Hyper-sensitivity Jun 16, 2010
This detector is promoted "as microchip minimizes false alarms".
I am sorry to say that I am unable to use this particular detector.
It went off from a crock pot, hot water running, heated microwave being opened , dryer in basement being turned on,
and several times from unknown causes.
I changed the battery, which did not alter the hyper-senstivity. It is brand new out of the package.
The reason I got this detector is to alert me to kitchen situations, so at first it was put on the ceiling at the far end of kitchen furthest away from the stove.
I changed the location to an adjacent room.
There were then still alarm soundings for unknown causes, and the alarm sounded when an electric drill was used in that room.
I am disappointed and frustrated that this detector is too sensitive for use in my home.
I replaced this with an ionization detector of a different brand, which so far has not been set off by unknown
causes or false alarms.

Gave off false alarms Jun 06, 2010
This alarm unlike my other first alert alarms was givng off false alarms. It gave off three long chirps. i looked on the back of the alarm and it said if it did that to replace the alarm, so the alarm went back to amazon. Luckily, it was still within the return period. I have hard-wired ionization alarms that work well and battery operated photelectric alarms that also work well in my house. it may be that this alarm is trying to do too much with both types of sensors.
 Product works well, so far May 17, 2010
I installed three of the First Alert SA302CN Double Sensor Alarms - one on each floor of my home. Installation was very easy and operation has been without a problem, e.g. no false alarms. The remote control test feature is very convenient and allows me to quickly test all three each week without getting a step stool or chair to reach the unit. I have had no false triggers of the test function even though one alarm is within 10 feet of a TV with remote control.
 Too sensitive Apr 27, 2010
We have 12' ceilings, so I thought the remote control feature would be nice... mostly use a stick now. The product is sensitive which is a good thing, but they are becoming annoying. Sometimes one push of the remote sets them off, any cooking they go off.
