Customer Reviews
smoke detector 
2008-04-22
We have replaced all of our smoke detectors with this model. It will serve the purpose of giving us total protection
Kidde Battery Backup Photoelectric Sensor Smoke Alarm #PE120 2008-04-16
My home is linked together with 5 of these smoke detectors. One day one of them went bad and started setting all 5 of them off as they are linked to each other. Ordered an exact replacement, hooked it up and everything is working just fine again.
No Hush Button 
2008-04-14
Spoke to Tech Support. There is no Hush Button on this Photoelectric model (and the Test Button does not act in this regard either).
Go with the BRK / First Alert, Model 7010B, which has the Silence Feature (for up to 15 minutes).
Options I was looking for:
Photoelectric - This is better than Ionization, in my case, where the alarm is just outside of a bathroom - where steam can set it off (I'm replacing an AC only, Ionization. Photoelectric is less sensitive to steam). Disposing of Photoelectric detectors after 10 years is also more environmentally friendly. They do not contain americium-241, which is under the positive plate of the Ionization chamber.
AC powered with 9V battery backup - The most desirable to have
Hush Button - The 9V battery backup will keep the alarm going, even if you cut power at the circuit breaker box - Need to be able to silence a false alarm, without having to remove the battery.
Great smoke detector 2008-04-07
This is a great, easy to install detector. I was looking for a wired-in, photoelectric detector and this worked perfectly. No false alarms so far...
Worked as expected and shipped quickly.

My home has an existing 'networked' system of Kidde (originally Fyrnetics) alarms. This replacement plugged right in and worked fine. Shipping was quick. A good experience all around.
