The smoke alarm that chirped until you took the battery out. The unit on the ceiling is older than the lease. It chirps at 2 a.m. You pull the battery and tell yourself you will deal with it later. If the house has hardwired smoke, replace like-for-like and keep the backup battery in. This listing is smoke-only — pair a separate CO alarm if you burn gas.

The problem

The unit on the ceiling is older than the lease. It chirps at 2 a.m. You pull the battery and tell yourself you will deal with it later.

Why it made the verdict

9120B is the hardwired ionization alarm with 9-volt backup that replaces the forgotten detector without a smart-home project. Interconnectable if the house is already wired for it.

Our verdict

If the house has hardwired smoke, replace like-for-like and keep the backup battery in. This listing is smoke-only — pair a separate CO alarm if you burn gas.
