worked fine for DIY replacement
By MMK on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2022
My house has these installed already by the builder 17 yrs ago. The code says they are good for 10 yrs so I had to bite the bullet and replace them. after calling many local vendors and all of them refused to sell to non-professional client like me, I took a chance and bought from AMZ. The vendor FIRE & SAFETY PLUS returned my inquiry w a mfg date of only 2 months ago do I bought from them despite the price being a little higher. They arrived in about a week and indeed the mfg date was accurate and all 8 detectors worked fine - a blinking green light appeared after installing. Installation was simple since I left the base plate with the wiring in place and simply twisted off each old detector and twisted on the new one. Glad I didn't hire a professional to do this simple task. UPDATE: MAY 2022 We are required to get an inspection from the Fire Dept before selling a house in MA. When the FD arrived and tested some of these detectors, some of them took over a min before the audio signal is activated. Needless to say I did not pass the inspection. After they left, I tested each of the 8 detectors and MOST OF THEM had over a min delay. Only a few activated the audio signal instantly. This is where I really want to praise the vendor I used: Fire and Safety Plus. They were willing to send out 8 new detectors so that I can switch out the defective ones. I received the new badge within 4 days and were able to get 8 working detectors out of all 16. They provided a postage paid sticker so return shipping was free. So I highly recommend this vendor, even if they cost a few bucks more just in case you run into problems like I did.

Watch those Date Codes
By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024
Unit installed and works as it should Please note that I purchased these in January of 2024. The date code on the 2 units I purchased were 2081 (2022 August 1st Week). So not exactly fresh but given the 10 year life span they work. I wish more people would include the date codes in their review so as a consumer you can determine which seller is selling old but nor expired units. This is the main driver of the price. Right?
