kidde dual sensor smoke alarm [Posted on 2008-03-12]
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.
Much easier to set up and better than 'First Alert' dual sensor. [Posted on 2008-03-14]
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.

Haven't had occasion to observe its function, except by using the test button. It will do well.
Satisfied with this smoke detector [Posted on 2008-08-13]
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.
