Easy to install seems ok
Easy to install though make sure you turn them on. A trusted manufacturer. Seems ok quality wise.
Gives peace of mind
This smoke alarm is ideal for a family home. I bought two. Easy to fit and a 10-year battery life means no waiting for the battery to run out, and peace of mind.
Very easy to install
Very neat and compact compared to older designs, easy to install, love the hush button facility and 10 year battery included. Would buy again if needed.
Quite good
It is quite neat and well thought off. You’re only able to test it after having it installed and not after activating battery
Value for money and good battery life
I’ve had this brand before and never had any problems with them that’s why I purchased the same brand
Not as long they say
It works a goes off when its smokey. I had one before for about a year but it stated going off randomly, but as I didn’t have to continually folk out for a load expensive 16vt batteries, I prefer the length of time and saving it makes
2 NEW ALAMS FITTED
FITTED 2 NEW KIDDE 10Y29 INSTALLED WITHIN 5 MINS NOW WE ARE SAFE … CHEERS KIDDE..
Easy to Install
Good quality product and useful to have a pack of two.
Did I do it right?
This arrived quickly and I immediately took down my faulty Fire Angel alarm. I put this one up quickly and easily and only had to drill one hole (they didn’t line up with the existing holes). I set it up in a matter of minutes. I pressed the test button and got a fairly weak response so, whilst it’s up and is hopefully ok, I am just a little unsure if I did everything right. I wud have preferred a better response from the test button.
Much smaller than its predecesso
Purchased these as replacements for our 10+ year old, Kidde smoke detectors. Unfortunately I assumed they’d be the same size as their predecessors and didn’t check the size before ordering. They were much smaller and couldn’t be positioned to cover the previous fittings so were returned. I think they would have been fine had I not needed to cover up the whole area where the old detectors had been.
Quality smoke alarm.
Needed smoke alarm for hallway. This was perfect. Good value and easy to install.
Very solid, reliable brand - quality item.
Our previous Kidde alarms finally bit the dust having worked impeccably so decided to replace like with like. Unfortunately they no longer make the ones we had, but these were the nearest thing.
Slightly smaller than expected (about the size of a saucer), comes with instructions, all fittings – a ring to affix to the ceiling, screws, plugs – and the unit itself. Installs within a minute or so. First test sound seemed quite quiet but when set to the second setting…well, I can’t imagine anyone would sleep through that!
Came as part of a deal involving two units at a very reasonable price, Primed here the next day. It says 10 year battery life – I can’t attest to that but the previous Kidde alarms did about 7 so it seems plausible at least.
Simple to install.
Quick delivery. Not over excessively packaged either. Very easy to install and test.
Pleased with my purchase.
easy operation for testing
used these detectors to replace older units there just so easy once activated they can last ten years.
Great value
Good battery if it lasts 10 years I will be happy
Works well for hard of hearing
Works for someone with hard of hearing. Only had a short while though re battery etc
A neat Produc
Easy to fit using full instructions. Were replacing Kiddie alarms which were coming up to replacement time and had given good service.
Long battery life
Arrived quickly,well packaged. It was easy to install. It’s of a height that I can check it’s working every month.
quality goods
To know that we would be safe should a fire beak ou
So far so good!
Easy to install. We have tested it and so far (thank goodness) we haven’t heard the alarm since and hopefully we won’t!
Replaces another unit that had to have the battery changed regularly so we picked this one as it has a sealed battery.
usefull alarm
Used as a smoke alarm !! Its very difficult to rate the performance of an item like this – hopefully it will work properly
Smoke alarm
Very easy to install as this was a replacement smoke alarm.
Easy to set up
Easy to fit, clear instructions. Fitted and working in minutes
Just proved its worth
Was fitted by a relative to replace one that had been in use for many years. A pan was left on the cooker recently and boiled dry before the alarm went off and was audible from some distance.
smaller than the old ones.
