Product Reviews
I put these in all of my house's bedrooms. We keep the doors closed at night and I realized that was a hazard if a fire starting inside one of the rooms.
Easy install & seems to be working correctly.
I couldn't find a combination smoke and flame alarm at the hardware stores near me, so this bedroom specific alarm was a perfect find. Previously we only had an alarm in the hallway, so now having alarms in all three bedrooms has given me major peace of mind, in case a fire originated in the bedroom and the door was closed. They were easy to install as well.
Product delivered within 3 days. Easy installation with no complications. Product has had no false alarms so far.
We had a minor scare when a defective CFL bulb in our bedroom failed and began to smoke, setting off our bedroom smoke alarm. We had not yet installed smoke alarms in our other bedrooms, plus our alarm was nearing its end of life, so I took this opportunity to research smoke alarms and see what was available. It turns out that UL is updating their smoke alarm standards UL217 to an 8th edition. This will require better sensing technology to reduce nuisance alarms as well as to better detect polyurethane foam fires. Only a few alarms sold today meet this standard, this one from USI being one of them. Having a 10 year battery in it is also a big plus, doing away with yearly battery changes. These were easy to install I made sure to keep at least three feet away from the ceiling fan blades. Now our bedrooms are protected for the next 10 years.
Easy installation, simple setup and no false alarms. Consumer reports #1
Received 10 detectors, all were easy to install and worked well under test. Hopefully, we don't have to find out how they work with a home fire.
These detectors/alarms were easy to install and appear to be working well. No issues.
Good job!
Fast delivery and easy to install. I replaced my 14 year old hard wired alarms and was able to use the same mounting bracket. I will let you know in 1-0 years if the batteries last that long---
Process for ordering was very smooth. I had a question about the alarms and response on phone was excellent. I would definitely order from Universal again.
Ordered and received 3 Bedroom Smoke/Fire Alarms AMIB3051SC in a timely manner. Product is well made and very easy to install. Based on initial impression, I would expect each alarm to function properly for the next 10 years. I am a happy customer!
Just installed three of these, and everything went fine.Well designed for easy installation. Not having to worry about replacing batteries for the life of the unit is a great feature.
The unit was very easy to install.
The title says it all. Battery never needs changing for the life of the detector. Since battery powered works even in a power failure.
I own and manage rental housing units. This is my first time purchasing these units, it won't be my heart. The products are highly rated and economical. The delivery went very well too. Very satisfied.
This were easy to install and fit the need we had of battery powered detectors in our bedrooms.
Like the various detector options. Thank you
Product FAQs
Early detection of smoke, carbon monoxide, and natural gas is key to saving lives. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends installing a smoke alarm on every level of your home, including finished attics and basements. You are also encouraged to install a smoke detector inside every bedroom and at the top of certain stairways.
You never know what kind of hazard will strike your home, or when. That's why we recommend technology that can detect carbon monoxide (CO) and natural gas as well as smoke and fire. You'll get the most protection from devices that can quickly and accurately detect and respond to a range of threats.
A smoke alarm that goes off when there's no emergency is annoying. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), such "nuisance alarms" are the leading reason why homeowners intentionally disable their smoke detectors. Yet doing so can be deadly. A survey conducted by the NFPA found that smoke alarms sounded in only half of the home fires reported to U.S. fire departments, and almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.
8th generation smoke alarms, featuring advanced multi-criteria smoke and fire sensors, represent a significant leap in fire protection technology. Complying with UL 217 8th Edition standards, USI 8th edition alarms incorporate the latest innovations to enhance fire detection. USI Sensing Plus technology, a hallmark of 8th generation detectors, offers superior protection against both fast flaming and slow smoldering fires while significantly reducing nuisance alarms.
Yes, all USI Sensing Plus Detectors meet new UL 217 8th Edition requirements for smoke alarms
