    Bought to replace a previous alarm that had stopped working . Easy to install, two screws provided with plugs , actually just used the holes the old alarm had been fixed with same size base plate then just twist main body on to activate. Ten battery life so hopefully won’t need replacing for a good long time

    I bought two of these in February – one in hall way and one at top of stairs and we test them regularly. Had a small kitchen fire today – house full of smoke while I was oblivious working in my upstairs office ……….and NEITHER OF THEM went off, absolute disaster waiting to happen! Do not buy!

    Bought this to replace an old one. Looks good and fits exactly on the spot where our old alarm was fitted.
    Very easy to instal, just two screws to attach the back place then fit on and turn to activate.
    Opted for this one as wanted one with a long battery life.
    Would recommend this item.

    I was looking for a smoke alarm that I could mount easily without screws.
    This is a perfect solution.

    It doesn’t come with the adhesive pads but the smoke alarm has been designed to accommodate them which is what made me choose it.

    Simply buy the Ecence smoke alarm magnetic adhesive pads (also from Amazon for 4.99) with this and the fit is perfect. So easy to attach and remove the alarm because it’s only held with a magnet. And no awkward drilling into the ceiling.

    Couple of tips if you do intend to use adhesive rather than screws.
    Firstly, the mounting plate that comes with the alarm still has to be used.
    This confused me at first but the mount fits in a way that activates the alarm. So without it the alarm will not function. Important to know that!
    The adhesive pads go on the back of the mounting plate and the ceiling. When you do it you’ll realise the alarm was designed to fit the pads I mentioned earlier.

    Secondly. Ideally give the adhesive time to set before you put the alarm up. I put the one on the ceiling and other on the mounting plate and then left them both a few days before I attached the alarm to the ceiling.
    I’ve seen a few comments from people who seemingly did not do this. Adhesive is far more likely to work as intended if left to set before bearing any weight.

    My only criticism is that if you follow the mounting instructions when mounting to a wall, the text on the device will not be horizontal. It took me several attempts to get it horizontal enough to not upset me every time I walked downstairs. Some slotting on the mounting holes would help this greatly.

Il est aliment par une pile garantie pour 10 ans prfrable aux piles rectangulaires de 9 volts places sur les modles bon march mais qui reviennent plus chres sur la dure!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersL’appareil est facile mettre en oeuvre:
    – il y a une plaque fixer avec deux vis (fournies), pour ma part j’ai simplement pos l’appareil sur une tagre.
    – ensuite on place les 3 ergots de l’appareil sur la plaque et on tourne dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre
    – et pour tester on appuie sur le bouton (mettez votre main sur le haut parleur pour ne pas avoir les oreilles abimes).
    Donc on met en place et on attend 10 ans (dure thorique de la batterie), au lieu de changer la batterie tous les ans. Donc ce dtecteur est vraiment conomique.

    Efficace

    The battery will last 10 years, apparently, so that’s good.
    Downside is I think I’ll need to buy a new alarm after that, though, as I don’t think it’s possible to change the battery.
    But it’s 10 years, so no problem.

    Ottimo rilevatore di fumo, molto facile da installare .
    A prima vista si capisce subito che il prodotto ben fatto, i materiali sembrano molto validi, l’aspetto sarebbe potuto essere pi slanciato e meno tozzo anche se a dire la verit a soffitto fa la sua bella figura .
    Composto da una base agganciata al sensore con mezzo giro risulta molto comodo il fissaggio con dei semplici tasselli di quest’ultima, una volta fatto ci basta togliere i fermetti dalla base che andranno applicati lateralmente al sensore una volta agganciato.
    L’intervento dell’allarme puntuale e preciso senza scherzi strani con una potenza del suono non indifferente
    Ottima la batteria al litio che garantisce durata ed affidabilit nel tempo in fine caratteristica molto importante la possibilit di silenziare un qualsiasi malfunzionamento dello stesso semplicemente sganciandolo dalla sua base .

    This alarm was recommended for use in my RV to detect smoke, but the original unit of the same make and model developed a fault and went off without any smoke present so it went off and on several times. so I decided to replace it with the same model. as it just slotted in the original fitting. new one working well, just hope it lasts longer than the original. Due to the reputation of this alarm I am trusting the reputation of this model as it is fitted to many RV from the factory.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is a smoker detector with sealed in batteries designed to last 10 years. Bought it to replace another unit of different brand that lasted more than 10 years before it gave a battery warning beep. This unit came with screws and wall plugs to install it, I was too lazy to drill a hole for the wall plug, so reused the hole from the last alarm unit, and use screwed the second screw straight into the celling plaster board, seems to be strong enough to hold this alarm in place, it’s not exactly heavy so I think it will easily stay put for 10+ years.

    I used to get a lot of false alarms from cooking with the previous alarm, as it’s in the hall way outside the kitchen door. I have not had a single false alarm from this yet, so fingers crossed it is as effective should the worst happens.

    Golden Review Award: 19 From Our UsersA previous X-sense (5 year) smoke alarm failed after only two years, but I blame myself as when I did a tile repair near it a few months ago, I created a lot of fine dust which set the alarm off; so I think I clogged it up (in future I would remove any nearby smoke alarm while doing dusty work, as they just untwist from the base).
    My (10 year) X-sense alarm from two years ago fixed in another part of the house is still working perfectly. So I bought this latest 10 year alarm which fitted straight onto the old ceiling fitting from the 5 year alarm, and I am very happy with it.

    Golden Review Award: 25 From Our UsersWorks perfectly so far! I have used it for a long time now and often recommended it to my friends for its distinct advantages, such as its 10-year battery life, fewer false alarms, auto-check function which gives instant warning of faults or low battery, easy installation, etc. And it conforms to the EN 14604 standard, so I feel safer using it.
