Only lasted 3 years
How does a 10-year battery only last 3 years? We’ve been woken up several times overnight during the past month due to false alarms and low battery chirps. The chirps are ear piercing. Thankfully we haven’t experienced a worst case scenario. But now we have to replaced $100+ worth of fire alarms 7 years too soon… definitely buying the cheap AA battery powered alarms now.

2 malfunctioned in less than a year!
I already had to replace on of the "10 year" alarms after only six months due to a constant malfunctioning alarm. Now only a few months later and the replacement is malfunctioning as well!! Battery is brand new, but the alarm won't stop beeping. Completely unreliable.

Easy to install and don’t forget to read the instructions. Remove the old ones and install the new ones. I reused one hole and made a new one, pretty easy to do.

Horrible false alarms
Not surprised that all of these reviews say the same thing - here I am, awake at 11:30pm because, once again, these alarms are going off for no reason. My husband is a firefighter. We know how to install and use and test these things. But this model is horrible. I have an extremely sensitive 7yo who has been woken up so many times by these, but tonight the offending unit is in my bedroom (thank goodness, I guess?). I have no idea what the issue is. They are less than a year old. There is no rhyme or reason besides it always being at night. I will be trashing all three tomorrow and finding something else.

I ordered another smoke detector and it’s defective and it must be returned in PRRSON. I live 2 hours one way from a store. Not happy

I had to buy a second alarm, the 1st did not work and beeped after 3 days. Either it was installed incorrect by me or was a bad alarm. The replacement (2nd purchase) worked

I was able to install the smoke alarm without problems. So far it’s working well.

I prefer these to detectors that need battery changes. One star off for high price.

Useless
Have 3 that were manufactured Nov 2022 and have dead batteries. So much for 10 year batteries.

Two years?!
Kidde Model i9010 fails randomly at any time. This one failed at two years, it goes off and then dies. Does not work as advertised.

Hello. If you have issues with our alarms again, please call us at 1-800-880-6788 while onsite with the alarms before you replace them. We do stand behind our products and we are happy to troubleshoot and figure out what is going on and get an issue resolved. False alarms are most commonly caused by something interfering with the sensor. To clean the alarm, hold the unit by its edge and thoroughly blow through the gap on the side of the unit with compressed air (like keyboard cleaner). We recommend cleaning out all of your smoke alarms at least every 6 months to a year and at this point we would recommend cleaning out all of your other alarms as well as a preventative. Some of your alarms may be in one the locations to avoid listed in the owner's manuals. This would especially include alarms being installed within 3 ft (.9m) of a forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas. We recommend that alarms not be installed near vents, flues, chimneys, or fans. We recommend that alarms not be installed near doors or windows near areas directly exposed to the weather. We strongly recommend not to install these alarms in garages, attics, and crawl spaces as you will get temperatures, dust, insects, and chemicals that can cause nuisance alarms. Try cleaning out the alarms. If you have the issue again, find the alarm setting off all of the others and call us with that alarm in hand at 1-800-880-6788 so we can get this resolved for you.

Do not Buy!
Bought this just over a year ago and one day the alarm activated at a random time. Could not get it to stop. Had to permanently disable it. Complete waste of money.

I purchased nine of these smoke detectors for my home 8 years ago, and had to replace them recently. They did not last 10 years as advertised, but were easy to replace (i.e., same mounting hardware, so just unscrewed the old alarms and simply installed the new units).
If they had lasted 10 years, they would be a 5-star product.

The convenience of a 10 year battery most interested me, I have purchased Kidde units in the past and have been pleased with them. I am renovating an area of my home and it was time to replace my old unit.

Doesn’t work
I bought this for my kid, he installed it in his house and it went off 2 times in 24 hours with no smoke or fire. Not sure what’s wrong with it.
