Kidde 10Y29 10 Year Longlife Battery Optical Smoke Alarm for Home - Ten Year Sealed Lithium Battery and Sensor Life - 10 Year Warranty

Happy to find same product as previously used. My last Kidde smoke alarm was installed 27/7/2015 and lasted until 06/11/2025. The new alarm was delivered promptly on 7/11/25. I was able to fit the replacement into the existing ceiling fitting, so 10 second job. Highly recommended.

Good robust smoke detector that was easy to install in our caravan. 2 different functions with loud alert. 10 year battery included. Recommended

The product was fine but not exactly what I needed. Unfortunately the seller does not accept free returns, even though it states this on the advert, so I had to pay postage to return this item.

Safety first!

My old one started to make funny noises. My local ironmonger didn't stock them so I went online. This is exactly like the old one so I didn't need to replace the base part attached to ceiling. Remarkably easy.

Purchased Nov 2023 and installed immediately. Initially all seemed well. However from Spring 2024 I was getting an occasional spurious alarm. These events gradually became more frequent and are now occurring daily, sometimes on multiple occasions. This morning I was woken in the early hours by the alarm sounding 4 times ( 4 bursts of three blasts). There was no reason for an alarm. It has gone off again while I have been writing this review ! I did not remove the plastic tags when I installed it and so will be able to easily remove the unit when required (which might be much earlier than expected !). I would advise others to do the same. I should add that the detector was mounted in the exact location of the previous smoke detector, which I inherited with the house. This worked flawlessly for a number of years requiring only a change of battery. I would have replaced with an identical unit but these were no longer available. Since writing the above this morning the detector has gone off twice this evening. On the second occasion I was unable to hush it or stop it. I had to remove it and "hush" it outside. All in all a very poor product. I purchased a known brand expecting the quality to be good but this appears not to have been the case.

Does the job

as advertised

Gerät macht, was es soll!

prima zo als ik gevraagd heb

Très bien

Il prodotto è arrivato nei tempi e perfettamente rispondente alla necessità. Mi sento assolutamente di consigliare questo prodotto per la sicurezza della casa..

Ne ho comprato due, uno per il piano terra l'altro per la taverna. Dopo qualche mese l'alarme del primo si è staccata sensa motivo. L'ho scambiato con l'altro è dopo qualque mese, stessa storia. E' garantito 10 anni ma non ho fiducia in una eventuale riparazione o anche in uno scambio merced. Ho cercato un'altro rilevatore è ho notato che tanti consumatori hanno avuto lo stesso problema anche con modeli a batteria a durata di un anno.
