No alkaline battery in the package

Would Recommend

The specifications state that the package contents include a 9V alkaline battery. The reality is that a no name 9-volt heavy duty battery is included. The detectors instructions and the detector itself states that when battery replacement is needed, replace it with an alkaline battery. First Alert seems to be saying - DO AS IS SAY, NOT AS I DO.

Beware a possible bad lot of smoke detectors

Would Not Recommend

We had a lot of smoke from a meal I accidently had run over the pan . None of the smoke alarms alerted to the smoke in the rooms . The smoke lingered for a good 20 minutes . Took them back as we had put them in 2 weeks before . Not sure if there was a bad lot of them. We purchased 9 for our home .
