Works perfect and very inexpensive compared to others on the market

I replaced my expensive/aging house alarm system with the Ring Alarm Hub and so I was in the market to replace my existing Smoke detectors that were hard wired to the house alarm. I purchased (3) of these Smoke/CO alarms as it is the only model Ring currently supports; as of Jan. 2020. Overall I am very impressed with both the technology as well as the price. Installation was a breeze as all you need to do is insert the batteries and push a button...after that it pairs itself to the Ring Alarm hub. Even though these units are battery operated (no wires) they offer a wireless feature that allows them to communicate with each other so if one unit detects a fire or CO they will all sound the alarm. If you don't have a Ring Alarm but do have a Smartthings Hub then you are in luck as this also works with Smartthings. Only one or the other though as you cannot connect a zwave device to 2 different hubs at the same time.

Works well so far (no actual fires or carbon monoxide to detect yet, but the test button works, so -- fingers crossed). It was easy to install. It's a decent price for a combination smoke/CO detector, so it's a good deal even if you don't plan to link it to a Ring system. One thing I like about First Alert products compared to Kidde is the way they designed the base. Once you attach the detector to the base, you can rotate the detector up to a little more than 90 degrees so that it "lines up" any way you want it to -- which, if you have just a bit of OCD (don't we all?), is appealing. Kidde gives you a way to line up the device too, but they do it with arrows on the base, so if you don't get the base mounted just right you're out of luck. I would recommend it to others and would buy it again if I needed another.

Connected right up with my Ring setup. Much cheaper than Nest Protect and better than the Ring listener. However, I wish there was a hardwired version. Don’t know how reliable they are, but hope I never have to find out.

Reasonably priced. Easy to install. Both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors combined. The furnace repair man said I need a carbon monoxide detector so this was the one I chose. A better price than some other stores.

Easy to install, works great! Bought for my mother in law and she says it works well, it was a great price for the value.

Good priced dual action detector. Only reason I gave 4 stars was one of the three I bought had to be returned. Every 3-4 days the dead battery chirp would go off, usually in the middle of night despite always fresh batteries. Replaced and so far, after 3 weeks all good. Very pleased over all and would recommend- easy install, nice and loud and does the job.

Love the integration with my smart home. Being able to check the battery level any time is added piece of mind. Plus it closts 25% of what NEST and others charge.

Easy to install, clean looking. Tested well. Price too was good

Nice product for a good price. Easy to install since it just takes plugging in.

Easy to install and great value for the money. It's a great addition to our office too. Compatible with Ring alarm system.

I have a couple nest smoke detectors and although I like the features, I wanted something that could be connected to my Ring security system and was less expensive. I have the optional monitoring service for my Ring alarm and once this was set up, it is now also part of that monitoring. You can also provide a custom name for each device and if activated the app tells you the detector that has gone off. The only thing that I wish this had was the ability to announce an activation by name over all my first alert devices. I would and will buy again as replacements for the nest units once they have reached end of life.

I bought this to replace a carbon monoxide detector, that was six years old, and got tired and quit. Went back with the same brand since it lasted 6 years. I went ahead and bought the combination, fire and carbon monoxide, since it was reasonably priced. I do have fire alarms in my house, but feel you can never have to many. This is the brand I had before.
