Would RecommendNothing fancy about this smoke detector...it works as advertised. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is that it didn't come with mounting screws. Other than that it works fine.

Good quality, easy to install
Would RecommendI bought 6 of these units, to replace 15-year-old detectors. The new mounting brackets worked with the existing screw positions, so installation was extremely easy. I have not had any of the false alarms that some reviewers have mentioned.

Needed a replacement!
Would RecommendI had replaced all but one smoke detectors earlier this year but I had one on a high ceiling that did not get done. I finally got the tall ladder in the house and replaced the old unit with this new one.

Affordable and Easy Install Smoke Detector
Would RecommendFirst Alert AC Hardwired 120V Photoelectric Sensor Smoke Detector is an affordable way to keep you safe as it's constantly monitoring for smoke. It operates from standard household current with a battery backup in the event of a power failure. Quick and easy installation for replacing existing pre-wired smoke detectors. In most cases a screw driver is the only tool required.

Effective unit
Would RecommendOf course one does not know if these units are effective without a life-altering event, but the installation and testing were simple and confidence inspiring. The instructions were clear and as a plus, the unit came with a fresh 9 volt battery.
