What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these detectors for reliability and clear voice alerts that specify room location, enabling quick response during emergencies. The photoelectric sensor excels at detecting slow-smoldering fires, and dual smoke and carbon monoxide detection eliminates the need for separate units. Installation is effortless—customers describe it as plug-and-play with included adapters that fit existing mounts, requiring no rewiring. The interconnected system allows multiple units to communicate and sound simultaneously, providing comprehensive home protection. A small group reports occasional false alarms during cooking and notes the battery compartment is awkward to access, though most consider the investment justified for safety.

Comprehensive Safety with User-Friendly Features

Would Recommend

The First Alert Battery-operated Photoelectric Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector with Voice Alert is an exceptional safety device. One of its standout features is the photoelectric sensor, which is highly effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires that other detectors might miss. Additionally, the carbon monoxide sensor ensures you're protected from this invisible, odorless gas. The voice alert feature is particularly useful, as it clearly announces whether the danger is smoke o...

Great home safety device.

Would Recommend

The installation and interfaces were easy and well thought out. I really like the location alert function and the fact that more than one of these will sound if one goes off. If the one in the basement goes off then the one upstairs will also sound. The basement unit will broadcast the words “smoke” or carbon monoxide - basement “. Multiple locations are preprogrammed. Great featured

Great replacement for Kidde.

Would Recommend

The wiring adapters were exactly what we needed! Worked perfectly. The old Kidde system we had would have needed a rewire. Thanks for nothing Kidde.

Great if you can find your Goldilocks model

Would Recommend

I've used this line of smoke detectors for years with no issues. I like the way they interconnect. My biggest gripe is they have multiple features (interconnected or not? voice alarm or not? smoke, carbon monoxide or both? battery or hardwired?) and they don't make units that cover every combination of features. So you end up getting an alarm with added carbon monoxide detector ability (and corresponding price bump) in places where you don't need it. I'm sure that's by design. Would also really ...

Be safe with a First Alert Smoke/CO Alarm

Would Recommend

I like the aesthetics, the alarm sound, and the alarm voice. I like that it is both a smoke alarm and a carbon monoxide alarm. I like that it will be less sensitive when I cook and not go off. I like First Alert's reputation.

Latest Smoke Alarm Improvements

Would Recommend

It has been awhile since I picked smoke alarms. Changes in algorithms for photoelectric smoke alarms have supposedly made them less prone to false activations. Being able to sense carbon monoxide gas in the same alarm is a plus over having to install a separate sensing device.
