Overview

This First Alert alarm is a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector running on a sealed 10 year battery, giving 2-in-1 protection in a single unit with no battery changes for a decade.

Combining both sensors into one sealed unit trades some flexibility (no separate placement for smoke versus CO sensing) for simpler installation and long-term upkeep, since there is only one alarm to mount and no battery to ever swap. An end-of-life warning is the built-in cue for when the whole unit, not just a battery, needs replacing.

  • Combination smoke and CO detection
  • Sealed 10 year battery
  • Precision Detection sensing
  • End-of-life warning

Who it's for

Works well for a homeowner wanting one alarm that covers both smoke and CO in a bedroom, hallway, or near a furnace or garage, without dealing with wiring or battery maintenance. Someone needing hardwired interconnection across a house should choose a hardwired combination model instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • 2-in-1 smoke and carbon monoxide protection
  • Sealed 10 year battery, no replacements
  • End-of-life warning built in
  • Simple installation with no wiring
Cons
  • Not hardwired, so no interconnection with other alarms
  • Lower rating than some other alarms in this lineup

Performance notes

Precision Detection sensing is built to reduce false alarms triggered by cooking smoke while still responding early to genuine fire conditions, and the electrochemical side of the sensor handles carbon monoxide. The sealed 10 year battery removes the chirp-and-replace cycle entirely, with an end-of-life warning as the eventual signal to swap the whole alarm.
