Overall good

The product was easy to install except for the way it clips to the ceiling base. For some reason I had to loosen the base in order for the product to connect to the holding flanges on the base probably spent 2 hours working on it before I made that adjustment. Another way to connect would be helpful.

USI 3-in-1 Smart Alarm

This 3-in-1 smart alarm replaces a USI alarm that has been discontinued. The smart alarm fit the current hardwire connections perfectly and easily fastened into place. As an added bonus, the alarm is designed with a 10 year battery that lasts the life of the alarm. So no need to ever change the batteries or deal with that annoying low battery chirp. Price for the alarm is good considering all its features.

Hope This One Lasts Longer!

My home was built 2.5 years ago. There are a total of 5 smoke detectors in the house, with this one being the control. It's located in the hallway leading in from the garage, and is directly in front of the laundry room. The one that the builder installed failed about one year after I bought the house from the builder. I got a replacement from a local home improvement store, and it failed about a year later. It had a 2017 date on it, which I don't know whether that is the expiration date or the manufacture date. So I bought the replacement directly from USI. Hopefully it will last closer to 10 years.

Good Alarm / Detector to Harness Quality Questionable

I gave this a good rating because it seems like a good alarm from a technical perspective the alarm alerts for smoldering and flaming fires and carbon monoxide. I purchased two of these alarms to replace one smoke alarm that was no longer working and one that was coming up on 10 yrs from installation. I wanted interoperability between the other hard wired smoke alarms in my house US1204 and the newly purchased smoke alarms. After testing it appears that the interoperability does work. I found that attaching the detector to the harness was a bit difficult and design was cheap. In fact, one of the prongs broke off the back of the detector and I had to re-attach the prong before attaching to the harness. The US1204 seemed to have a better harness / attachment design. But it was quick to uninstall and install other than the one issue with the prong breaking off. Overall, would give the detector a good rating.

Home Smoke Alarm Replacement

All of the smoke alarms in my house had expired. Several were out of service due to false readings. These were updated direct replacements. The only reason I gave a 4, instead of a 5 on this review is because, one of the models used in my home had updated, and it is more difficult than it should be to cross-reference to a newer model number. New installations wouldn't have that issue.

Very easy replacement of old alarm

Our 12 year old combination smoke and carbon dioxide detector finally quit working as evidenced by a repetitive chirping even after installing a new 9 volt battery so I went on a search for a compatible replacement. After googling my old unit it led me to USI's website where it listed this new unit for consideration. I was most concerned about minimizing the wiring changes needed since I would be perched on a 12 foot ladder and this unit used the exact same wiring harness which meant all I had to do was replace the plastic base that came with the unit and plug in the wiring connector. Working like a charm!
