BRK First Alert 9120BFF/ SMI100-AC Smoke Detector, Hardwired Alarm with Battery Backup, White, 1-Pack

Great smoke detector
The best smoke for your money. Why pay big nox prices when you can get the same model from Amazon cheaper. These smokes are very easy to install. The are reliable and clean looking.

Smoke Detector replaced easy
I bought this as a replacement for one that was at end of life (Lasted 8 years). Easy to install and works great!I did not notice it was not carbon monoxide detector also. So make sure you check that if you want to monitor both smoke and Carbon Monoxide.Other then that, it fits on the same bracket as my old model SC9120B that is obsolete. Uses the same 120vac connector as the old. Interconnects with the my other 4 original monitors that still work. So if you have one that is NG, (my old one, chirped 3 times every 5 minutes or so even after cleaning and replacing battery) you can just replace that one and be OK.

Great alarm at a generic price!
It took me a long time to decide which smoke detectors to buy for my house, this model or the brand made by Kiddie. My house already had the Kiddie brand and this would mean a much faster replacement for all the smoke detectors in my house. Over time the Kiddie brand tended to chirp a lot and that drove everyone in the house crazy, especially my older and wonderful dog. My daughter said a candle lit in her room also set off all the smoke detectors in our house.If you go to the store you will find these labeled “BRK” with the words “First Alert” in smaller letters underneath and they come in a yellow and black box. It is unfortunate. Yellow and black packaging reminds me of generic food items back in the 70’s and these items had a reputation for being below par. If I did not know what I was looking for I would have passed over these units in favor of something else, and I also noticed that BRK and First Alert puts their more expensive models in fancy and beautiful packaging. Thus, I fear that this company intentionally brands this “entry level” smoke detector in yellow and black to dissuade people from buying it and moving up to the more expensive models.I bought the contractor pack of this item as well as three single units to replace the nine smoke detectors in my house. All of these come with a free battery. I knew I would have to take down the old detectors, take down the mounts, and disconnect the old wiring in order that I be able to put in the new mounts and the new wiring for this smoke detector. It is a job that takes about 10 minutes at the most to completely swap out each of the units. Remember to shut off the circuit breaker!The alarm itself looks great. I like the design a lot better than the flat plastic orb. Once the new wiring harness is connected and the mount is secured to the ceiling, the new detectors snap easily into place for the wiring and you twist it onto the mount. The battery compartment is on the side and although the door for the battery looks cheap, all held up well and none broke. The alarm itself is easy to test, push the big button, and the alarm is loud enough to get anyone’s attention. So far, cross our fingers, there have been no errant cheeps and no false alarms. Now to give Kiddie credit our old alarms were nearing the end of their expected lifespan so the new ones would have probably worked as well. I admit it, I went for the name brand!
