Kidde Contractor Hardwire Ionization Smoke Alarms with Front Battery Door, 6-Pack I12060

always buy quality for safety. fast delivery.

I had some previous Kidde smoke detectors, but they were easily 20 years+ old. I also noticed during a recent planned power outage a couple months ago, a couple were responding differently than they had during any previous power outage over the years. I decided it was time to update them. These are very nice and I like the Ionization addition which my originals did not have. These also had a battery backup for any power outage situations, where my originals did not. The easy open battery door is on the outside. I makes it nice and no need to take down the alarm for replacing batteries. They even come with dust covers in the event these are being installed with new construction or a remodel. The user guide is very through and covers just about everything. Really happy with this update.

I just replaced two of them just a couple of years ago and they beep without a cause! I've replaced the batteries and still the same one beeping!! I had to disconnect the both of them to prevent the beeping noise.

We have 6 of these, manufacture date 2019. Last year Kidde replaced one unit under warranty because of spurious alarms in the middle of the night. Last night we had another false alarm, again int the middle of the night, but this time we couldn't identify the initiating unit because NONE of the units showed the red LED.

I bought this smoke alarm 3/27/23 . Here it is 10/24/25 only 3 years and it started chirping, changed the battery hit the reset button. It was fine for a couple hours, then chirped again. Hit the reset button and kept chirping every once in a while so had to go buy a new one. I thought these were supposed to last 8 to 10 years. that's why we pay the money that we pay for the good ones or at least we thought it was good.

Replaced 8 units that worked for over 10 years. These 8 Kidde i2060A units won't last 4 months. Keep going off, acting like the battery is dead (this is a hard wired with Battery back up model). Getting tired to trying new 9v batteries (9v batteries are not cheap). Have gone through all the battery brands the manufacturer says to use, no good. When you take the batteries out, they test brand new on a multimeter. Only option is to replace the units. Pure junk.

Our detector failed via intermittent chirping after less than a year and replacing the still-good battery did not help. This is compounded by lack of info on the Kidde website on whether this detector is OK to dispose of in regular trash or if it must be taken to a hazardous waste facility. Avoid ionizing detectors like this one!

Same issue as many others...... repeated chirping from hardwired wall section.....tried several new batteries, cannot silence the chirping. Want to go back to unwired battery units 'old school' which NEVER failed.

They suck. Small fonts while leaving large empty areas. Will beep after battery replacement. No manual on the website (they push 'smart' models).

My builder installed Kidde 12060A smoke detectors in 2014. I replaced all 7 units in 2023. Now one of those 3023 units has failed. I've replaced the 9 v battery with a know good battery twice in the last day and a half. Chirping started up again 8 hours later after both recent battery replacements. This model is no longer available.
