Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Added and convenient protection for your home
As a do-it-yourselfer I appreciate the ease of which it took to switch out my old detectors. The detectors I received were sent directly to my home within a couple of days and had new date codes. As a firefighter I appreciate the dual sensor feature which provides my family added protection from all types of fires. The hush feature is also an added bonus to prevent the tempatation of disconnecting the detector when dinner gets a little over cooked.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Much better than my old one
I have two wired smoke detectors in the hallways and battery detectors in the bedrooms. I like the "hush" button and the quick release connector for the power.

Basically, the same comments as I made for the battery-only version:

Even though there are many, many types of smoke detectors available, there really isn't much choice. Literature on fire safety says to get one that has both the ionization feature and the photoelectric feature. You see many that only have one ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Detector, Impossible to Find in Stores
Fantastic product, and it was absolutely impossible to find this model in stores. I really like the dual protection against flash fires and smoldering fires, and I especially like the interconnection feature--I have interconnections across three floors. Units that were shipped were brand-new manufacture dates, less than a few months old. Very pleased both with the detectors and the folks that shipped them to me.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Random False Alarms
Purchased in April of 2007 and the six units worked fine until a few months ago. Now they randomly go off at various times for no apparent reason. In checking on Amazon I see where other Kidde units have had this problem and some are rated very poorly for that reason.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great for safety
This unit will detect slow or fast fires. Here is what I did in our house... Our Bedroom, Daughters bedroom and top of the stairs we have the regular detector with a light to help us see to get out. Our spare room at the top of the stairs has a regular detector that also has the wireless feature but also hardwires in to all the others. In our bathroom we have a plug in wireless fire alarm. It gets the signal from the one in the spare room if ANY of our detectors goes off. It makes a verbal announcement ... Read More
