As A Smoke Alarm Collector, I wanted to give my input on the Kidde 10SDR Smoke Alarm. First of all, it’s only 4 inches in diameter! This is a really good trait of this alarm for people who don’t want the eyesore of 5 inch alarms. Second, it features Kidde’s DETECT Technology, which detects up to 25% faster than legacy models, while reducing those annoying cooking nuisance alarms by using a Multi-Criteria Optical (MCO) Firmware-Enhanced Photoelectric Sensor to measure smoke particles to determine a threat, or a false alarm. Third, it uses convenient, easy to buy AA Batteries, compared to more expensive 9V batteries. Now, it’s performance. Most People on Influenster don’t have the equipment necessary to properly test it. When I sprayed Smoke Centurion directly from the front of the unit, it alarmed faster than your typical Ionization Smoke Alarm, and the Hush feature wasn’t stubborn, and silenced on the first attempt. However, there’s a few problems… First, it can’t fit on the legacy Kidde i9040 Mounting Bracket, meaning you have to go through the hassle of swapping out the Mounting Bracket when replacing. Second, it went off to a… humidifier? That’s already going to be VERY problematic for homeowners… and there’s no Bug Grille to protect from dust or insects. Third when it dropped off my bed, the cover came off! Thankfully, it’s a simple Snap-Together design, and can be reassembled. Overall it’s a decent choice, but just remember to vacuum or use compressed air around the vents of the Alarm, and don’t put a humidifier too close to it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do like how this is a small size smoke alarm for small spaces. However, it would be nice if it also had co2 detection as most devices seem to have. And, having it be AA batteries is the only downside for us as it seems the batteries always seem to stop working at 2 am where you’re sleeping, so a wall plug in would be nice to have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Small and compact, this smoke detector is a great addition to our home. The sensitivity seems better than most that go off with a little oven cooking. Tested the sound and it would be great to alert in case of an emergency.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how small this is! It doesn't stick out like the bigger ones we have. This came at a great time as we are remodeling and needed new smoke detectors. It was very easy to install. We tested it out and for such a small device, it packs a punch with the alert. We will be purchasing more of these for the rest of the house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]  well, I’m glad that I cannot truly give a review of this product because I haven’t had to test it. However, this was simple to install and I am sure that it will do a great job if I ever need to be alerted of smoke in My Home. 

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think fire/smoke detectors are one of the best safety items you can have in your home. That’s said - they aren’t super appealing visually. I like how small this one is- shorter than a pair of women’s sunglasses!!! It’s easy to install- it has screws, but I think it would also work well with paint safe adhesive strips.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Detect Smoke alarm is a great compact smoke alarm option to have in the home. I like the size of it, and how easy it is to use. It works with 2 AA batteries, and can be tested as well. (Careful when testing with the loud sound!) We put it in our living room, better safe than sorry. Make sure to read the manual as well, it has a clear guide on places to avoid putting it in (ex. garage, dusty areas) Would definitely recommend this product. Thank you for sending this for me to try, Influenster!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Kiddie Detect Smoke Alarm complimentary from Influenster to facilitate my honest review. This unit contains everything needed to install except a screwdriver. It's alarm is very loud with a high pitched and loud alarm. It contains a button to test the battery life and suggests being checked once a week. It's attractive looking and I found it easy to install.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little smoke alarm was perfect for our basement guest room. Installation was very easy and feels secure against the ceiling. I love the long battery life, and will be sure to change when we change the clocks each year. I feel more confident our basement is safe when space heaters are on now with the addition to this smoke detector.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a high quality smoke alarm. I like that it came with batteries already in it. You just pull the tab and it’s ready to go. It’s good in small spaces. It’s attractive looking and easy to set up. Just pull the tab and ready to go.
