What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these hardwired photoelectric smoke detectors for straightforward installation and superior safety performance. Most highlight the quick setup process, often completing multiple units in under an hour with existing wiring compatibility. Many specifically chose photoelectric technology over ionization models, citing faster response to smoldering fires and fewer false alarms. Reviewers emphasize the peace of mind from replacing aging 10-20 year old units that produced persistent chirping. The included backup battery and clear instructions further simplify installation. A small number encountered minor mounting compatibility issues, but overall customers view this as a critical, worthwhile home safety upgrade.

Good Smoke Detector

Would Recommend

Nothing 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 Recommend

I 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 Recommend

I 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 Recommend

First 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 Recommend

Of 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.

This is the best smoke detector I have ever bought. Stylish, easy to install. It actually was put to the test saving me from a big fire. It got badly damaged by the fire, yet, it still works. Amazing smoke detector. Highly recommend it
