Works well

Good detector for the price. Bought this to replace 1 in the kitchen that had a mute button that didn't work. This 1 works just as it should.

Smoke Detectors

Would Recommend

My home has six interconnected smoke detectors. When replacing them I look for new ones with the identical electrical connectors. Getting a new connector on each one takes a long time and is inconvenient.These were easy.

Not very good so far

Would Not Recommend

We bought and installed 3 of them in our home. The green power light does not illuminate the LED button. You can see it flash inside when you stare at the 3 open grooves on the case. Also they tell you to install new batteries in the correct +/- orientation however no where is that marked on the instructions nor on the units. I hope they are better at detecting smoke.
