Kidde Fire SafetyReviews of kidde.com

My Kidde Long Life Smoke Alarm with a 10 year guarantee failed within 3 years, with the previous one failing within 2 years. This poor review is because there was no possibility to contact them about this - both on the phone or via their website. Their customer services is the worst I've experienced for a well know brand. Avoid their products since they are clearly poor quality. with even poorer customer care. We now know why they are relatively cheap.

Bought 5 2030-DSR smoke alarms from Screwfix, 23/8/24. Changing the batteries every 6 weeks, constant chirping. Sick of them going off at random times for no reason. Wished I read the reviews. Just rubbish

Kidde why does the outside of each package never contain the MM/DD/YY date of production required in registration? Why do you have to break the package to locate the DATE? When you buy a 7-10 year replacement item your warranty is from product date not the purchase date! Your newly purchased product may already be 1-3 years or older or have expired? Common sense: Production date must be listed on outside of EVERY packages? BUYER BEWARE!!! Sent a request for free replacements NO! SEALED NEW PRODUCTS WERE NOT PURCHASED FROM KIDDE AUTHORIZED DEALERS? no where do you read this in the warranty that comes with products

Both our Kidde fire alarms stopped working after 2 years. They are worthless and overpriced. Buyer beware.

It goes off when I turn on humidifier.

We had 7 (seven) Kiddie fire alarms installed by a licensed electrician when we renovated our house. ALL HAVE FAILED. I cannot forget the image of my 4 year old screaming in terror in her room illuminated by the flashing LED. We have replaced ALL of the units with Nest fire alarms without a single incident. Kidde product and customer service is terrible.

Do not buy kidde smoke detectors. We remodeled and purchased 7 alarms. After 2 months they started chirping for no reason. Called kidde support and was told the batteries that come with units are test batteries only. Batteries have to be at least 4 years expiration from date. No help. No apology. No explanation anywhere in packaging that these are test batteries only. For the price they should include the proper batteries. As I said do not purchase kidde smoke detectors.

Purchased 7 Kidde KF20 alarms in April 2024. Shortly after installation one of them woke the household up at 3am with a false alarm. No obvious cause. I then bought a further two, one as a replacement and one as a spare. Since then three of them have produced false alarms for no apparent reason. I'll attempt to get some recompense, as these are still under warranty. But I've now no faith in Kiddie products, so won't be interested in replacements. These replaced ionization type alarms which were well past their renewal date. These never created any false alarms.
