Costumer Reviews

We have several of them that came with our new house in addition to the 1204 model smoke alarms. They are all problematic. They go through batteries every 6 months and they 'chirp' in the middle of the night. The company is not easy to deal with. Recently all of them went off at the same time at 4 am and there was no smoke or fire... the company says to vacuum them out... easy on 15 foot ceilings?... they are a bad product. I am going to replace them all with a reliable brand.

We bought one of these to replace one of our original smoke detectors about 18 months ago. We had to replace the battery every 2 or 3 months which does not make sense, considering the battery is supposed to be a backup for failure of the AC power. The unit has started a single 2 beep chirp which can happen from once every few days to a couple of times a day, not described in the manual. I have vacummed it as recommended, changed batteries, but continue to lose sleep and disconnect the unit in the middle of the night. I am ready to go try another type of unit. We are in summer with absolutely no source of CO in the house, so definitely defective. When searching the web for some help, appears short battery life and chirping is common. These may be cheaper, but if you have to replace them every 12 to 24 months, the apparent savings really turns out to be a much higher cost.
