The Kidde Smoke Detector, 10-Year Battery, Photoelectric Sensor Smoke Alarm, model p3010l, uses photoelectric sensor technology to detect visible fire particles (associated with smoldering fires). When smoke or fire is detected, an 85-decibel alarm will sound. The Kidde Smoke Detector is powered by a 10-year lithium battery, for coverage during a power failure, while eliminating the need for battery changes. A test-hush button allows you to test the battery operations as well as silence nuisance alarms that may occur from cooking or shower steam. The Kidde Smoke Detector will chirp when it’s time to replace the battery. Install a smoke detector & carbon monoxide detector on every level of your home and near bedrooms to help keep your family safe from fire & poisonous gas. UL Certified with a 10-year limited manufacturer’s warranty. Meets requirements of UL 217, NFPA72 (chapter 11 2002 edition), NFPA101 (One and two-family dwellings), and Federal Housing Authority (FHA).

Solid and reliable smoke detector from a trusted brand.
We purchased Kidde again as we’ve trusted this brand with our smoke detectors for decades, and our existing unit was at end of life. Really like the fact there are no replacement batteries…runs for 10 years and then needs a full replacement.**Caution**. The only thing that initially confused me is the “test” function only works when the unit is attached to the ceiling/wall mount itself. I first tried to test the unit out of the box, and nothing happened.I then noticed in the instructions the test feature will only work once the unit is attached to the circular mounting bracket. Recommend Kidde makes this more visible (perhaps a sticker on unit) to avoid false negative tests, as this is different than prior generation models.

Great product!
This detector is a quality made alarm. The battery life has been great so far. It detects smoke almost minutely. But that’s just a guarantee of safety.

Seems to work well, but…..
This was simple to set up and install, and there aren’t many false alarms. But… I haven’t had a fire in the house, so I can’t really say how it would perform under pressure! Also, although it says it has a ten-year battery, it still seemed fine on its ten year anniversary. Don’t do what I did: keep it running to see how long it will really last. When it finally died three months later, it started beeping, and I could not get it to SHUT UP! There is a mechanism that is supposed stop the beeping, but it didn’t work. I ended up having to destroy it with a hammer.

Garbage – poor engineering
This “10-year” smoke detector started nuisance alarming 9 months after installation. There was no smoke or other air quality issues at the location and temperature and humidity were within tolerance per Kidde’s specs. The unit continued to alarm even when relocated outside.I would have just chalked it up as another crappy product and let it go, but my annoyance from when I replaced it has motivated me to write this review.Because I did not want to drill additional holes into the surface the unit was mounted on I went with a different model of Kidde smoke detector that was of the same form factor and similar mounting style that I purchased from a local vendor. This new model “20SD10” promoted the feature of “reduced nuisance alarms”. We shall see.My annoyance is caused by the fact that although the mounting hole pattern is similar, it is in fact designed in a way that certainly will prevent the installer from using the same mounting holes.In the accompanying picture, you will see that there are holes and slots. The slots on the two models go opposite directions, making it extremely unlikely that the installer will get two existing holes in the mounting surface to match up with the new bracket. Additionally, the holes/slots are recessed, so just opening up a hole or slot in the plastic will not work. The installer is forced to drill in yet another hole to accommodate what should be a like-for-like replacement. Orienting the slots to bisect the radius rather that along the radius serves no purpose that I can see. With the slot oriented sling the radius the base could be adapted to different hole spacings.This is a textbook example of engineering that ignores the needs of the installer by taking no consideration of legacy products and the very likely scenario that the unit will be purchased by someone replacing an older unit from the same manufacturer or even from a different manufacturer.

They last exactly 10 years!
I had installed the same Kidde model a decade ago in several rooms, more or less at the same time. They reached end-of-life and started beeping within a day or two of each other, so I purchased replacements of the same model. Installation was trivial, since the same plastic mounting plate worked and no tools were required.I had recorded the dates of installation 10 years ago, and was surprised to find that the working life was within a few days of 10 years. It appears that this must be due to an internal timer of some sort, and is unlikely to be simply a result of the lithium cell running low.Taking this precise timing into account, I decided to install my new set of Detectors one by one, a few days apart. That way, they hopefully won’t all expire simultaneously in another decade, leaving us vulnerable until replacements can be ordered and installed!

Brand new, name brand sensors delivered right to a busy person’s door! Replaced my faulty ones with these units and perfect fit (old ones were past their useful life) , will buy again when my other ones need replacement. Thanks Amazon for saving me so many hours trying to find/buy so many things I need in this life haha! Go Prime baby!!
