Upgrade your home

Our smoke dectors were 13 years old and a weird yellowish color because of their age. I’m assuming they hadn’t been changed since the home was built in 2007. After 3 years of living in our new to us home, and making several safety and cosmetic upgrades to our home. We finally decided to replace all the smoke detectors in our home. Yes- you’re supposed to do this every 10 years for safety reasons, but wow! I wasn’t prepared for how it would upgrade the look of the home. Sometimes it’s the littlest things to make your home sparkle.

Good replacement

Very easy to install in the same site as my last smoke detector using the same screw holes. After the initial test to see if it is operational, I haven't heard it peep (but I have only had it up for two weeks) I am looking forward to no yearly battery changes for ten years!

good product

After having a whole-home generator put in, I needed to update my smoke/carbon monoxide alarm system. These were easy to install and were compatible with my existing system. I just popped them out of the package and clicked them in. Much cheaper than having the electrician do it!

Over 10 years

Lasted over 10 years. They are factory dated Jan 8 2014. They both began to give the end of life chirp in the same night Feb 1 2025 - 2 hours apart.

Great concept, but make sure you check them

I bought several of these for my house, but had to replace 1 @the 6 year mark, and now have another that I tested and its dead @ the 8 year mark. I wonder if there is a way to get them replaced under warranty?

Goes off for no reason and can't be turned off

The alarm went off for no reason and could not be turned off. i had the permanently deactivate the alarm since the hush button wouldn't work. Issue date is April 29, 2021. Only had it installed for 3 months and now it's useless. I hope Kidde will at least replace the unit.

Hello. False alarms are most commonly caused by something interfering with the sensor. To clean, after disconnecting the alarm and removing any removable battery: hold the unit by its edge and thoroughly blow through the gap on the side of the unit with compressed air (like keyboard cleaner). We recommend cleaning out all of your smoke alarms at least every 6 months to a year and at this point we would recommend cleaning out all of your other alarms as well as a preventative. Some of your alarms may be in one the locations to avoid listed in the owner's manual. This would especially include alarms being installed within 3 ft (.9m) of a forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas. We recommend that alarms not be installed near vents, flues, chimneys, or fans. We recommend that alarms not be installed near doors or windows near areas directly exposed to the weather. We strongly recommend not to install these alarms in garages, attics, and crawl spaces as you will get temperatures, dust, insects, and chemicals that can cause nuisance alarms. Call us with that alarm in hand at 1-800-880-6788 so we can get this resolved for you.

Smoke Alarm went off without smoke

I bought several of these smoke co detectors less than 3 years ago. Today the one in my bedroom went off making an announcement that there was a fire. I checked, nor was there a fire or smoke anywhere in my house. I couldn't get it to turn off so I pit it in a box with some clothes hoping it would stop alarming and saying fire. Three hours layer, when I returned home it was still going off. I read the directions on the back in order to turn it off. Because it's a 10 year lithium battery (not even 3 years old) I had to break the seal in order for it to turn off. Now it's useless. I will stick to the old fashioned smoke detectors with a removable battery. Waste of my money. Plus there's no place to make a complaint or request a partial refund or replacement for this product.

Hello. That is exactly not true. There is a place! Call us with the alarm in hand at 1-800-880-6788 and we can help get this resolved. It sounds like some dust or debris or an insect got into the smoke chamber of the alarm and the alarm mistook the debris for smoke.

Complete garbage, battery dead, 6 months

I bought 4 of these along with 10 year smoke detectors. I like doing things 1x and not having to mess with it again. I installed this September before my new tenant moved in. Fast forward 6 months, the tenant texts how they can replace the battery because it keeps chirping. I have bought dozens of smoke detectors that use 9v batteries and I have never had one die in less than 1 year. How a 10 year smoke detector dies in 6 months is beyond. This product is garbage. It was manufactured June 2022, installed September 2022, low battery February 2023.

A piece of trash

This thing is a piece of actual junk. I paid a substantial price for it and the second it got knocked off its mount and fell it had to be killed with predjuice. I spent 30 minutes trying to silence it but the only solution was to pull the nuclear plug and discharge the battery, rendering the unit completely useless after a totally minor impact. For the amount of money spent on this item it was completely unforgivable that it would be so pathetically fragile.
