Dead battery out of the box

Bad right out of the box. Green light will not light up. I think that's how I'm supposed to know it is on? There is nothing in the manual about the darn green light. This is going right back to the store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

NO PEACE OR SECURITY WITH THIS UNIT

Frequency of use:Daily
Gender:Female
Very frustrating and annoying to be spending good money on a product that is supposed to keep you safe and give you a peace of mind and security only to have it be defective right away.
We replaced two old smoke detectors with the KIDDE 20SD10. It has been just over a month and the units keeps randomly going off. Multiple time during the night and day.
It is very frightening and frustrating to be woken up in the middle of the night multiple times by the alarm to sounding only to have it be faulty.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This 2024 unit is supposed to have a 10 year life. The fault alarm woke us up in the middle of the night, and then switched to the smoke alarm signal. Obvious false alarm- We have 4 other alarms in the house that did not go off. Had to disable it to stop the alarm.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
