Kidde Worry Free Smoke Alarm Review and Giveaway

No more battery changes or late night low battery chirps!

Kidde Worry Free Smoke Alarms offer a variety of benefits to the millions of Americans who rely on continuous battery-powered smoke and fire detection in their homes. The alarms are powered by sealed, long-life lithium batteries for 10 years (the life of the alarm), meaning they are always on. Each of the four alarms includes features designed to address location-specific safety needs such as a light in the hallway for egress and innovative smart sensing technology for kitchens to minimize nuisance alarms caused by cooking.

Long-life Sealed Lithium Battery: Why it’s needed

While smoke alarms are installed in 96 percent of US homes, 20 percent of those alarms are not functioning, mainly due to dead or missing batteries. Moreover, two-thirds of residential fire deaths occur in homes without smoke alarms or in homes with non-functioning smoke alarms.

With a sealed, long-life lithium battery smoke alarm, homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their homes’ smoke alarms are always on – operating 24 hours per day, seven days per week for 10 years – that’s a decade of hassle-free protection. The National Fire Protection Association recommends replacing smoke alarms every 10 years.

I posted earlier about survey results about annoyances of smoke alarms.  It seems like Kidde really has made a worry-free alarm.  If you  have one of the above alarms you are set for ten years.  The battery doesn't need changed at all.  It is good for the whole life of the alarm, which is ten years.  By the way, the survey stated 43 % percent of folks didn't know how often to replace their alarms.  I had no idea either!  Well, with Kidde, you aren't going to hear any chirping to replace the batteries for a long time, and after ten years of owning the alarm and you do hear that annoying chirping, throw the whole alarm out and buy a new one!!!

Kidde would like to give one of my readers a 2 pack of alarms for their home.
