Great features, good price
Would RecommendThese are the only smoke detectors I install. They're reliable, have fewer unwanted alarms, and they're reasonably priced.

All in all, solid and reliable.

Would RecommendI replaced my old alarms - 10+ years old. I like that they are hard wired and have 10 year batteries. Install was simple - take one out and plug in new. Hoping they do their job!

Would RecommendYou had the smoke detectors identical to the ones I was replacing. I 1st went to a competitor, what a mistake. Couldn't even get assistance.your pricing was very reasonable. Mounting, everything perfect. Took 30 seconds to mount new ones. I must say I thought your competitor was better at stuff, im sorry, but you beat em hands down price,product, helpful associates,and thankyou for having riding carts.
