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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

4 out of 6 Not good for security

They look good but I only had 2 out of a pack of 6. The top positive review says OEM screws should be used to press the button on the alarm watch to activate it, but the screws are a long way from the button - when the screws are in the '12' and 'positions' 6", the button is either in the "3" or "9 feet" position, which is fully 90 degrees from the screws, and there is . I tested all 6 with and without screws - no difference. Detectors that worked with screws worked without them, and detectors that didn't work without screws didn't work with them either. There is a small button that is pressed by a piece of plastic when you rotate the detector into position, but it doesn't stay pressed and holding it has no positive or negative effect on the detectors. The overwhelmingly positive reviews really throw me off. I had a family member (who was unaware of my attempts to use them) install them and had the same results. Don't blame anyone, but be careful.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
