Customer Reviews

I love the idea of this system, and as soon as I found it, I had to order a set for my home and my grandmother's home. They work as advertised. One goes off, and they all go off. Push the mute button on one, and they all silence for a bit.
I feel much safer with them in the house, but the system has one flaw. That is that there are only have 2 models available. One is a wired model that interconnects a wired and interconnected system to the battery powered wireless system, and the other is a battery powered wireless system. Both utilize ionization sensors. There is no battery powered photoelectric option, or better yet, a dual sensor version.
Here is a quote from Amazon's own product description; """This alarm uses ionization sensing technology. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible particles (associated with smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Kidde strongly recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help insure maximum detection of the various types of fire that can occur within the home.""" So Kidde knows that you should have both types, and even "strongly recommends" it, but then does not give an option to wirelessly connect both types.
There is also no wireless CO2 or combustible gas sensor. I suppose you could find wired interconnected versions of those detectors, but that is hardly an easy solution...
I'll say it once more though to emphasize; I feel much safer with this interconnected system than with my previous non-interconnected system!
I just wish Kidde would give a little more variety to this otherwise great system.
I have had the system installed for a little over a year now. There have been no false alarms, but they never fail to all go off when one is tested or detects smoke. Batteries lasted about a year. They use 3 AAA batteries each, which they do come with.

I got three of these for my elderly mother, who lives in a beautiful old house and (unfortunately) routinely walks away from the kitchen while she is frying food. I put one in the kitchen, one in the living room and one just outside her bedroom, so she'll be quickly alerted if her frying pan starts to smoke. I've tried breaking her of this dangerous habit, without success. Now at least there is much less chance that things will get out of hand.
The smoke detectors work flawlessly. When one goes off, all of them go off. You don't have to reset each detector, either. Reset any one of them, and they all stop beeping for seven minutes, giving time to clear out the smoke if the problem is minor. They're also piercingly loud.
What a great product. Now you don't have to get an electrician to hardwire smoke alarms together. They also make 110 volt models that are wirelessly networked.