These are smaller than the ones they have replaced. Needed to drill new holes in the ceiling. Other than that they were quick to install. Hopefully another ten years of peace of mind.
Great buy
Easy to put up & nice size so not over seen on ceiling
Grea
Very pleased with this purchase, easily fitted, excellent value, good service, very convenient to have a 10 year battery life
a brand you know
we have had this brand before, lasted more than ten years, tested it regularly, so needed another one we can trust.
Excelle
We’ve had these before, they lasted nearly 15 years before they needed changing. Hence me buying the same again.
An excellent produc
Arrived the same day excellent quality. Fitted it to my wooden trap door so easy to fit just two screws .Dont forget you have to twist it onto the base it the tweets to let you know its active ,then you can test it . Plus it flashes red occasionally to let you know its active so all in all an excellent product. Only time will tell with the battery life
Easy to I stall
This was easy to install. It’s the first time I’ve used this make of smoke alarm. ButI have tired of replacing other units with so called 10 year battery life so decided to give this one a try. Who knows.
My concern is always to remember to test alarms , so now I have set a monthly reminder on phone and also Alexa.
Stay safe
Great value and excellent quality. Quick and easy to install
Good kit wroth buying.
Like the size,and the Fittings, yet to place on the wall.
That it's an efficient smoke alarm
Needed a smoke alarm, this one was good value for money and small enough to suit my needs.
eat smoke alarm
Works fine but I cannot comment on battery life since they are supposed to last ten years!
Good product easto use
First class replacement easy.to fit does the job it needed to
Perfec
Very easy to install and worked immediately. We have used these products in the past and battery life was excellent.
Good value. Kidde a famiar name in detectors.
The smoke detector has a 10 year battery life. No more beeping when the battery is low. Not for 10 years at least.
Eaxy to install no wiring involved. Have 3 of these detectors in my property. Happy with product.
No good
Started working ok, but it is now beeping constantly need to get a refund from Amazon .
Direct replacement for original
Exact replacement for same model that suffered battery failure after 5 years.
Good product but battery life claim is sa bit ambitious.
Smoke alarm
After buying cheaper smoke alarms we decided to pay that extra for peace of mind.
The cheaper ones would go of for no reason even in the middle of the night.
I am more settled now knowing that we have installed a smoke alarm with a good rating.
Very neat in appearance
Very neat smoke alarm easy to install. Cannot comment on battery life as only just purchased
Kidde 10Y29 RB Ten Year Life Sealed Battery Smoke Alarm
Very neat and easy to fit, I’ll review the battery life in 10yrs.
So far so good
It’s impossible to comment on the battery life but so far this seems to be functioning OK, but it has not been triggered yet so I can’t be 100% sure. The test button does work.
Ten year smoke alarm
Bought this sealed alarm to avoid having to change batteries to replace similar model, hoping that the base plate to attach the alarm to would be the same size, unfortunately not. Previous model lasted almost ten years so hopefully this will be the same.
Smoke Detector Review
This smoke detector is fairly easy to install and is priced reasonably. The test feature is easy to use and helpful for piece of mind. Only downside I can say is the screw mechanism can be quite tricky to get to work, especially if you working above your head.
Neat and compact smoke detector.
This was for my top landing, fitted in no time, very neat, compact. Pleased with produc
So far so good.
Despite some negative reviews, it seems to be behaving itself.
Much smaller than a previous Kidde smoke alarm
I purchased from Kidde in the hope the fittings were the same as the one fitted by the fire service 10 years ago. However, this recent one is much smaller so, therefore, I cannot use the same screw holes as my previous one.
Good price, easy to fit and works well.
Very easy to install and about a week after installation it worked well when a cooking mishap set it off!
Kidde 10Y29 RB Ten Year Life Sealed Battery Smoke Alarm
These smoke alarms are very necessary. I have had these in the past. I have tall ceilings and an old property, so the alarm has to be surface fixed. The fixings are easy to install. You can check the battery life weekly by the simple test button. Definitely recommend.
