Would RecommendI purchased 7 of these smoke detectors to replace original yellowing ones from a 15+ new build. Hubby said they were easy & fast to install. It is amazing that such a small change made the room look cleaner and newer. There is a yellow plastic item that looks like a shower cap...keep it. If you do and projects, that produce dust, simply place the yellow cap over the detector. Dust and grime are bad for detectors.

Sensitive
Would RecommendThis unit replaced a 5 year old one that failed. This new one is very sensitive to heat and smoke. We have this is our kitchen about 12 feet away from the stove. Boiling water, or opening a preheated oven will make this go off. Not complaining as its doing its job, just note that it is sensitive

Junk. Don’t buy.
Would Not RecommendI goes off on ver any little thing. The coffeemaker sets it off. If I microwave something and the steam gets to it (12 feet away) it goes off. It detectors like these that cause people not to bother with them and go unprotected.

Good price
Would RecommendGood price, easy to install. Numerous mount holes to fit various size mount electrical boxes. About 10 minutes to install
So far working fine.
Would RecommendAfter years of disapointment with the "10 year battery" smoke detectors I am trying the old fashion battery model. The batteries may last 10 years but the detectors malfunction at about 2 years. So here we are. fingers crossed.
These were easy to install.
Would RecommendReplaced a few older ones and swapped out the others to install new.
