I have owned these for about 8 years now. here are some of the things people should know.
The good,
easy to install
has both technology
remote testing
the bad,
it didn't get a star for lifespan of the equipment, i have not had one last for over 4 years.
I didn't give it another star for reliability, I had this and a model that was 15 to twenty years old next to each other and i cant remember what exactly happened but that old thing picked up the danger and i had time to neutralize the danger by fanning the smoke. I then shut off the old detector and the new one never did go off.
bottom line is this product is still in use today by me. i still buy them because of the dual technology. i am looking for its replacement though. |

The smoke detector was easy to install and test. We are looking forward to using our TV remote to turn it off when battery gets low. Also read an article saying that ionization alarms give off too many false alerts and don't detect very dangerous smoldering fires so that people should get photoelectric alarms. Glad our new alarm has both. See full article on safety at

This detector is promoted "as microchip minimizes false alarms".
I am sorry to say that I am unable to use this particular detector.
It went off from a crock pot, hot water running, heated microwave being opened , dryer in basement being turned on,
and several times from unknown causes.
I changed the battery, which did not alter the hyper-senstivity. It is brand new out of the package.
The reason I got this detector is to alert me to kitchen situations, so at first it was put on the ceiling at the far end of kitchen furthest away from the stove.
I changed the location to an adjacent room.
There were then still alarm soundings for unknown causes, and the alarm sounded when an electric drill was used in that room.
I am disappointed and frustrated that this detector is too sensitive for use in my home.
I replaced this with an ionization detector of a different brand, which so far has not been set off by unknown
causes or false alarms.
