Protect the home or office from both fast burning and smoldering fires with this dual-sensor smoke alarm from Kidde. The unit features both ionization and photoelectric sensors for detecting both smoke and flame. A loud 85-decibel alarm sounds when smoke is detected. If the alarm sounds during smoky cooking accidents, a hush button lets you turn off the alarm. The unit mounts easily thanks to an adjustable mounting bracket. UL listed, this alarm is not permitted for sale in Oregon. --Brian D. Olson

Decent smoke detector
»
Picked it up on a discount via a company initiative to ensure everyone had adequate smoke detectors in their homes. It was easy to install and seems reliable.

Satisfied with this smoke detector
»
Even though there are many, many types of smoke detectors available, there really isn't much choice. Literature on fire safety says to get one that has both the ionization feature and the photoelectric feature. You see many that only have one feature or they combine it with a carbon monoxide detector. Get a smoke detector that focuses on its job. Get a separate carbon monoxide detector and locate it down at your level instead of high on a ceiling.
The alarm is nice and loud, which I need. I wish it could wirelessly activate the other alarms when it goes off. You have to remove the smoke detector to change the battery, but that is very easy to do.
Don't forget to mark on your long term calendar to replace it in 8-10 years. The ionization feature may not work after that.

Haven't had occasion to observe its function, except by using the test button. It will do well.

Much easier to set up and better than 'First Alert' dual sensor.
»
I had purchased the 'First Alert' dual sensor alarm (with remote feature), and it gave me nothing but false alarms, some in the middle of the night! Not so with the Kidde. Plus getting to and installing the 9V battery was much much easier on the Kidde than on the unintuitive 'First Alert'. This Kidde dual sensor alarm is the way to go if you want simplicity, ease of use, and peace of mind. I think I am going to purchase a few more now that I know this model works flawlessly.

The common complaint about the dual sensor alarm is "false alarms".I have had the five alarms installed for three weeks and no "false alarms" and my house has a working wood stove.
