Good service and helpful support via the phone. The alarm wasn't shipped with the required base plate and I had to speak to your customer help line staff to get one delivered. They were very helpful and quickly got a base plate posted to me, but nonetheless it was somewhat annoying that this omission happened.

Two minute replacement on old base I had six smoke alarm detectors wired through the house. They had reached their replacement date. I bought these new tops which plugged onto the old bases. What is more, I can replace that rechargeable batteries on these, so I won't have to go through the same process again.
