Perfect color and fit

I removed a fire alarm with emergency light that was powered by 2 x 9 volt batteries and replaced it with this one. It's much smarter to use a battery powered alarm for ten years with an emergency light more sensitive than the old one. Also, my wife, who is 76, doesn't like it when I climb stairs. A 10 year battery could be a lifetime battery in my case.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Nothing here

Bad product quality!

This product was only installed for a month and started shutting down for no reason. Tried silencing and restarting it and the green light came on, thought the problem was fixed, but after a minute or two it went off again. This went on for a few more cycles until I finally had to disable it, rendering it permanently inoperable. Revain quickly returned the money. I will never bet my family's life on this product again.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Empty

Installation Confusing

Battery life is hard to tell as I just received and installed it but if it lasts as advertised it seems like a good device at a competitive price. The only problem I had was figuring out how to orient the mounting bracket so the LED was oriented the way I wanted it when the alarm was mounted to the bracket. Some alignment marks on the mounting bracket (as provided by other companies) would be helpful. I gave the product 3 stars only because of the installation issue and the product has only…

  • Good thing

Emergency light looks good

Easy to install and good looking. Rescue light adds more sense of security. This should be very helpful in poor visibility. The sound of the alarm clock is pretty modest compared to the old one I had that woke up all the neighbors in the same house. You may miss this when you are sound asleep and the alarm clock rings outside the bedroom. Because of this, I recommend having one for each bedroom. You should also avoid installing it near bathrooms, humidifiers, or dryers that emit humid air, as…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

Good quality product

This is a multifunctional fire alarm: - There is an emergency LED light and a tricolor flashing LED: a green LED indicates normal operation, a red LED indicates an alarm status and a yellow LED indicates a fault. There is also a built-in lithium battery with a lifespan of 10 years. Convenient check button. According to the instructions, X-SENSE recommends checking the operational status of the device by pressing the test button once a week. This prevents false alarms and is ideal for use in…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Fits well, LED is nice

Bought because it has a 10 year battery and the LED seemed like a good idea. The device is packed in a very nice box that is easy to open. The ceiling clamp comes with 3 screws and drywall anchors for mounting. To install the clip, hold it up to the ceiling and mark three screw holes with a marker or pen. Then drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the drywall anchors. Insert the drywall anchors into the ceiling, then screw the bracket to the ceiling with wood screws. Tighten the screws until…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Frequency

Photocell smoke alarm that beats big brands

I've bought several Kiddie and First Alert smoke alarms over the years and they all claim ten years of battery life but not even once for 5 years. The last two were First Alert dual chamber smoke detectors that used AA batteries and both failed after a few years. I had never heard of X-Sense before buying this model, but it had excellent reviews, including from the people it saved. When I received the product I was impressed by the level of clarity of the instructions and noticed two things…

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Good mostly but...

Easy to install, smoke alarm works as advertised

Just complete the smoke alarm installation. Pretty simple and straight forward. Maximum 20 minutes. The device itself works well, quite noisy and the LED light is pretty good, not SUPER bright which will blind you but enough to glow. After 6 months of use, an overview of the updates will be published. Here are some tips to help you speed up the installation. Glass1) Use the plate as a guide and find the spot where you want to install the smoke alarm. Use a pencil and fill in 3 holes in the…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Minor issues
