1 stars following more than 320 reviews. Wirecutter does not test the smoke alarm, and hence its evaluation isn't relied on in making our selection. That said, based on their own research, Doug Mahoney calls the SA511CN2 3ST the best basic smoke alarm. The feedback on the SA511B is even better, albeit more limited: 4. 7 stars at Amazon, 4. 6 stars at Home Depot, but that's only based on around 20 reviews across the two sites. The First Alert SA521CN 3ST Est. $40 is a hardwired version of the battery operated First Alert SA511CN2 3ST/SA511B interconnectable smoke detector. The two First Alert smoke detectors can be mixed and matched to create a smoke detector network that covers your premises. If you have a pre existing interconnected hard wired smoke detector network, a First Alert SA521CN 3ST sometimes sold as simply the First Alert SA521CN can be substituted for one of the existing units to act as a bridge so that when one smoke detector is activated, all smoke detectors on both networks will sound an alarm. This can be an effective way to integrate new, interconnected photoelectric smoke detectors with an existing hard wired interconnected ionization smoke detector network for protection against all types of fires.

Incorporated in many of the newer models are carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide sensors that trigger an alarm when there is a high level of these gases present in the air. As stand alone detectors, they may be useful as alarms against dangerous gases, but may not be able to detect smoke out of ordinary fires early enough. You’ll see that these wouldn’t be good fire prevention devices if that’s what you were looking for. It is recommended that the individual homeowner find out what possible hazards could emanate from various areas of the house before deciding on what kind of smoke detector to install. And when you think about the price, most times it becomes a trivial factor especially if you have to consider that you’re actually buying protection and peace of mind. Having mentioned price, you might as well consider testing one of these so called smart smoke detectors. Some of these can be turned off by waving your arm at it in case it is accidentally set off. These smart detectors also give out a preliminary warning tone that tells you there’s smoke somewhere in the house, and gives you a chance to act. Other than that, smart detectors are also connected in a wireless network, and are able to talk to each other. So if a fire occurs in the basement and you’re in the bedroom, these smart little things will still sound the alarm wherever you are in the house. With a price tag of $149, the Halo Smart Protect is undeniably one of the most pricey options on the market.
