Perfect replacement for two out of date smoke alarms

Works well, keeps us safe Part of a pair. We replaced an old set of these with new. The old and the new are the same size so easy to fit in which is a benefit. The old system worked well with few false alarms and the only alarms were when you would expect it. Luckily we've had no fires so it hasn't been tested in anger, but when the plumber was soldering that set it off so seems to work!
