Great Little Smoke Detector! Perfect for a Small Room!
So Far, So Good! I placed this compact Kidde smoke detector in my small kitchen and the standard size smoke detector in my living room a couple of months ago. No problems! Very easy to just install the batteries and mount it on the ceiling! So happy that I don’t have to deal with wires dangling from the ceiling again! And it’s great that the batteries are included! I plan to purchase more when the others need replacing.

Worth the money
Needed to replace 12 year old detectors. Did a lot of review reading before deciding to purchase these. They were definitely the best choice at the best price. Easy to install and very loud when they go off.

Ionization type
There are two basic type of smoke detectors for household – optical and ionization. The optical are becoming more common lately. They will work fine for most fires, all that create smoke. The ionization type has an advantage that it will react to combustion products before visible particles are formed. So, it could detect burning smell before smoke is formed.

SIMPLE DESIGN – GOOD VALUE
PRO – This is a basic smoke detector without CO2 detection or unnecessary bells and whistles. Bought it to protect the area where I store several 80 Volt lithium battery packs. Uses inexpensive AA batteries. Great to protect area around a clothes dryer.CON – This unit isn’t designed to protect you from potential sources of CO like a furnace or gas water heater.

Easy to install, battery powered
My attached garage did not have a smoke detector in it so I got this one specifically as it’s battery powered. We will see how long the installed batteries last, from what I’ve seen in searching (not specifically for this model), says about a year. Nice and compact though that wasn’t a needed feature for me.Tested it with a fireplace match, watched the smoke go in and nothing. Just about the time I thought I had a bum unit it went off. Note, you need to hit the red flashing light on the front to silence it, it doesn’t appear to go off on its own once the smoke source is removed. You can easily hear it in the house though it might not wake me up.Package comes complete with mounting screws and dry wall anchors.

Kiddie
I have always loved this brand and always works well for me! Doesn’t go off for stove smoke to and extent but does go off if smoke comes into the room from the fireplace.

Exact replacement
KAMAL –
I tried many times with cigarette and other low flame smoke it does not activate only a large quantity of smoke can activate it
Ishita –
Completely useless as a fire prevention/intimation device. Do not buy. The alarm is triggered only by close contact of fire and a large volume of smoke

It was working fine for a month and then it started beeping without any smoke or heat. It’s waste of money
