Good smoke alarm, but...

Would Recommend

We've had this model installed in our house since the place was built, and they've worked well. I'm just now replacing all five in the house because they've been in service for nearly nine years and one has started acting up, even after a battery change. The basic product is fine, but the battery compartment is awkward to work with from the top of a ladder. Also: what is the point of a carbon monoxide monitor that will virtually always be installed on or near the ceiling...? C'est la guerre.....

Easy install. Allows for single-alarm or 'ganged' alarms. Also includes locking pins for public placement. Replaced my very old detectors in the house I just bought.

Easy install, everything works!

Would Recommend

Easy to install. Was a bit confused by packaging but it is first alert. Also, the base does not fit older first alert CO2/smoke alarms (5+ years old) so had to remove and use the new base included.

twice the price as a smoke detector without CO2

Would Recommend

the detectors were easy to install, minor electrical work but nothin that a DIY'er cant accomplish. Only thing that surprised me what the price on these thing. I do appreciate that they are the combination units.

Easy Installation

Would Recommend

Easy replacement for smoke detectors that had been in my house for twenty years. The adaptor jumper wires included made installation unexpectedly simple. Happy to have combo smoke/CO finally in the house.

Online purchasing may be a frustrating experience.

Would Recommend

I ordered two fire extinguishers online. One arrived used. And I wanted it replaced. The first representatives told me I have to return it to a store even though I bought it online.. Very disappointing. I was finally able to get a label and return it. let’s see how long it takes me to get a refund or a replacement
