Works great. Wanted an alarm that I didn’t have to keep changing the batteries. Definitely worth it. I put them on all three levels in my house.

After installing fixture motion detector not working, light will come on for 12 seconds and go out and never come back on. Made adjustments still not working.

Hello, this smoke alarm doesn't have a fixture motion detector. I think this review is for the wrong product.

False alarms, always at night
Installed two of these a month ago, one in a hallway near a bathroom and one in bedroom by door. Hallway unit seems fine, have had no issues. Bedroom unit has gone off twice in back-to-back nights waking everyone up. I don't know if the hush button does anything because it rang right through me pushing it. I had to deactivate it at 2 am by discharging the 10-year built in battery, so that unit is trash and has to be replaced after one month. Do not recommend.

Junk
I bought the smoke detector a few months back and hooked it up today (3/19/2023). I tried to test it and it's no good. I spent good hard earned money with Kidde and got junk. Im sure other people have gotten good stuff from them. I don't think I'll buy any thing from them in the future.

Malfunctioning Newly installed “10 year warranty”
A (2021) newly installed supposedly “10 Year warranty” Sealed kidde Smoke/alarm detector kept on beeping (3 long beeps) intermittently every 10-15 minutes starting 4:30 am for TWO HOURS! There was absolutely NO “Combustible Components” in the air or anywhere! I had to dislodge it from the base to determine WHAT was the reason (as it is SEALED and there’s NO PLACE for Battery) I had to put up with the annoying alarm sound and continuously push the HUSH button in order to Shut this annoying sound off!! As a chronic insomniac I am disappointed, annoyed and angry for Losing one complete night of sleep! & do not know What to Do if this continues tonight?!?

Hello. It sounds like some dust or debris or an insect got into the smoke chamber of the alarm and the alarm mistook the debris for smoke. False alarms are most commonly caused by something interfering with the sensor. To clean, 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 manual. 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, call us with that alarm in hand at 1-800-880-6788 so we can get this resolved for you.

Customer review from KiddeApr 1, 2021
Very bulky, stained, ugly
Where to begin...No smoke detector is attractive but these are in their own world of ugly. At 6" x 2", they are larger than even decade+ old units. No hoping these will blend into the ceiling with the 1/4" x 3/4" repeating dust collector gash all around the circumference. Don't let the marketing pick showing a sleek cutout fool you you; these cutouts are massive. The unit will not activate unless screwed into the base which pretty much negates the whole point of buying battery operated detectors. As an added perk (NOT!), the detector made it into sealed packaging with several stains on its face. To add to the annoyance, Kidde felt compelled to slap a residue-leaving sticker on the side of each detector. The tl;dr -- Kidde took an established product (the battery operated smoke detector) and somehow managed to fubar it into the most unattractive form possible. Buy anything else. Pass on this one unless you just like hideous.

So far so good!
Easy installation and decent price. I have not had a test case yet (thank goodness) but they appear to be operating properly and weekly push button tests have gone without a hitch. I see complaints from some consumers regarding expiration date. I think it's important to note the date on the back of the detector is actually the manufacture date, so mine was only 2 months old at time of purchase.

Get something else.
Easy instal but... We had two of these for two years. One of them after about 7 months didn't go off after falling asleep with bacon on the stove. Entire house full of smoke and only one of the two went off. The one that did go off was the farthest one from the kitchen, while the one 12 feet away didn't do anything.
Just this morning the other one went off with no fire or smoke in the house, I took it down and it wouldn't turn off with the hush button so I had to beat it with a hammer. Going today to get a different brand.

I had a late night cooking accident with a house full of smoke and not one of these went off. Not a single one, not even the one just 8 feet away from the source. I took one down and tried to set it off using a smoldering piece of paper, but it took several attempts and I had to fill it full of smoke before it would go off. My old dual power units were far more sensitive than this.

Purchased this item in Nov 2019 and received it quickly. It will need replaced in July 2020 according to the manufacturer. I saw this problem in other review but I thought that Kidde and Home Depot would have corrected this.... I was wrong.... Will not buy fire protect devices from either Home Depot or Kidde ever again. Both companies should be ashamed.

These are very easy to operate and fairly easy to install. I am probably one of the most unhandy people on the planet, so I struggled with the one on the ceiling a little bit. I was able to mount it. They activate once you attach them to the mounting plate. I put the other two up on the wall which was easy. I like that I could buy a set of three of them too.

I bought one of these today after a frustrating experience with a similar First Alert unit. I'll never buy another First Alert. I tried - and failed - to install the First Alert. On a 1 to 10 scale, when it comes to being "mechanically-inclined", I'm a 9.5.
1. The Kidde has instructions you can read. The First Alert instruction text is soooo small that it would make an attorney jealous. I could not read it, and hauling out a magnifying glass was not a good solution when trying to find the actual instructions buried somewhere in their version of War & Peace. I would advise Kidde on thing though - don't mix languages. Put the languages in separate documents.
2. The First Alert was impossible to open and install the 9V battery. I could not do it, and I couldn't find instructions on how to do it. It was like a Chinese finger puzzle. Installing the 9V battery in the Kidde is idiot-proof.
3. The First Alert will be returned to Lowes tomorrow. The Kidde is now installed.

I ordered two three packs of these alarms in April 2018, one of them started false alarming in the middle of the night in mid July 2018. Then it started again the next day and wouldn't stop going off for no reason.
There's a switch to permanently drain the battery and I tried it (although it was about 2 in the morning and I was half asleep), I twisted the lock screw to the disable position and it didn't work, was still going off. I twisted more until the plastic broke and it was still going off. I tried putting it in the sink and running water on it and it muffled the sound but still went off. I ended up having to stick a screwdriver in it to break the battery terminal away from the battery.
Anyway, I haven't had any problems with the others, I haven't had any smoke, so they haven't gone off since I've installed.
Hopefully the rest last a while and I don't have any more false alarms.
