10-Year Battery Talking Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm: FIRST ALERT BRK PRC710V - White Review

I love this item. I would give 5 stars but the instructions inside are wrong. I had to watch YouTube videos to figure out how to change rooms. You need to press the button 5 times to get into the menu and not long press the button as instructed in the instructions. The fact that the video exists shows I'm not the only one struggling with this.

I have had several first alert products and have had problems with all of them. It's less than a year old and I just got a false alarm and couldn't turn it off. I had to tap with a hammer to stop the noise. This is dangerous! If you can't trust your fire alarm, then what do you do! I will not buy any other product, first warning. You must be ashamed! I will do everything in my power to ensure that others do not endanger themselves with your products.

I recently installed this in my living room/kitchen and was initially pleased. But just last night, within 2 months of purchase and installation, the smoke alarm started beeping constantly and saying "fault, fault, replace smoke alarm." I consulted the manual, and sure enough - it's clearly faulty , and now I have to completely replace the smoke alarm. NOT happy that something so important could be of such crappy quality - wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Purchased. I followed the installation instructions exactly. It wasn't activated when I installed it. Revain immediately replaced him. The second didn't work either. Called First Alert Support. The tech had me check the disable tab on the back, which was the suspected problem. After checking it she told me it should work but it still won't activate. The battery has not expired. Neither unit was ever activated. Conclusion: I tried two of them and none of them activated. Buy something else.

Exactly one year after installation, it started working out of the blue. Three beeps and a voice message for fire and evacuation. I had to turn it off. All in all, it's not the best recipe for a comfortable day with all that running around and climbing chairs at 4:00 am. Production date is February 2019. Before I bought an alarm clock, I studied it. There were many reports of false activations with the first hardware release. The company promised that the issue was fixed in this updated…

Installed several alarms in my home where needed to prepare it for sale to comply with Massachusetts regulations. This non-removable battery operated 10-year sealed talking carbon monoxide and smoke alarm combo was easy to install and set up, and complied with applicable Massachusetts laws for the age of my property. I found it to be a very good value at $34.99 each with a list price of $54.99 and a much cheaper price than all local alternatives on Cape Cod. Free shipping came within 4 days…

This model has a production date of November 2020. I bought it in January 2021. The first time it triggered for no reason and indicated a fire, I thought maybe the sensor was kind of dusty etc. Reset it with the "Disable" switch on the back and try again. Everything was fine for a while, then at 4:30 the "fire" started roaring when there was no evidence of smoke, fire, etc. It was installed under the ceiling in the living room, away from direct sunlight and about 25 feet from the kitchen. .
