    First Alert SA303CN3 Battery Powered Smoke Alarm with Silence Button

    • The style is less intrusive then the old detectors.
    • The detector comes with a battery and is ready to install pretty much right out of the package, although I really don't "love" the way the battery is inserted into the device--I cannot tell at a glance which side the Positive connector is on, so once I figured out which way was which, I marked the inside of the battery compartment with a "+" and "-" symbol in fine-point magic marker to make replacing the battery go a lot quicker.
    • These are very nice detectors
    • Great smoke detectors
    • Love this new smoke detector
    • So far these are the best detectors I have bought.
    • Detector works great and has a nifty button to cancel alarm (especially when we burn the toast often
    • It appears to be a good quality smoke detector.
    • I had smoke detectors of other makes before, without this "problem"
    • Great as an additional smoke detector, battery only.
    • It took me a few minutes to figure out how to maneuver the battery into position, but overall these detectors are easy to install and look great on the wall because you don't notice them.
    • Installation is simple, detector is loud and easy to operate.
    • Had to relocate both detectors (first and second floor) to less desirable locations, as both detectors would sound alarm when cooking average and basic meals like a meatloaf.
    • Cheaper than new battery each year and replacement is a great way to make sure you have best working detectors.
    • This is an easy to install, compact smoke detector with a battery that should last (they claim) 10 years
    • very good smoke detector
    • Occasionally I will cook something that creates a lot of smoke, the one nearest my kitchen goes off just like my old detector did
    • Great little smoke detectors, easy to install, Great Price.
    • Excellent pricing and value on a good basic smoke detector from a well know manufacturer and the long life battery is a great feature.
    • A solid smoke detector, but it comes with a bracket with variable holes so that it can easily been installed over a former smoke detector installation, even one that's 40 years old.
    • I will not buy a First Alert Fire or CO detector again as their quality has sunk to a new low
    • Replaced a detector nearing end of life with this, like the idea of not having to change batteries.
    • Great detector with light that comes on when activated.
    • This is the nicest smoke detector I've ever purchased
    • This is a good smoke detector.
    • The unit works as described but......the light is not very bright, the plastic housing is thin, and the horn is weaker than the more expensive detectors I have
    • Kind of a weird thought, but shouldn't you really want to trust your smoke detector
    • It's a pretty cheap basic smoke detector, but I'm sure it will work if something happens.
    • Honestly I think the cheap detectors or more sensitive than the expensive ones, and are probably more likely to save your life.
    • GreAt for the price, easy g o install, easy to turn off as it is very sensitive, you just have to remember to turn it back on
