Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

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 First Alert smoke alarm with silence button allows you to both silence a non-threatening alarm and to test the unit's functionality. It features a low battery alert to remind you when to change the battery and has a missing battery guard to ensure that a battery is placed inside the alarm. The side battery drawer slides open for easy battery replacement. A blinking power indicator on the unit confirms that it is receiving power. The alarm contains an optional pin to lock the battery and unit in place for tamper resistance. It can be mounted on either the ceiling or the wall and can be used in mobile homes and RVs. It includes one 9-volt battery and has a 5-year limited warranty. UL listed for safety.--Bree Norlander

3.0 out of 5 stars a bit of frustration, January 27, 2010

Normally I have had no problems with First Alert alarms; but the cover on this one was hard to remove, in order to mount it. The plastic ring was so thin that I was afraid if I forced it, it would break, finally after putting it aside a couple times to stop my frustration I was able to get it together ready to mount, which also seemed more awkward than other alarms I have put up, including another CO2/smoke alarm I purchased at the same time.
The good is the button to turn off the alarm for smoky kitchens and also the use of regular batteries rather than having to hunt down more expensive lithium ones.

It's easy to install and inexpensive to buy. I've used this same brand for over twenty years, and this is my third purchase (they have a 10-year use). I suppose I could test it by burning something, but it's always worked whenever we burned food in/on the stove! As far as I know, the test button only tests the battery charge. What more can you ask of this device?

Its a smoke detector. Can't say much about that except I bought it because the price was nice and especially for those smoky cooking kitchen times when I don't want to wave my hands but rather just press the easy off button to get silence again. Don't want anything but this one.
