Customers are saying
Customers admire the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector Battery Powered for its simple setup, connectivity with Google Nest devices, and overall performance. The loud alarm volume and compatibility with existing Nest hardware are also appreciated. However, some customers noted the absence of Nest Sense features and the detector's size. Despite these concerns, the detector's design and expected long battery life are generally well-received.

Basic compared to Nest Protect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this to replace my expiring Nest Protect, as recommended by Google. It was easy to set up and they fit on the Nest Protect mounts, so it was a really painless swap. Although it does the job, it's not as design-forward as the Nest. It's much more basic aesthetically and lacks the Nest Sense features like the pathlight. They take a different type of battery so I have yet to see how long they last in comparison.

Nest replacement smoke alarm
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed replacement for Google nest. This one meshed easily with our existing Nest alarms. Missing some features that Nest had including night light feature.

Perfect Nest replacement for co/smoke smart device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great replacement to the Nest Thermostat, long battery life and reliability from a trusted company. Don't love the setup since you have to install and login to a new app to get started, rather than direct integration from Google home. But it's still relatively easy and gives peace of mind.
I would recommend this to a friend Simple and effective
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not too happy that Nest has decided to withdraw from the market, forcing us to switch to First Alert. After installing the new device, I like its minimalist design. Hope it is a stable one because my previous First Alert non-intelligent smoke detector has "false alarm" frequently.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat alternative to Google Nest
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to replace an expired Google Nest smoke/CO detector. Integrates well with the Google Home app, was able to use the same mounting bracket, so no new holes in the wall. Wish I could have activated using Google Home and not have to deal with another app/account.

Definitely recommend.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install and very reliable. I like that it combines smoke and carbon monoxide detection in one unit, so I don’t need two separate alarms. The sound is loud enough to hear clearly, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my home is protected. Definitely recommend.

Easy to set up, works like it should
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to add to my Nest smoke detectors. Was easy to connect to the First Alert app and has no problems staying on my Wi-Fi. I am going to purchase another one for another rental.

Works but a sad replacement for the nest protect.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A fine smoke alarm but a mediocre replacement for the nest protect. It is slightly worse than the protect in every way. Worse speakers, no path light, worse app integration and honestly a little bit uglier. Again it works fine but is a bit if a letdown as far as a google sanctioned replacement for the nest protect.
