Ratings & Reviews for First Alert Battery-operated Photoelectric Smoke detector

I like the product. Works great.

Easy use smoke alarms

I recently bought three of these. I like that they are battery operated and can be installed anywhere. They are easy to use and easy to install. Very pleased with these.

Awesome unit

Great price and product. Would buy again

Easy to update in my home

We needed a new smoke detector and shopped at different stores in town. This product met our expectations and was better than others offered at other stores based on price and features. I like the features of this alarm. It was easy to install.

10 year battery smoke detector

Easy to open. Easy to install. No more battery checks. No worries for ten years

Meh

These go up like most at first (two screws for the mounting plate, then twist into place). It does not lock at all, so it's a bit loose unless you use a separate screw. The room customization is quite irritating to set, but you don't need to do it for the detectors to work. Otherwise, they are pretty much like any other detector. No false alarms so far. Good enough.

I bought these to replace a couple in my house that had randomly died. These were easy to activate and install. One fit on the existing bracket and just clicked right in. The other didn't fit, but I was able to take off the old bracket and fit the new one into the same screw holes with the included screws. Test worked fine and I've trusted it since.

FIRST ALERT HAD TO REPLACE FOUR

I had to have four new ones replaced by the manufacturer within a year. They went off for no reason. You can only "turn them off" with a switch and they are not able to be used after that. First Alert did send me replacements but still.

Great product

Basic and Easy

Had one go out in my kitchen. Grabbed the 2pk to replace it and the one in the hallway since they were installed at the same time. Installation was a breeze and the long battery life is a plus.
