Good smoke detector

Easy to install and easy to test. Hopefully we won't be needing it.

Effective unit

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.
