Kidde Hardwired Photoelectric Smoke Detector Alarm, AA Battery Backup, 5-inch

We needed to replace 3 smoke alarms in our home. They are the hardwired type that were installed in our home. We chose Kidde because that's the brand we were replacing. My husband replaced all 3 in under 60 minutes. Very comforting to have them up and working with a battery back up. Easy to install and reliable !!

These were easy to install and work very well. The second night they sensed very minor smoke from cooking that the old ones had been missing. It was very easy to pause the alert, knowing the source of the smoke. I would recommend these to anyone.

I'm disappointed that I received an undesired variant of the item I intended to buy. I was able to find the desired model through Home Depot, taking advantage of a bulk purchase price as well as a 10% military discount. These two things together brought my total down to less that $10.00 difference for the actual intended item. The only detractors were Home Depot's shipping speed, and their inability to simply apply the bulk purchase pricing in store which they advertise on their website.

I replaced some of my Kidde smoke detectors with ones which have the battery installation from the outside and now I can't find them any more. With this detector, the alarm must be removed, the connector pulled out to access the battery door. That is not easy standing on a ladder of a 10 foot ceiling. Very poor design

Delivered to wrong house and i reported it and they said 3rd party delivered...regardless walmart should reimburse me or resend! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.. way to lose customers like myself!!!

Used these to replace earlier Kidde model that started have false alarms after just two years. Bought four and one only lasted two months before it was having false alarms. Dust, insects, humidity, kitchen smoke, etc have all been ruled out it is just faulty

These things are worthless junk. Electrician installed 2 months ago (with new AA battrries); 4 inter-wired; replacing ones that were perfectly good but >10 years old. Ever since then the just has been going off with false alarms, stopping as you arrive to hush them. Clearly there is zero quality control in the production process.

Hello - In February I picked up & installed a 4pack of the Kidde 20SAR, to replace our aged out, hardwired units. One of the units is now giving us random 3-beep notification. From your literature, that implies a dirty or defective unit. I have reset it, cleaned the unit (it was clean and clear of any dust/debris), changed batteries, but it has, twice now, given the alert, in the middle of the night... with a sleeping newborn in the room. Can you please offer us a replacement unit or an additional suggestion to fix it? Thank you

Terrible. Frequent false alarms, always at night. Had trouble with alarms after replacing batteries due to a low battery indicator. Very stressful never knowing when your alarms may go off. For a product that is supposed to bring peace of mind, these have done nothing but cause trauma in my home with two small children.

The i12060 states that this 20SAR is the replacement model. However, the rear connector is different. So this model requires rewiring the connector to the house system. This is not a plug-and-play replacement for the i12060.
