Review 1 for First Alert Photoelectric Smoke and Fire Detector, SA720CN
Photoelectric versus regular smoke detector.

After watching a program on TV concerning particular types of detectors, they convinced me that the photoelelectric is the way to go. They have an approximate early response time of 17 seconds. I also purchased lithuim batteries (10 year), and will check them during the beginning & ending of daylight savings time.

I love these detectors that have the lights. I have one in my basement and one in my upstairs hall at the top of the stairs outside of our bedrooms. It's a wonderful feature.

First Alert Smoke and Fire Detector

a friend recommended we get photoelectric smoke detectors (our home has the Ion type of detectors). The First Alert is a great product.
A great feature is a bright light the comes on when the alarm sounds an alert.
That would make it much easier to see in the middle of the night if we ever have a fire.

One of the better First Alert smoke detectors (not false alarms from just cooking). VERY good price and the Ship to Store feature worked well and quickly. Very pleased with the purchase and the experience.

Well, to date we haven't had any fires or smoke to detect, so I guess it's working.

Good product, light a little dim

Don't expect daylight from this unit's little lamp. It will probably help in a smoky home fire, but I wouldn't count on it. As with most First Alert products, the overall product is fine, and I trust it will work to wake us up if, God forbid, we ever need it to.
