Not good..
Would Not RecommendI bought five of these alarms in September 2024. Then June 2025, each alarm started beeping/chirping within days of each other. They're not interconnected in any way. I disengage them then turned them back on and they started tripping again. Manufacturer stated they supposed to last 10 years they didn't even last a year for me. I would not purchase again
They are easy to install

Too much noise
Would Not RecommendReplaced the entire house of hardwired detectors due to age of the prior ones. Had the detector in the master aimlessly alarming the entire house. The only fix was getting a new one 91 days after and replacing it. Here we are 34 days later and the same one is an issue. Don't recommend hardwired detectors and am considering reducing the number of ones I have in my house.

Safe and long-lasting smoke detector brand.
Would RecommendThat’s impressive! It’s incredible how some devices can last decades before needing a replacement, especially something as crucial as smoke detectors. It must have been satisfying to just snap the new ones into place and have them work seamlessly. Definitely a testament to good manufacturing! Have you noticed any other household items that have stood the test of time?