A smoke alarm with a 10-year lifespan seemed like a good idea. Sadly, after just six weeks in use this one decided to keep sounding its alarm, as though it had detected smoke. There is no smoke – it’s even in a space with an air purifier that’s reporting very low particulates. Turned it off, left it fresh air for a day and turned it on again. It’s immediately sounding the alarm again.
OK, no problem, I’ll use Amazon’s excellent returns process. Oh dear, the item isn’t eligible for return due to it containing hazardous materials. And I can’t request a refund unless I have already requested a return, which I am not allowed to do.
Something not right here, Amazon. Let’s hope the marketplace seller is able to help.
EDIT: Follow-up to the story is that the seller advised cleaning the unit with an air blower or vacuum cleaner. This did the trick, and it’s not gone off again, at least for the subsequent few months.
Really too early to rate!
OK A Yes easy to install
B I will let you know in 10years time or earlier if its like the one it replaced after 4 years.
C. Again I will let you know after heaven forbid we have a fire
Staright forward and simple to install
Looks like a good quality bit of kit. The battery life is guranteed for 10 years. the last one we had lasted 11, so cant complain.
This is a difficult product to review because it doesn’t do anything until you get a house fire except chirp once when you press the test button. You have to take it on trust that this means it will perform as advertised. Our old detector howled everytime we burned toast, we nicknamed it “toastie”, this improved model has a burned toast block. To be fair, our carbon monoxide detectors also depend on trusting in the test button. The UK Kiddie helpdesk had a recorded voice saying “there’s nobody here – go away” or words to that effect, and then the line dropped. One star deducted for the curt message.
Good value
Replaced another the same so hopefully this one last as long
Good quality
Easy to install and very loud. I have fitted 2 of these. Very happy.
Good value for money
Difficult to rate the battery life as supposed to last 10 years, maybe ask me again then! But otherwise gvfm and arrived on time.
Good value safety produc
Easily installed .
Compact and nice appearance and of course reassuring to know if there’s a problem it will activate.
Attractive and Pleasing Looking
It was easy to install and looks pleasing to eye after installation.
It’s neater than my previous one.
I have just installed it it is a much smaller size than my previous one.
Perfec
Very easy to install and hopefully wont hear them for 10 years
Smoke alarm
Great little alarm it replaces one that the battery had run out. Quick delivery
Safety comes first.
Easy to install.we will be able to sleep knowing we have installed fire alarm s.
Good buy
Great little item, easy to install looks the part hopefully save some life !
Arrived ontime well packaged .
Seems to work so far and very good value for money every house should have
After having no end of problems with smoke alarms which required battery replacement I decided to try this. The alarm comes with clear instructions and is very easy to activate and install, I found the siting recommendations particularly helpful. To avoid having to drill I got magnetic fixings, these are in 2 parts; each with a very strong adhesive pad to attach to both ceiling and alarm. Then the strong magnet attaches the alarm to the ceiling plate…sorted!
Smoke alarm.
Great item. Don’t have to change the battery. 10 year life. Thanks.
easy to fi
order came on time alarm looks good and 10 year battery gives peace of mind
Does the job perfec
Bought to replace one smoke alarm a fraction of the price of old one
Easy to install
Nice to know I won’t need to change the battery for 10 years
Buy from another seller who knows what they are selling
Product is good just a shame the seller has no idea what he is selling or how to deal with faulty produc
Great smoke alarm
These are excellent smoke alarms. We use them a lot for the landlord’s we work for. We never have any call backs with this brand.
Safe as houses
Every week we read about house fires and people dying, often because of smoke inhalation. These units last for 10 years which saves having to change batteries and a low cost enough to have in each room.
Twin Pack
Good price and easy to install, you screw the plate in first and the push and twist the main body… job done
he battery .long life
Excellent value for the price.
especially for the long life battery.
