It is recommended that a battery operated smoke detector be on each floor of your home. Finding the right product to protect your family can be difficult with so many reports finding the weaknesses in this life saving device. Smoke alarms that never go off, ones that go off too frequently due to false alarms, can create a challenge in finding a good quality alarm. We have selected alarms that have been tested and proven to provide the protection your family needs. The First Alert SA320CN Double Battery Powered smoke detector provides dual protection against fires. The ionized and photo electric smoke detectors provide an early warning for any potential fires.

However, the current, second generation Nest has a unique Split Spectrum sensor that's said to be more effective than the norm for photoelectric technology. However, we did not spot any rigorous testing to verify that claim, so for now, consider this to be a standard photoelectric unit. Likewise, expert testing of the CO side of things is limited. No one has rigorously tested the CO detector performance of the second generation model. Consumer Reports says that the first generation Nest Protect worked well as a CO detector, though it was more effective in sounding an alarm when it spots high CO concentrations than low. User reviews, once mixed, are now much stronger as the product has been updated and tweaked since release. It currently earns a 4. 6 star rating following nearly 6,000 reviews at Amazon. While there are other smart smoke detectors available, none that we spotted have received the positive feedback that we saw for the Nest Protect. For example, the First Alert OneLink Est. $110 looks to directly compete with the Nest, but both expert and user reviews are underwhelming.
