Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Random False Alarms Comment: Purchased in April of 2007 and the six units worked fine until a few months ago. Now they randomly go off at various times for no apparent reason. In checking on Amazon I see where other Kidde units have had this problem and some are rated very poorly for that reason. Customer Rating: Summary: great for safety Comment: This unit will detect slow or fast fires. Here is what I did in our house... Our Bedroom, Daughters bedroom and top of the stairs we have the regular detector with a light to help us see to get out. Our spare room at the top of the stairs has a regular detector that also has the wireless feature but also hardwires in to all the others. In our bathroom we have a plug in wireless fire alarm. It gets the signal from the one in the spare room if ANY of our detectors goes off. It makes a verbal announcement that there is a fire. It is very loud and can easily be heard if you are in the shower even with a radio on. In the office at the top of the stairs we have this dual sensor alarm so if either type of fire is detected all alarms will go off. Lastly in the hallway at the bottom of our stairs we have a detector that does smoke and carbon monoxide. If it detects either it will set off all alarms including the one in the bathroom. I feel like we are covered in everyway possible. I feel all of these are much better than what was installed when we built the house 7 years ago. My father was a firefighter for 25 years and we live in a town that relies only on volunteers so I take these detectors very seriously. We have also had a very scary false alarm at 2am before. I can not imagine actually having your house burn down, the false alarm was terrifying enough. But if something terrible was to happen I want every chance to get my family out safe. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Service, Great Product Comment: There has been discussion in previous reviews about the date of manufacture. I ordered this product 4/4/08. The date of manufacture was 02/08. Kidde must have made a recent manufacture run on these. Obviously, I am very pleased. Easy installation, and it integrated well into my existing entire house detection system. Customer Rating: Summary: 1 out of 4 failed within first year. Comment: As many reviewers have indicated previously, you need to watch for old units being shipped and not just from Amazon. I purchased 4 of these in January 2007 (from another online retailer) and all had a production date of 2004. They were easy to install and seemed to work fine for the first 10 months. Then in the middle of the night one unit went off and set off all 4. Actually, a good test in that they sounded loudly and woke up everyone in the house, but it was a false alarm. After cleaning the unit (per instructions), changing batteries, rotating the units to different locations and 2 more nights of false alarms I knew I had a defective unit. I contacted Kidde and was told they would send me a new unit at no charge. Customer service was friendly and helpful, but it took them 2 months and several follow-up communications to ship me a replacement unit. I was surprised that when the new unit finally arrived, it too had a production date of 2004, and that was direct from Kidde! All in all, I'm happy with the units. I like the features, but the fact that the units were old when I got them does not sit too well with me and would make me leary of buying Kidde products in the future. Customer Rating: Summary: Good smoke detector.... Comment: Pleased with this purchase. This is an electric powered smoke detector with built-in battery back-up. Includes photo-electric and ionization to detect smoldering and fast fires, and also features a "hush" button to silence the alarm when accidently set off. It has a loud alarm, so it should be able to wake a sound sleeper. More Reviews
