Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert SA302CN Double Sensor Battery-Powered Smoke and Fire Alarm
Customer Review: Handy
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was very easy to install following the instructions. I installed 4 units on the ceiling and they are unobtrusive.Customer Review: Happy So Far
Summary: 5 Stars
In the absence of a disaster, writing a review for something that's intended to work in a disaster can only be limited. I can say, however, that this smoke and fire alarm installed easily and seems to work fine, if the test button is any indication. I like, in particular, that changing the battery is very simple; just pop open the little door with the unit in place. And no usual battery connector to deal with. You just slide the battery in and close the door. It connects automatically; very nice feature. Also, a simple twist of the unit frees it from its holder, if you ever need to take it down, like when you're painting the ceiling or something. Goes back up just as easily. The alarm is loud, as you'd expect, and testing it is easy using the button feature. Your tv remote can initiate a test, too, instead of using the unit's test button, and it can stop the alarm from ringing, also. Note that the steam from a shower will set the alarm off. I've seen this before with other smoke/fire alarms, too. This happened to me because I had the bathroom door open while taking a shower, and the alarm is right outside the door. Keeping the door closed solves the problem. I guess the final test of this unit is a test I hope I never take: a fire in my house. But with this alarm, I feel reasonably sure it will do its job in that event.Customer Review: Have not received the product!

Customer Review: Hyper-sensitivity
Summary: 1 Stars
This detector is promoted "as microchip minimizes false alarms".
I am sorry to say that I am unable to use this particular detector.
It went off from a crock pot, hot water running, heated microwave being opened , dryer in basement being turned on,
and several times from unknown causes.
I changed the battery, which did not alter the hyper-senstivity. It is brand new out of the package.
The reason I got this detector is to alert me to kitchen situations, so at first it was put on the ceiling at the far end of kitchen furthest away from the stove.
I changed the location to an adjacent room.
There were then still alarm soundings for unknown causes, and the alarm sounded when an electric drill was used in that room.
I am disappointed and frustrated that this detector is too sensitive for use in my home.
I replaced this with an ionization detector of a different brand, which so far has not been set off by unknown
causes or false alarms.
Customer Review: I feel safer now
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading reviews on smoke alarms I came across this one and was impressed with how thorough the other reviews were so I went ahead and ordered one.
When I received it and went over the instructions and mounted it I just HAD to try the TV remote control on this alarm. It works.
I'm hard of hearing and it's plenty loud enough.
Well worth the money.
