Tip: More expensive does not mean better for smoke alarms, as long as you buy them from a reliable company. They all work pretty much the same, so it really doesn't matter. The main advantages of spending more money are Photoelectric sensors(The only good ones), wireless interconnectivity if you need it, otherwise avoid wireless since it doesn't always work, and combo smoke/co, voice alerts, etc. DON'T buy smoke alarms with strobes unless you need them. Unless you cannot hear the alarm, they make it unsafe to walk down the stairs. Happened to my grandmother when I was a kid. If you need it because you cannot hear the alarm, then you must get it. So I recommend Photoelectric, Hardwired-Interconnected, Combo Smoke/CO alarms, with REGULAR battery backup. KN-COPE-IC is probably the most common of this type.
@@Vootie That could be an isolated case. You could try smoke alarms from Wisualarm. They have 10 years battery and also 5 years warranty, I think it is worthwhile

How often should I check my smoke alarm?
Missed this by 2 days. Just bought a multipack
Wise idea! Is multipack also from X-Sense?
@elosan665 not a brand. They sell them as kits since the units Talk to each other
How much?
10 year batteries are a scam. They last under 4 years.
How do you know?
@@economistfromhell4877 cause I bought 6, 4 years ago and they all dead now.
Fake
I have two lithium sealed battery smoke alarms
