Replaced Original Smoke Alarms

Would Not Recommend

We replaced original smoke alarms. I’m not real happy with them. They start beeping randomly. We’ve checked batteries but still doing. Now we find the beeps are codes to be replaced. They are brand new. How can that be? Not pleased with this product.

Extra safety!

Would Recommend

These hardwired smoke detectors are fabulous! If there is smoke in any room the alarm set off on all of the alarms perfect for people who sleep with the bedroom door closed or large homes where you might not hear the alarm in another room or different floor of the house

I replaced a 15 year old smoke alarm. The extent of my handyman skills - which is zero - was never exceeded

Nice product.

Would Recommend

So during this purchase, I learned much more than I figured possible regarding smoke alarms and the differences between photo and ion sensor devices. This product exceeded my expectations with quality and function. First Alert has both Photo and ion cell detectors. I recommend reading a little on the differences between the sensors to determine which one fits your needs best. You can’t go wrong with First Alert. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Fire alarm

Would Recommend

After we installed these, they went off because I was vacuuming. It was a little hard to find out which one it was that was making the sound. Haven't had any issues since.

First Alert Hardwired Photoelectric Smoke Detector

Would Recommend

The First Alert/BRK AC Powered Photoelectric Smoke Alarm Model 7010B is a nicely designed easy to install smoke detector. The battery insert and removal tray is better than other designs I am familiar with. I feel safer for myself and my wife considering the photoelectric feature is considerably more efficient and safer than the more common ionization or ionic type of smoke detector. Interestingly, I read where the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) highly recommends installing the...
