USI 2-in-1 Hardwired Smoke & Fire Smart Alarm with 10 Year Sealed Battery & Universal Smoke Sensing Technology (MI106S)

Great product. Easy to replace & Install

Reviewed: 01/26/2021 by Ken Gladney

I just replaced all of my smoke, fire, and carbon detectors in my home with the 10 year sealed battery units. I had original USI detectors in my home when we purchased the home 12 years ago. Replacement and install of 9 units was very easy. The big plus is I don't have to change 9 volt batteries twice a year, and deal with the annoying chirp. Great product!

Having both types of detectors is a big plus. 10 year battery was a feature that was essential to us - no more annual chirping from replaceable batteries. Discount for buying 6 was appreciated. Installation required care but was manageable.

Bought 8 of these to replace my current detectors when they hit expiration. They were easy to install and fit the space exactly. Tested and all work great. Love the fact the batteries are good for 10 years. Took me less than 2 hrs to replace all 8.

Great smoke alarm but poor instructions and mediocre customer service

Reviewed: 10/30/2020 by Jay Silva

The smoke alarms are really nice and easy to install. One issue I encountered though was that the plug I had was exactly the same but the wires for the model I had before had the hot and neutral wires switched. I destroyed the smoke alarm and it caught fire when I plugged it in. Customer service responded quickly and suggested a wiring issue. I suggested putting a label on the alarm indicating that they need to use the pigtail they send because other pigtails even with the same adapter may have the wires switched. There was crickets to my suggestion or an offer to discount the replacement unit. Full circle customer service should not be expected.

Customer Service Response:

We endeavor to provide the best safety equipment and customer service available, Jay. We apologize for the response. We will get this sorted out ASAP.

Ordered these as a replacement for the original alarms, also USI brand, that were installed when the house was built in 2009. They arrived quickly and were a snap to install. Needed 11 so I order two 6 packs. This was the best deal I could find on the internet even though I was going to end up with one extra. Replaced 11 detectors in under two hours.

Excellent smoke detectors

Reviewed: 07/09/2020 by Nancy Barbeau

The previous owner who built the house had USI Electric smoke detectors. I knew he researched everything, so I was confident that these were the best on the market. Doing my own research, I confirmed that. I upgraded to a model with an enclosed battery, since I have 10 detectors and high ceilings, making changing batteries every year a real hassle, not to mention the expense of the D batteries. I just had them installed yesterday by a licensed electrician as recommended. I like the design, as it's not overly large and has the same footprint as the previous ones. Very happy with the purchase.

I found the smoke detectors to be exactly as described. They were relatively easy to install and the beeper was louder than the old alarms I replaced. I really like the fact that I don't have to change the batteries on a yearly basis.

I bought these as replacement for my ten year old USI-5204. Customer support told me that these would match the electrical connectors exactly but that I would have to replace the mounting brackets. I didn't want to have to do electrical. They were wrong. The old electrical connectors would not seat into the new detectors and stay snug. In the end I had to change all of the electrical connectors. This was not what the company told me.

The smoke detectors are the topnotch detection. With the 10 year lithium batteries I can rest easy for 10 years. I had an issue with one detector on a previous order. I was very pleased with customer service. They responded quickly and had me send the old unit back, covering shipping and sent me another in short order. A great company to deal with. USI has all my future business. And I gladly refer them to my associates.

I was replacing 10 year old USI alarms that started beeping at midnight one night. I was not aware that smoke detectors had an expiration. Anyway, I specifically ordered this brand because I figured the install would be much easier -- reuse the base plate and plug...right? No, thenew & improved one was slightly different so I had to replace everything. Still, a fairly easy job.

Nice looking units. Come with very nice paint shield installed that is easy to remove. Only negative is I liked the mounting base on my older USI smoke detectors better. They were stronger and deflected less when tightened and the screws from standard 4 octagon box fit the plate better.

Initial quality is there

Reviewed: 01/16/2020 by Ben Christensen

Time will tell if the 10 year sealed battery will hold up, but initial installation was fairly easy and dual sensing technologies in one device, and having updated all detectors throughout the house gives me a sense of security and satisfaction! Looking forward to not having annoying low-battery chirps which inevitably go off at 2am! Happy 2020, see you in 2030 when I will replace them again... with any luck, battery technology will have evolved in this decade so the generation of 2030 products will have a sealed battery for 20+ years!

I needed to replace 7 units that had expired over 10 years. I asked Michelle what new units were available that were compatible with the old units. Michelle gave me several options and the new units I choose could use the same plug from the old units. So installing each new unit took about 2 minutes for each unit. I spent more time moving the ladder than it took to install them. Michelle was very quick to respond to my email. I choose units that have a 10 year sealed battery, so now I don't have to change batteries every 6 months.
