If you have another one, like us, they are connected so you only need to switch off the lower one.

Got rid of one in the middle of a 10ft ceiling, put two on walls within reach standing on a chair. Also got one with an override in the kitchen. Less annoyance all around.

Right? You’ll probably die of a broken neck instead of a fire!

Smoke goes up

👍 And.....smoke RISES! Why not catch it at the ground level?

It’s everywhere. I have one in my house that is near the peak of the living room ceiling- a little over 16ft.

😁 😂 😅 🤣

Pro tip: I file off the plastic latches, so you can slide the alarm off its base without first inserting a screwdriver in a tiny slot. It makes those 3AM battery changes much easier.

They should be fired.

FFS They put it where the smoke goes. 🤦‍♀️

We had one 10 ft above a staircase, and the only way to reach it was to put a ladder on the stairs. So you won't fry in a fire, but you're 200x more likely to break -- all your parts.

I got one with a snooze button.

😂

It’s alarming indeed.

I was renting a townhouse with one on a vaulted ceiling. I had to ask a neighbor who worked second shift if I could borrow a ladder. It started going off after 11 pm, and he got home a bit after that.

They always get low battery at stupid times.

Sadistic.

And no one can make a battery that does not die in the middle of the night so something is chirping loudly but you can’t tell if it’s upstairs or downstairs or which device!
