Customer Reviews

Based on a single installation involving this item in a complex system on two wired interlinked zones with a wireless interlinking bridge between zones (see First Alert's OneLink line), I recommend this product.
The best feature of this product is that it is a rare smoke/CO combination detector whose smoke detection technology is the vastly-superior PHOTOELECTRIC type. Although photoelectric technology is becoming more common on smoke-only detectors, very few smoke/CO combination detectors use photoelectric technology.
Although the research seems to have been quashed in the United States, New Zealand fire safety officials have identified the shortcomings of the more common, ionization type detectors as a major life safety hazard due to their under-performance in the most common type of incipient fire situations: smoldering furniture. Ionization detection technology is great for making a racket when you burn your toast, but may sense nothing, even enclosed in an air-tight fish tank filled to opaque with smoldering furniture padding smoke! Check out YouTube search "New Zealand ionization detector test".

Massachusetts Fire Code has very specific requirements for combination CO/smoke detectors. This is the only model made by First Alert that will currently pass an inspection, as far as I know.
I installed 4 of them, replacing four SC9120B devices that I erroneously purchased to replace the original SC7010B. The connectors are compatible, so I did not have to change the wiring. What I don't understand is why each model comes with its own mounting base and they are not interchangeable. Swapping out the bases made this take much longer than it would have otherwise, but overall the installation was a simple task and I had no issues whatsoever. No false alarms or other malfunction after 2 weeks.
