Don't buy this brand
Don't buy this brand. Nothing but false alarms in the middle of the night. This thing is 2 weeks old and goes off in the middle of the night for no reason. It's garbage.

STOP changing the mounting bracket every few years! Replacing a smoke detector should be simple—not require removing and reinstalling a new plastic ceiling mount every time. Are there really that many breakthroughs in smoke-detector mounting technology? Worse, a “10-year” detector starts randomly beeping after only 4 years. Then the replacement won’t fit the old mount. Standardize the bracket! This is a smoke detector, not a remodeling project.

1 star is a gift. These are junk. We have issues for years. Replaced all new batteries, etc. junk do not buy. No customer support.

I replaced 7 smoke detectors with new kidde detectors that were supposed to last 10 years. After just a year, the alarms started randomly going off usually at 2am. The alarms are not easy to reset or quiet leading to several early mornings where an alarm was thrown into the yard or crushed with a hammer. There are much better options out there and I have replaced all of my kidde detectors with other brands.

Like many others, we were woken up in the middle of the night from this smoke detector for no reason. If the batteries are dying why can’t it just do the regular chirp?? Would not recommend unless you love waking up with a huge adrenaline rush at 3am

Absolute rubbish! Drains batteries so quickly that you need to replace batteries at least once a month!

I ordered smoke detectors for my house, replacing the exact ones that were originally installed. I paid $219.00 for two of them. What the seller sent me was a different version with the cost of just $58.00 each. I reached out to the seller and they never responded. Americamart and Kidde are a rip off and I would not recommend buying anything from them
