Product Description
Product Description
Promote greater household safety with the First Alert 9120BFF Hardwired Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup. This 120 volt AC smoke detector uses an ionization smoke sensor to reliably detect smoke from hot, fast flaming fires and alerts you with a loud 85 decibel alarm. Designed to be wired directly into your home's electrical system, this hardwired smoke detector features a backup battery that helps keep the alarm functioning even in the event of a power outage. The gasket less mount helps ensure a perfect alignment for easy installation, while tamper resistant locking pins keep the alarm secure. And thanks to the convenient test/silence button, you can easily check whether the alarm is functioning properly and mute false alarms. This smoke alarm can integrate with up to 12 other First Alert or BRK hardwired alarms and features a latching indicator that identifies which unit triggered the alarm.

Only one universal complain for all the companies who make smoke detectors, it would be nice if all the power couplers were the same so you didn’t have to rewire them if you buy a different brand!
Update 6-8-21: After a month of installation, the chirping and irritating middle of the night noise were gone! Check functionality once a month and all the units work well as described. I'm upgrading my review from two to four stars.
If you go to the store you will find these labeled "BRK" with the words "First Alert" in smaller letters underneath and they come in a yellow and black box. It is unfortunate. Yellow and black packaging reminds me of generic food items back in the 70's and these items had a reputation for being below par. If I did not know what I was looking for I would have passed over these units in favor of something else, and I also noticed that BRK and First Alert puts their more expensive models in fancy and beautiful packaging. Thus, I fear that this company intentionally brands this "entry level" smoke detector in yellow and black to dissuade people from buying it and moving up to the more expensive models.
I bought the contractor pack of this item as well as three single units to replace the nine smoke detectors in my house. All of these come with a free battery. I knew I would have to take down the old detectors, take down the mounts, and disconnect the old wiring in order that I be able to put in the new mounts and the new wiring for this smoke detector. It is a job that takes about 10 minutes at the most to completely swap out each of the units. Remember to shut off the circuit breaker!
The alarm itself looks great. I like the design a lot better than the flat plastic orb. Once the new wiring harness is connected and the mount is secured to the ceiling, the new detectors snap easily into place for the wiring and you twist it onto the mount. The battery compartment is on the side and although the door for the battery looks cheap, all held up well and none broke. The alarm itself is easy to test, push the big button, and the alarm is loud enough to get anyone's attention. So far, cross our fingers, there have been no errant cheeps and no false alarms. Now to give Kiddie credit our old alarms were nearing the end of their expected lifespan so the new ones would have probably worked as well. I admit it, I went for the name brand!
