Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire by 50%, and that's important because a home fire starts every 83 seconds! The faster you know about a fire, the faster you can start moving your family outside. The FamilyGard battery-operated smoke alarm is easy to install and has many unique features. It uses ionization smoke sensing technology with dual ionization chambers and has wide openings for easy smoke entry. The smoke alarm also features a test button for weekly testing, a convenient hinged cover, 85-decibel horn, and an audible low batter indicator. It contains a missing battery guard which ensures a battery is placed inside the smoke alarm. A 9-volt battery is included. 3-year limited warranty. Not permitted for sale in Oregon. --Bree Norlander

I agree with the previous reviewer. These are well made and sturdier than other smoke detectors. They're small and inconspicuous. They test well yet don't go off unnecessarily. I didn't find them difficult to open but I can see the battery won't be easy to replace. That's a minor inconvenience for a good smoke detector.

4.0 out of 5 stars Made somewhere other than China, January 5, 2011

This review is from: First Alert FG200B FamilyGard Smoke Alarm (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought these because they were the ONLY smoke alarms I could find that weren't made in China. They're made in Mexico and seem a bit sturdier than all the broken malfunctioning chinese Kidde and First Alerts I replaced in my home.

I rated it a 4 because it's not the best looking design, nor easiest to open. However the build quality is not as sub-par as the others.
