I recently replaced the 14-year old smoke alarms in my home with these 9120B units (identified as the suitable form-fit-function replacements for the contractor grade units that were installed when my home was built). Good price for a 6-pack. Installation was a breeze since the power leads from the old units worked without modification for the new units. Note: old units had labels indicating a 10-year service life, so if your home is older than 10-years you should consider replacing your residential smoke alarms.
Did a fair amount of research on these because our "old" ones did the oft-reported chirps and middle of the night full on alarm for nothing. My kids are now (unfortunately) well trained to sleep through the alarms... In any event, I finally gave in and bought these. No chirps so far or middle of the night false alarms yet.

In my research I saw that there was ultimately no difference between the BRK brand we had and the First Alert as FA had bought the other company. Also reported as an issue by others were the dates on the units. These new ones were ok - not super recent but around a year old, so hopefully will last a while. (Of note, I remarked taking them down that the old ones were dated right at the time they were installed - so perhaps professional contractors have access to the latest ones?). Per advice online of others I did purchase from Amazon directly.

Even though the newer models required a new plate to be installed, it was 2 screws off and two screws on and done - so really no big deal. The same electrical plug-ins still worked.

I will post back if we have problems, but I also saw just after these went up that they now have these brand new flatter ones. I would have looked into those.
Needed 6 to replace all the 10-year old Smoke Detectors in my townhome. Contractor pack was just right price. The units were compatible with 120V connector already in place. All that was needed was replace the mount, which was simple. A philips screwdriver and a ladder, and each one took less than 5 minutes to remove and replace.
I was repacing a BRK alarm system that was constantly going off on false alarms, so when this "first alert" came in a BRK box I was annoyed. However it appears to be ok so far after a month. Only time will tell for sure.
I orderd six of the smoke alarms. The items that arrived had no battery backup. I contacted the seller and they apologized and said they did not have any of the item they advertised. They paid for return shipping and issued a full refund. I purchased the correct items elsewhere and they are a nightmare. As in most other reviews of the same item they let out 1 long beep at all hours of the day and night for no reason. This causes doubt in the proper workings of the product and therefore useless.
These things are horrible! The units we have are under 4 years old (installed when the house was built) and they go off in the middle of the night for no reason... the worst part is that if 1 unit goes off, the rest sense it and they ALL GO OFF! The result is running around the house at 2am ripping every one of them out of the ceiling. After last night... 3rd strike and they are out! I will be replacing every single one of these things with another brand!
I don't have any problem with the alarms yet. I am hoping it will last, the same as the older type alarm I had
Not much to say about the item. It's exactly what it says it is. I'm not the handyman that some are, but I found this to be easy to install and hook up. It seems to be working great and have nothing bad to say about the item.
Una buena desicion al hacer la compra de los sensores alarmas de humo 9120B6CP FIRST ALERT/BRK, entregaron lo que solicite en el tiempo pactado, Gracias por el servicio Tanks for you service.First Alert 9120B6CP 120-Volt Wire-In With Battery Backup Smoke Alarm, 6-Pack
This product came with six smoke detectors. They had to be wired in and had a battery backup included. They replaced six twelve year old similar detectors. All six arrived in excellent condition, were easy to install and work fine. I hope they never have to be tested by an actual fire!
