From the Manufacturer
There are only minutes to escape a house fire. The sooner you hear the smoke alarm, the sooner you can get out safely. Kidde interconnected Ionization smoke alarms provide early warning against fire by linking together the smoke alarms in your home, dramatically increasing your ability to hear an alarm anywhere, regardless of where the fire starts. This unit is a 120V AC powered ionization smoke alarm with Hush feature, which allows you to quickly silence nuisance alarms. This smoke alarm has the ability to function as a single unit or in an interconnected system. Install UL listed smoke alarms on every floor of your home, in hallways, inside bedrooms and outside of sleeping areas. Replace smoke alarms every 10 years. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles, associated with fast flaming fires sooner than Photoelectric alarms. Studies show both types will effectively detect either type of fire. For optimal protection, install both smoke alarm technologies in your home.

Customer Reviews

my favorite smoke alarm
I hope they continue to make these.I just love them & will continue to buy them..in my town,only alarms with battery backup are code,consequently no one sells these here..I refuse to buy things that are annoying-ALL the battery powered & hard wired battery backup alarms GO OFF when the battery voltage is low,usually in the middle of the night,& you don't know which one needs a battery-THEY ALL SOUND OFF...this Kidde i2020 alarm is hardwired into your system(I have them everywhere)& they only go off when they sense smoke-they have NO BATTERY BACKUP=NO FALSE ALARMS,OR LOST SLEEP. however:they will not work in a power outage.that rarely happens,certainly not as often as batteries go bad.I will never be awakened by bad batteries again-I'll gladly take my chances with these little jewels.they are also very inexpensive.

An inexpensive, good fire alarm.
I bought 3 of these a few months ago. My wife and I cook a lot and were getting many false alarms from cooking food with the BRK fire alarms. This fire alarm works MUCH better at false alarms. It's only gone off once since purchase, however when it did, the silence button only worked for about 10 seconds at a time, which is very annoying. The instructions say the silence should last for 8 minutes. I was forced to unplug the unit until cooking was done.

Update 2/24/09: The 8 minute silence does work - the silence button needs to be pushed in once to silence the alarm, and again to activate the 8 minute delay. It will glow red when the pause is active. This is a 5-star fire detector, but for some reason Amazon won't let me change the 3 star rating.

It was so easy, even a second grader could do it.
