Terrible products from this company
Would Not RecommendWould never recommend this company. 1. Purchased 6 CO2+Smokes from them in 2022 (manufactured Sept 22). FOUR OF THEM failed within two years at 3am. 5 chirps = "end of life." They want $7 shipping PER DEVICE to replace them. I, being curious, dismantled one of the defective alarms. IT WAS COMPLETELY CLEAN. NOT A SINGLE BIT OF DUST IN IT or anywhere on the photoelectric sensor. It was just a piece of trash. 2. Decided to purchase the product on this page. ONE of them had a dead battery. Another...

Would RecommendEasy to connect and install.
2 of six failed with repeated false alarms
Would Not RecommendI replaced 6 of our smoke detectors with these. After 2 years, two of the units have now failed with repeated false alarms. The first one started failing in the middle of the night, which is terrifying to say the least. After the same one triggered multiple times, I ended up replacing it. Now another unit started failing and causing repeated false alarms. The units were both clean with no evidence of dust buildup or insects, and in each case there was no smoke in the house and no one cooking or...

I didn’t know you are supposed to replace smoke dy

Not sure if it's working with other smoke alarms
Would Not RecommendI installed five First Alert smoke alarms OK, then discovered that I needed six. I bought this one which is very close in appearance to the other five. A problem is that I can't read the raised print on the smoke alarms which I think tell what model it is, because it's white on white, small print, very hard to see. The instructions were nearly useless, giving lots of warnings and describing WHERE to install it, but saying very little about HOW to install it. I turned off the circuit breaker ...
