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.

I have no complaints. I bought this sometime ago and it came with the battery and was easy to install. I also like the fact that when I need to replace the battery, I simply just pull the lever to the side against taking the whole thing off the ceiling. Again, for the price its an excellent buy.

If you depend on this smoke alarm you will be sorry...it is not sensitive...it doesn't do anything...cleaned my electric oven with electrosol(creates alot of smoke) ... this alarm sat quietly ... don't depend on this alarm to save your life...it won't.
