Overview

Mounting one alarm that covers both smoke and carbon monoxide is what this First Alert combo is for. A photoelectric sensor catches smoldering fires with fewer cooking false alarms, and a sealed battery runs for the alarm's whole life.

No battery changes for a decade and two hazards in one device are the reasons to buy. It meets code for sealed alarms in many areas. Interconnection with other alarms is not mentioned.

Who it's for

Landlords and homeowners replacing old alarms near bedrooms and kitchens will like the no-maintenance battery. Homes needing interlinked or smart alarms should look at connected models.
