About this item:
The Kidde i4618 is an AC/DC powered, ionization smoke alarm that operates on a 120V power source with 9V battery backup. This alarm uses ionization sensing technology. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible particles (associated with smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. The front-loading battery door allows user to change the battery without removing the alarm from the mounting bracket making battery replacement easy and convenient. This smoke alarm is available in a 6-piece cut case with tray for easy display as well as a 6-piece bulk pack for contractors and property owners. This unit is a UL Listed product with a 5-year limited warranty. Kidde strongly recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help insure maximum detection of the various types of fire that can occur within the home.

Easy to install and works great for wife’s cooking
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to install
Love that you can change the battery without having to remove the unit from the ceiling, it was easy to install just needed the simple adapter, and I have no idea how well it works, and hoping I never have to hear it during a true fire, but the green lights on and everything appears to be just fine. So I am a happy customer!

It is a nice replacement.
4.0 out of 5 stars Detector review (also mixing ionizing and photocell, and converting from old Firex units)
I only installed these a few days ago and so can't comment on the lifespan yet - this review will hopefully be of use to anyone who (like me) is replacing old Firex wired units.My house was originally fitted with Firex 120-1182 hardwired ionizing smoke detectors with battery backup, These units have reached the end of their life - and anyway, I was tired of the frequent false alarms when we were cooking. I decided to replace the bedroom units with updated ionizing detectors and the ones in the hallways and kitchen with photocell units. I contacted Kidde user support to confirm this was recommended and the different units could be mixed on the same wiring.For the photocell units I chose the Kidde PE120 Hardwire with Battery Backup Photoelectric Sensor Smoke Alarm. I can confirm the units DO have a 'push to hush' button and the button works - it is the small transparent button on the front face of the unit close to the edge, and clearly visible in the pictures. The battery door is at the back of the unit, making replacement annoying. A further small annoyance is that the base plate does not come with screw holes punched out, you have to push out the blanks with a screwdriver. This can be annoying when you are up a ladder, I recommend pushing out all six blanks (three pairs) before installation.For the ionizing units I chose the Kidde i4618 Firex Hardwire Ionization Smoke Detector, recommended by Kidde as the replacement for the Firex units I had. These are practically identical to the Firex units, but puzzlingly the base plates of the Firex units will not accept the Kidde detectors - a minor annoyance, replacing the base plate can be done in a minute.The Kidde wiring connector is different to the old Firex one. You can use the KA-F adaptors (sold separately) which attach to the back of both of the units mentioned above and seem secure to me (Kidde user support recommends replacing the wiring because they say the fit can be loose - I did not find this to be the case) or you can replace the wiring using the new Kidde connectors supplied. In the end I chose to replace the wiring because the KA-F adaptors are bulky and in my setup there wasn't enough space behind the detector. I am no electrician and I was hooking up each detector in 2 minutes, it was a really easy wiring job. Obviously switch off the power at your fuse panel first.I went into detail here because I was puzzled about what to do and only found partial answers on the web. Hopefully this will help others in my position.
5.0 out of 5 stars safety first
all three of my 20 year old smoke alarms didn't sound when I tested them. I was going to order 3 but I hit the one click button by mistake. 2 more are on the way. Installed this one immediately and it's working.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Replacement Smoke Detector
Excellent hardwire replacement smoke detector. Easy fit and installation. The included 9 volt battery is an added bonus...
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Installation and reliable operation
The Bolo Locker delivery and the installation went very smoothly.The operation has, so far, been reliable and flawless.
1.0 out of 5 stars Constant false alarms, and low battery alerts on fresh batteries
I don't know how these are reviewed so high here, on Kidde's own website they have 1.6 stars with many people complaining of the same thing I am. I Bought these to replace some aging smoke detectors, and since then they've been giving me constant problems to the point while still relatively brand new they all went in the trash. They will randomly go off for no reason, and finding the one that alerted is impossible since the light codes don't work as the should. In the meantime you are running from alarm to alarm to silence them and figure out which one alarmed, and it's impossible, and they won't shut up. The silence button does nothing. Turning off the breaker doesn't work since the batteries keep them all going, so you have to go to every single one to pull the batteries out. On top of that two of them keep giving the 30 second alerts to signal a low battery, even with fresh batteries installed that I verified with a voltmeter. Somehow all of these problems always pop up in the middle of the night. These were an expensive mistake both in terms of money and headache.
