought in September 2023 failed with multiple false alerts in June 2024. Previous one lasted 4 months which was the same model. So 0 for 2. That should give you some idea of the quality here by First Alert. Moving on to another manufacturer. Also, I don't understand why Lowes has not pulled this product.

DO NOT BUY

These never last more than 3 years and frequently give false alarms. I’ve been through 10 of them in 4 years. I’m so tired of calling First Alert and getting them replaced. Honestly, I think it might be time for a class action lawsuit. These products are supposed to save lives and these ones have been defective for years.

Peace of mind!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have needed a smoke detector between our kitchen and dining room for a while, so were happy to receive the First Alert PR710 10 year Battery Powered Slim Smoke Detector with Photoelectric Sensor. It was easy to install using just a screwdriver. It is a slim design and not bulky & noticeable like older detectors. I like that it has a Photoelectric sensor & a battery that will last 10years, so my husband or I won’t have to climb up & down a l...

Get this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the smoke detector everyone needs on their home. The slimmer, sleeker design makes it less obtrusive. It is an extremely easy to install design, all you need is a screwdriver. The long lasting lithium battery means you will not be changing out batteries every few months which saves a lot of money. Its photoelectric sensor makes it a safer choice for every home. With it being able to sense smoke faster and telling the difference between ...

Feel safe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So slim and is pleasing to the eye, no big bulky disk on your ceiling, and easy to install, at 73 it was a breeze for me. I feel safe and secure with First Alert. We checked it out it works perfect,I surely will hear it if it ever goes off. Love the 10 year battery won't be disappointed that I don't get to change the batteries every few months. My most important thing is the safety of my family and myself,I feel that I have the best protect...

A must have

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In order to keep your family safe always have a smoke / fire / carbon monoxide detector installed at your home. I liked this one because it is for 10 years. A lot of people don't realize that they need to be replaced. Such an easy item to keep your family safe! It is heartbreaking to hear stories on the news of the house fire that either did not have a detector or the batteries were expired and no longer working any longer. Go for the 10 ye...

Ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced my old one with this new one and did ok for a while but went off for no reason in the middle of the night. You talk about scary for a false alarm. I was not happy at all and put my old one back up. Did ok for about a month but should last longer than that for sure. Tried replacing the battery all though it was a new one in the first place but just didn't wanna go through that again so I just left the old one up since I've had no troubl...
