Would RecommendPurchased five of these on May 1, 2024 and installed, replacing five originally installed in my home when built in 2007! It was time! However, one of these detectors started its annoying beeping in October 2025. I replaced the battery but that failed to silence it so I purchased a replacement and installed it in November 2025. I think I had a bad detector and am attempting to see if the manuafacturer will refund me per the warranty info.

Overly Sensitive Junk
Would Not RecommendDo you want to be alerted to a fire? Do you want to be alerted to a boiling pot of water 75 feet away from the nearest smoke detector? Do you want to be alerted if someone a mile down the road has a bonfire? Then the 9120B is the smoke detector for you! Pure and utter garbage that triggers constantly for no reason at all (yes, they are new date codes, yes they have been cleaned.)
Quick and Easy

Out of date when purchased
Purchased in Oct. 2024. Installed shortly after. Within a few weeks, two of them have already had to have their battery replaced. Likely more will soon. Called First Alert. She had me check the manufacture date on the detector, which is Feb. 2023. So they were already a year and a half old when purchased, which I did not know at the time. She said that's why the battery is already needing replacement, and likely the others will as well. No mention from her for compensation for having to replace ...

Happy with purchase
Would RecommendI wanted to have all matching smoke detectors and I needed four. I had to use a handyman and it took him less than 30 minutes so have them do other jobs to make it worthwhile. Change every 5 years to be safe