Don’t fall when installing.
Good value. Would have given 5 stars for battery life but have only had for about one week!
Excellent value for fire protectio
The price for the pair of alarms was very reasonable. The instructions were clear, so installation was trouble free.
They are easy to test and should last around 10 years.
Excellent value for fire protection.
Quality smoke.alarms
These were exactly as described, and easy to install, in minutes. I feel much safer now that they’re installed & that fire service recommend sealed units.
Time will tell
Easy to install. I cannot vouch for lifespan as only just received. I have bought other brands promising 10 year life and they have failed within 1-2 years.
I haven’t tested the alarm thoroughly, as I don’t wish to start a fire in my house 😉
Safety first.
They are just the job, easy to fit and look good plus the battery life is ten years.
Fire Brigade recommended. Say no more!
Highly recommended by Fire Brigade. Smaller than I imagined but it does what it says on the pack.
Read loads of reviews and decided to buy this Kidde smoke alarm, as it had lots of very good reviews. Great quality and easy to fit. Handy having big test/hush button. Also great having 10 year battery life. Delighted and would highly recommend. Super fast delivery. Fantastic seller. Thank you very much.
Good value
Well, i is functional and loud. Whether the battery lif is good is impossible to say! Only bought it a couple of moths ago! But, it blends in well and is unobrusive.
My previous Kidde smoke alarm finally died. Ordered this for its value and previous Kidde alarm had not failed me. The only issue is old one was larger and could not hide the old screw hole with new alarm so had some holes to fill too.
Nothing further to add
This was a replacement like for like. Last one only lasted 2 years before developing a fault – supposed to have 10 year life. Will see how this one does. By the way took like for like to saving reinstalling fitting in ceiling !!
I have been buying Kidde Alarms for decades. Simply follow the instructions to identify the optimum location, remove the battery guard once the alarm is securely placed, test and rest. Due to manufacturing limitations, not all alarms are created equal – And the 10 year lifespan is rarely achieved, so keep your Guarantee & Receipt. My Local Fire Station installed my Alarms for FREE 2 years ago, but as they failed early I decided to replace them with with these Kidde Alarms.
Quality and product name
I bought the kidde manufacturing fire alarms because they got a great rating. I found that these fire alarms were very easy to fit. And they are well made, I would recommend this product to everyone.
Great alarm, ten-year sealed for life.
This alarm has a 10 year battery pre-fitted. Good anyway of course, but especially so in a building with high ceilings, or in a building where there is a tenant.
good value prompt delivery
Ideal smoke alarm easy to install, (as usual too much plastic packaging)
Well made product, simple to fi
Had a cheaper device fitted decided to change. The fact that the unit has a sealed battery with a 10:year life span appealed to me . Easy to fit and appears to be well made. Will have to wait 10 years to see about battery life
good alarm
Easy to set up, no problems. Don’t know about battery life yet as I haven’t had it 10 years!
Great unit.
Great smoke detector, easy to install good unit for the price.
Just the job
I put it up easy enough ten year battery life
Will do me.
Fitted ok
Needed to renew old alarms, these were easy to fit and worked when tested
These were delivered very quickly, and well packaged. On opening I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the item! Also provided was a quick setup guide, along with an in-depth instruction document. Installation was a breeze, with all required fixings being supplied. Has a common test and hush button. Unable to really comment on battery life at the present time, but will update this review in ten years. They have a very pleasing appearance, and a non intrusive LED indicator that flashes to inform the battery condition. Overall I am very happy with my purchase, and would certainly recommend these.
Bought as a like for like replacement. Quick delivery and easy to install
Excellent alarm quality and all parts included to install correctly would recommend them to anyone
Fa il suo dovere
Perfetti e funzionano. Ho fatto del fumo cucinando e si messo in funzione. Contentissima
First Class
After reading enclosed instructions,it was easy to install.Good item.
Simple to fit .works well and no battery changes so brillia
