BedroomMid-range
Safety level: Life-safety alarm: install, test and replace as the maker directs. Follow the manufacturer's placement instructions and your local fire code, test it monthly, and replace it by its end-of-life date.
Warning: Life-safety device: an alarm only helps if it works and you can hear it. Install it where the manufacturer and your local fire code say, check it carries a recognized certification mark (such as CSA, ULC or ETL in Canada, or UL in the US), test it monthly, and replace it when it reaches its end-of-life date. Don't climb a ladder or chair to test it if your balance isn't reliable.

Who it helps
This may help people who find bending down or stretching up hard, for example after hip or back surgery; and people who want everyday tasks to take less effort.
Check before buying
- One unit outside the bedrooms covers smoke and CO, which means fewer alarms to test and no battery changes. CO and smoke alarms sound different, so make sure everyone in the home knows both sounds. It is a Canadian model; check that it suits your local fire code.
- Check the certification mark, power source, end-of-life date and placement instructions on the manufacturer's page, and what your local fire code requires.
- Check return policies in case it doesn't suit you.
Limitations
- This is life-safety equipment: it must be placed, tested and replaced as the manufacturer directs. Your local fire department can advise on where alarms are required.
- ReachWell has not tested this item. Information here is general, based on the product type and the manufacturer's description.
