Customers say

Customers find the smoke alarm easy to install and appreciate its loud, piercing notification signal that provides peace of mind for fire safety. Moreover, the product receives positive feedback for its quality and value for money. However, the reliability and battery life receive mixed reviews - while some say it works flawlessly with Ring detectors, others report it only working for two months, and while it comes with a battery, some units arrive with dead batteries. Additionally, the wiring aspect is negative, with customers noting there's nothing for the plug to connect to.

Good battery saving smoke detector

Good battery saving smoke detector
So far so good, what I love the most is that it doesn't have a constant green light on like the one I used to have. This one flash once every minute. I think that saves some energy usage and make the battery more long lasting. Easy to setup once you read the instructions at least 3-5 times lol, it took me like 10 mins to setup. The instructions were a bit confusing at first, the pictures weren't really explaining anything, you have to read the long-written instructions to be clear on the steps. I did not put in the plastic screws to secure the detector as instructed, I only drilled in the metal screws and it's sitting in the ceiling just fine.

    Brilliant nuisance-alarm reduction and incredibly easy battery maintenance!

    If you are looking to replace an outdated or constantly chirping detector with a reliable, standalone safety device, the First Alert SMI100 Battery-Operated Smoke Alarm is an outstanding upgrade. The defining feature of this model is First Alert's Precision Detection advanced sensing technology, which is specifically engineered to meet strict modern UL 217 industry standards. This smart ionization framework is highly sophisticated—it can distinguish between real, high-velocity fire emergencies and common, non-threatening cooking smoke or shower steam. This means you can mount it near kitchens or hallways without dealing with annoying false alarms every time you sear a steak or open a hot oven.

    Maintenance on this unit is exceptionally user-friendly. It features a front-loading battery compartment, which means you can swap out the backup battery in seconds without having to twist the entire detector off its ceiling bracket. It includes a multi-purpose Test & Silence button that lets you check the electronic circuits with a single tap, or temporarily mute a nuisance alarm for up to 8 hours. When the unit finally approaches the end of its operational lifecycle, an automated end-of-life chirping warning lets you know exactly when it is time to swap out the physical detector, ensuring your living space stays continuously protected.

    These were a lot cheaper a few years ago.

    Easy to install even if you have to hard wire it. If you are replacing an old model, hard wiring is s must unless you purchase the connector sold separately

    Has mounting screws and anchors. Plastic feels a bit flimsy but once it's in place it should be fine. Other models I've bought are definitely much sturdier. Should be easy to change the battery, frame stays on wall and you rotate main part of alarm to install/remove. I am disappointed that the included Great Power battery only lasted 3 days. I've had them in other products and they are OK for months. These may be old stock with old batteries.

    Reliable Smoke Alarm That Was Quick and Easy to Install
    Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2026

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    I recently purchased the First Alert SMI100 smoke alarms and I’m really happy with them. Installation was incredibly easy since they are battery operated, so there was no wiring needed. I had both alarms mounted in just a few minutes. The design is simple and clean, and the front battery compartment makes it easy to change the battery without taking the whole unit down.

    I also like the test/silence button on the front because it makes testing the alarm quick and simple. The alarm itself is loud enough that you would definitely hear it throughout the house, which is exactly what you want for safety. The detectors use updated sensing technology designed to give early warning of fires while reducing nuisance alarms from things like cooking smoke.Overall, these smoke alarms give me peace of mind knowing my home has reliable protection. They were affordable, easy to install, and work exactly as expected. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a simple and dependable smoke alarm.
