Tools and Hardware Reviews of BRK Brands 9120P-48P Hardwired Smoke Alarm with Battery Backup, Single Individual Contractor Pack
Customer Review: Great replacement!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this to replace a broken smoke detector. This matched up perfectly with the others in service in our home and we have had no false alarms since installing. Customer Review: Shame on you BRK!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought my house in 2002 and have 8 4120B's that have caused more sleepless nights than watching the Dow Jones. I have done everything suggested to keep these things from going off in the middle of the night, which is when they like to fail, with no success. After removing all of them several months ago, leaving my family exposed (shame on me), I decided to give them one more try. Yesterday, I reinstalled all 8 units with brand new batteries and....you guessed it...didn't even make it through one night. I and my family are exhausted...AGAIN! BRK - Your ears had to have been burning. Yup....they're all removed again and this time for good. I went on-line to see what others were saying and was about to buy this replacement (9120B) until I read the reviews. NO THANKS!! I will now try to find another brand with the same pin connections so I don't have to re-wire the house. Anyone know if any exist? Unbelievable that so many people can have the same issues with the same units and yet they continue to sell them to unsuspecting consumers. You obviously knew about this issue and the replacement model is no better. I hope my house doesn't burn down before I can find a workable replacement. Shame on you BRK!!
PS: The 1 star rating is only because it was the minimum required to add this review. Too bad they didn't offer a negative number of stars.
Customer Review: The Day the Firemen Came - Twice
Summary: 1 Stars
My husband was in Boston, I'm home with the children. All smoke detectors started going off. Spend 30 minutes looking for nonexistant fire. Can't get the $*%&^^$ things to stop. After 40 minutes of trying to stop the stupid things, I call the fire department - they come and find defective smoke detector in basement. Firemen leave. Twenty minutes later, smoke detectors go off again. Again, can't get the $*%&*#$ things to stop. Again call the fire department - now the one in the upstairs hall is defective.
We now have three or four missing smoke detectors. Husband just got on Amazon to replace smoke detectors. He calls me in here to read all of the negative reviews because he thinks they are funny. Wanna know what I think is funny? Even though he's read everyone else's reviews HE NOW WANTS TO REPLACE THE MISSING SMOKE DETECTORS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE SMOKE DETECTORS AS OPPOSED TO REPLACING ALL OF THEM WITH SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone, please, shoot me now.
Customer Review: Found a fix for chirping problems
Summary: 1 Stars
Most reviewers report random chirping. In my case, I replaced the battery and couldn't get it to stop chirping every minute, until I found this advice elsewhere on the web:
1. Unplug detector from power (or flip circuit breaker)
2. Remove battery
3. Hold down Test button for 20 seconds
4. Replace battery
5. Turn power/breaker back on
This stopped mine from chirping every minute. Give it a try on yours.
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I had an older version of this product that needed to be replaced. The new product was delivered when I expected and had all the parts I needed to install it. Installation was simple and straightforward.
