Review on πŸ”₯ X-Sense XS01: 10-Year Battery Mini Smoke Detector with LED Indicator & Silence Button - Photoelectric Smoke Fire Alarm by John Eaton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

DO NOT BUY! Fire Safety

Last December, my family and I survived a fire when our house burned down. When we moved to a new location we wanted to be sure we were protected. I bought these smoke alarms based on the 10 year battery and good reviews. Except for the first three months, one of them worked. The alarm went off, but there was no fire. No smoke, nothing. Completely false alarm. Okay, sometimes things go wrong. So I replaced that block and forgot about it. Then two nights ago the one in our room started at 3:30am. My wife and I saw in no time that the building had burned to the ground. But then again, no fire, no smoke, nothing. Another false alarm. I think I can understand one bad block, but not two. A smoke detector should warn you of a fire. A false alarm isn't as bad as not starting a fire, but it's still pretty awful. It also gives me no confidence that they will work if a fire actually breaks out. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy these fire alarms. I will NEVER buy this brand again. Is always.
