Good for nothing, not even frisbee throwing. Great for early morning military wake up practice.
A typical example of a big company pushing a product without proper testing to make a greedy buck off of the public. I am and have been an electrician for over 34 years and I have installed hard wired smoke alarms with battery back more times than I could ever count. I replaced my smoke alarms after 10 yrs as recommended and since the same alms weren't available I picked these as a replacement since they worked with the 3 wire system installed by the builders's electrician. We too meaning my wife kids and dog were woken up all ours of the night by false alarms being triggered by one false alarm on one detector which sets the rest of them off and wakes everybody up in a panic. This has happened numerous times. I have scrupulously checked all the wiring and even tightened everything up in the panel. We have tried removing what we thought was the culprit detector and then another one would start it a few days later. I cleaned them out and everything and changed and tested all the batteries. Thinking I was missing something I saw all the reviews by others I realized that these are a bad batch of detectors and they all need to be replaced. Kiddie will be getting a phone call by me on Monday since it is Sunday. They had better not give me a stupid answer like they have given others. I want a full reimbursement from Kidde . If I was a contractor out on my own and installed these in numerous houses I probably would have or hire a lawyer to file a suite agains them to pay for the loss I would have to be responsible for to my clients. Fortunately for me , I only installed these in my own house. Such a deal 6 packs that came out to $13 a piece. Thanks Kidde you'll be hearing from me.
