What Customers Are Saying

The smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are generally reliable and sensitive, with easy installation and a 10-year lithium battery backup as key advantages. However, some customers report the detectors can be overly sensitive, especially in active kitchens. While the majority of reviews are positive, a small number of customers experienced issues with malfunctioning or prematurely failing units.

Protect your home with the best smoke/CO detectors

Would Recommend

Replaced and installed five of these, all hardwired and interconnected. Works as expected. Instructions were excellent, and installation was easy. Just remember to cut the power first! I wanted the latest models, and although a bit expensive, it is worth it to have the best technology and protection in any home.

Easy Installation

Would Recommend

Easy installation. Uses the same plug as the unit is was replacing. I had to replace the back ring that it screws into but that was just a matter of loosening the 2 mounting screws, turning it a little to pull it off, put the new one on and tighten the screws. The detector itself turned into the new ring. The only problem was it was a very tight fit so I turned it into the ring several times before attaching it to the wall. I did 2 of these that are interconnected and they work just fine. Since ...

Ten year battery is a plus for me.

Would Recommend

Love the 10 year battery backup option. We have high ceilings in our home and the height of the smoke and CO detectors is really too high for me to reach without a 10 ft. ladder (heavy for me to carry around the house). I'm glad to avoid that annual chore of replacing the batteries. It's interconnected to the other monitors in our home and we believe it's operating correctly. Having just installed them, I cannot comment on long term use of the item.
