Excellent product!

Excellent replacement for my older First Alert smoke detectors. Simple to install and the ability to replace batteries without removing the unit from the ceiling mount is a big plus. I needed 7 units so I bought this and a contractor's pack of 6. Also, Consumer Reports gives these units one of its best rarings.

Excellent Product!

Installing these smoke detectors was simple. The feature where you can replace the battery without removing the unit from the ceiling mount is a big plus. The hard wired, interconnected nature of these makes them an excellent replacement for my old smoke detectors.

Modern smoke detectors

Would Recommend

The fact that it’s hardwired with a battery back up. If one is activated, all are connected and are activated also.
