Kidde Smoke Detector, 10-Year Battery, Photoelectric Sensor Smoke Alarm, White

This was the same model originally installed in my home. It was guaranteed for 10 years and lasted 13 before the battery finally gave out. I wanted an identical replacement so I wouldn’t have to change the mounting plate.Installation couldn’t have been easier: I placed the new detector into the old slot, gave it a twist, and it turned on. It prompted me to push a button, ran through a voice test confirming that everything was working, and that was it. The entire process took about 15 seconds. Yippee skippy!

Does the job. Bought 3 of them as replacements of my old ones.

Easy to mount. Like the long life battery

Needed to replace my smoke detector and I hate having to change the batteries so this one is good for 10 years. Yay!!

UPDATE: Having gone to all the trouble to mount this piece of rubbish, it then proceeded to go off randomly, about once a week when there is no smoke present. Let me be clear: we have two bedrooms with adjoining doors. We have smoke detectors mounted just inside the doorway for both. Even if no-one is cooking or showering or doing anything that could conceivably introduce any particulate matter into the air, this smoke detector goes off. It's only been 3 months! Totally defective, and horrible to de-activate. I'll never buy Kidde again, especially since I'll have to switch all the baseplates anyway! Kidde, you just lost a customer.These products have to be replaced every 10 years. Once the final alarm goes off, you have to break the tab to shut it up and the battery cannot be replaced. Apart from being terrible for the environment, it forces you to buy a brand new detector. So I did. I looked it up by the model number and I bought exactly the same model as was installed just about 10 years ago (it only lasted 9 years, btw). AND THE MOUNTING PLATE IS DIFFERENT. Words cannot express my annoyance. I just want to point out the mounting plate does not need to change. There's no reason to change it, other than to force me to purchase some spackle and spend 30 minutes installing this thing when it should have taken 30 seconds. I'm writing this review in the hope that someone from Kidde reads this, feels some remorse and decides that they will just have a standard mounting plate for the next decade or two. That's all I ask.

Easy to install and works well.

It's attractive for a detector. Fairly compact. Choice of alert sound and/or voice. So far it hasn't given false alerts when cooking. Attachment plate makes installation/activation easy

Easy to put up and lasts 10 years.
