Would Not RecommendMy home was built and we moved there in spring of 2018. I have 10 of these detectors spread around my home. As of today i have replaced 6 so far. Most common issue is the 9v battery tension spring. It doesn’t hold tension to the terminals so the unit keeps chirping as if the battery is dead or missing.

Easy to install
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am using the Kidde i12060 Hardwire with Smoke Alarm with Front Load Battery Backup to replace the original hardware smoke alarms in my condo. The current ones do not have battery backups in them which in South Florida you definitely need because we lose power too often. They were easy to install and I like that the battery is located in the front provides for easy access. It’s not the first type of Kidde smoke alarm I’ve had, by order of our ...

Alarmingly Useful
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got Kiddie i12060 smoke alarm. It needs to be hardwired into the wall to work and comes with a convenient front loading battery compartment. These work well so far. No annoying beeps. It doesnt go off when I boil water or steam the bathroom. I recommend Kiddie brand smoke alarms.

Great!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great smoke detector that hooks up via hardwire and also includes a battery back up. There is a push battery door on the front of the detector which makes it easy to access. Installation went smooth, this includes new wires to hard wire to the existing location and the smoke detector itself also includes a dust cover if needed for remodeling/construction. I love the hush button. I have a smoke detector located in my kitchen and I set it off whe...

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I trust the Kidde name in fire prevention, I was very happy to use the Kidde i2060 hardwire smoke alarm with battery backup when it was time to replace the smoke alarms in my home.

This is a winner!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I selected the Kidde FireX smoke alarm because it promised a quick, easy install — and it was. Oh and did I mention you can replace the battery WITHOUT removing the alarm from the bracket? Very convenient, a huge plus. Installed one in each of my two story house.

Works great!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed my Kidde i12060 Hardwire with Smoke Alarm with Front Load Battery Backup in every room of my house, plus the attic, and basement.

EASY INSTALLATION
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never tried this brand of this smoke detector / alarm. It was easy to install since I already have the in celing hardwire connection installed, I just plugged it in, attached it to the ceiling mount, which was included along with hardwire connection adapters. I pushed the test button and everything was all set; it works fine.
