Amazon.com Item Description
The AC-powered, hardwired Kidde i12060 ionization smoke alarm is developed to shield you and your loved ones from the dangers of smoke and fire. This smoke alarm's trademarked hush function makes it possible for you to silence nuisance alarms, when an indicator LED and a test feature let you quickly confirm that the alarm is operating. This wire-in smoke detector also has a battery backup function (with included 9-volt battery), and its front battery door makes replacing the battery very easy for everyone.

Features
The Kidde i12060 smoke alarm provides a tamper-resistant feature to deter vandalism or theft and a intelligent interconnect system that connects with up to 24 Kidde devices--like other smoke alarms plus carbon monoxide and heat alarms. The battery-backup feature (9-volt battery included) delivers protection even for the duration of energy outages, when a lot of CO incidences happen. The front-loading battery door permits customers to modify the battery without removing the alarm from the mounting bracket, creating battery replacement simple and easy and handy. It has a large mounting base that assists shield surface paint from dirt and covers imperfections, and its pre-stripped wiring harness has an very easy-off cap and tinned strands to increase conductivity.
By pressing the hush button, you can simply and safely silence nuisance alarms triggered by non-emergency circumstances, such as overcooked dinners. This feature desensitizes the alarm for around seven minutes. For the duration of this time, the alarm chirps each 30 to 40 seconds. If the smoke is also dense, the hush function is overridden and the alarm nevertheless sounds, and the alarm automatically resets at the end of the seven minutes. This convenient safety measure eliminates the temptation to eliminate the alarm's battery, which creates an unsafe situation.
The Kidde i12060 smoke alarm utilizes ionization sensing technologies, which may detect invisible fire particles (connected with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible particles (associated with smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Kidde recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to insure maximum detection.

Customer Reviews

Less than a year ago, I replaced all the smoke detectors in my home with the Kidde i12060. They go off for no reason- we dont smoke, and cooking doesnt set them off. They just go bad. I checked the batteries- they are still good. I am so tired of the false alarms that I am going to replace them all with a different brand. I see that these have good ratings from others, but I just wanted to share my bad experiance so that you are forewarned.

I have five of these in my home. About a year ago I replaced them all due to random false alarms (they were about 8 years old). Since then I've had to replace two of the new ones due to false alarms. I'm pulling them all out and replacing with another brand. Quality on these is extremely poor.
