As expected

Would Recommend

Replaced detectors originally install when building house. Easy to install and test. Do they work? Thank God I have had an opportunity to check that yet. That's the reason for only 4 stars.

Features are excellent but the only drawback is that the green led is tiny. If its not very dark in the room, you really need to angle yourself to even see it that it is on. I didn't even think it was working when I first connected it.

Great upgrade and replacement

Would Recommend

I replaced four 18-year-old firex sensors (discovered in our new home) with these and I feel much better now. The old ones were long past their service life and surely no good while these provide both types of smoke sensing. They're also a lot better looking than the old manila-colored detectors and the little green LED isn't too bright in the bedrooms at night--another plus. They were super easy to install and I removed the old harnesses and added the new harnesses via the twist-on connectors i...

Best Overall Smoke Detector

Would Recommend

One of the few dual-sensor smoke detectors, capable of detecting both slow and fast burning fires. Great price to boot!

First Alert Smoke Detector

Would Recommend

So far, so good. My husband was able to replace our old smoke detectors with these First Alert smoke detectors himself. He said it was like changing a light fixture (for all of you do-it-yourselfers!).

Smoke Detector

Would Recommend

This was a replacement that I had to make because it had an expiration date (I didn't know that). This is the second I have in the house and both had to be replaced. That says something about the product. The best part is that, I didn't have to reinstall it on the ceiling as the previous one fit like a glove to this replacement. That is cool.

Easy Installation

Would Recommend

This detector was a good replacement for my previous hardwired detector. It can be used both as a stand-alone and as a connected detector system. The battery backup adds a safety factor in the event the AC power source is compromised in an emergency.

Dual sensors offer best protection

Would Recommend

Bought this model because the dual sensor offers best protection from fire and Carbon monoxide protectors should be close to the floor for optimal protection. The added bonus was the battery tray that opens for replacing batteries without taking down unit.

BRK dual sensor smoke detector

Would Recommend

Easy to install to electrical box but some electrical wiring skill needed to hook connector pigtail to house 115vac wiring. Well rated for performance by leading consumer. Tone only, no voice. Would have purchased Kidde product so that wiring wouldn’t have to change , but those products are in short supply.

Solid product

Would Recommend

Just upgraded 5 hardwired units in our house. Able to use existing plugs so no wiring work needed. Did have to change all 5 bases as these wouldn't secure in the old style bases. Bonus that they came with Duracell batteries. Jesus saves and is God- Repent and trust Him to save you from your sins and eternity in the Lake of Fire-
