Easy to install and all seem to be working properly. Batteries are in an easy slide out tray. Test the units every week (or month for some of us) by pressing the test button with a long pole.



Cons

According to the owner's manual, 3 chirps every five minutes means a malfunction. No one knows this as first alert doesn't say anything in owners manual.
