These units were easy to install!
Would RecommendWiring of the connector was easy; directions which came with the product were accurate; grateful there is a product like this that does away with the low battery chirps that usually occurred in our house around 2AM - not the time to be messing with getting out a ladder and swapping out a battery. :-(

So Far, So Good
Would RecommendThe new smoke detectors look much nicer than the old ones. They are replacing detectors that are roughly 20+ years old. I’m looking forward to the 10 year batteries in these new ones. I had them professionally installed by an electrician. He only took a few minutes to put them up. He tested them before he left and we haven’t heard a chirp since then. All is well.

Absolute garbage
Would Not RecommendI bought one of these, followed directions and pulled yellow tab. Unit is dead and because the battery is permanent, nothing to do but return. Really trust inspiring with your life and loved ones. I would NOT recommend this one to anyone.
