Bought a dozen for the house. Several chirp for no reason. (Not consistent with anything in the instruction manual) I wonder how many people just pull these things out and hope for the best because nobody can still make a decent detector in 2022.

Didn't last long

Installed 6 of these 18 months ago. Three of them are giving intermittent 3 beep alerts in the middle of the night. I am replacing them with Model 3120B and hoping for the best.

These are great for the price, and easy to install. They have a battery backup if the power happens to go out.

Testing gives off chips not friendly to dogs.

Would Recommend

This First Alert unit was accommodated by the First Alert unit already installed in home system. Bezel on ceiling worked with new unit as did pig tail from hard wired house unit previously installed.Tt

Easy to install and test.

We purchased these to replace detectors in our home after learning you need to replace them after 10years. They were easy to install and test. We have not had any issues with them.
