Customer Reviews For The First Alert Atom Photoelectric Smoke & Fire Alarm P1000
I've owned 4 of the P1000 smoke detectors for 5 years and they have been flawless. Only once were they used due to a spill in the oven that caused a lot of smoke. The P1000 came on one by one before the smoke was even seen! Great product, small and unobtrusive.
I have been very impressed with first alert. My orders were shipped promptly and every one I have talked to has been very friendly and helpful. Thanks
Thy are very easy to install and look good and are the right size.
I had these in my old house. They are small and discreet and easy to install. Very good product!
This alarm is great. It's small and compact but is nice and loud. I have a white drop ceiling and it just disappears. Fits in well with my home. I would recommend to anyone.
The First Alert Atom is the smallest smoke and fire alarm. I am able to mount it on the wall or place it on a high shelf without screwing it to the wall. Since I do not want to climb ladders, the ability the put it on a high shelf is important in the product I purchase.
Its about time the smoke alarm has evolved! For as long as I can remember smoke alarms have been cumbersome and unsightly. This design is actually cool to look at. Its construction is of high quality. It reminds of an Apple product.
The blast is loud, loud, loud, and it is cute and easy to assemble. Wish I was a little taller to get it in the right place. Two easy screws put up high. It did scare my dog quite a bit, but when asleep, Ill appreciate it.
I like that its such a tiny little machine, its hardly noticeable and installation was crazy easy. I look forward to its long presence in my house.
love that they are small and have a better battery life--only concern was I did not recognize the charge on my credit card bill--had to call-I assumed it would have been under first alert. Arrived faster than stated
I can not believe how small this unit really is but the alarm is not small. I hope we never need it but there is no doubt it will alert us if it does go off.
I brought 3 of this amazing and great First Alert Atom Photoelectric smoke & fire Alarm. The are small, smart and very discret, and all that doesnt diminish there efficiency. I love the design tumb Up First Alarm !!!
My husband said it is well made and he is very happy with it and hope it works as well as it looks. Hopefully we never have to find out.
Just as advertised.
I think it is a great size,easy to install will order more
The photo electric detectors = awesome. The shipping time = deplorable. Ordered 01/23, arrived 02/03. Shipped from Illinois, went to Wisconsin, then Pennsylvania, and finally Ohio. Last time I checked, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania arent between Illinois and Ohio. Shipping charges werent any great deal to justify such poor delivery time. Two thumbs down.
Really cool and small. Didnt know it was actually this small and compact.
I think this is a great idea and am giving them to my family members.
Was looking for a small, easy to install alarm and the P1000 was just what I wanted. Highly recommend it.
Easy to install - highly recommended by safety panels - small and compact - a great added safety item for our house!
Other reasons include: It could be a different device or appliance such as a security system, monitor, carbon monoxide alarm, or other device which has a similar low battery or alert signal. Some of the same factors that cause unwanted alarms can cause intermittent alarms: dust and insects in the alarm or power interruptions in hardwired alarms. Improper wiring on AC or AC/DC smoke alarms. AC alarms will chirp every 5 seconds if the interconnect wire is grounded. The orange interconnect wire should NEVER be grounded; it should only be used to interconnect other smoke alarms or compatible devices.
- You may not be holding the test button down long enough. Try holding it down for up to 10 seconds (20 seconds on photoelectric models) .
- Your battery may not be installed properly or snapped all the way in place. Even if the alarm sounded briefly when the battery touched the terminals, you still need to make sure it is snapped securely in place. If the battery is loose, in cannot power the smoke alarm properly. After installing new batteries, be sure to test your smoke detector.
- Your AC power may not be on. AC and AC/DC units will have a power indicator light (red or green) that shines continuously when they are receiving electrical power.
- If you have a 10-Year model, the smoke alarm may not have been properly activated. If the tab broke away before the alarm was activated, you can use a toothpick to move the switch over to test the alarm.
- There may be insufficient battery power, try new batteries.
- Problems with voltage or insufficient electrical power (brown out) may cause a continuous weak sounding alarm. For AC or AC/DC models, temporarily disconnect power at the service panel until the brown out is over. If you do not restore the AC power, your smoke alarms cannot warn you of a fire.
- Incompatible warning device. If an incompatible alarm or auxiliary device is linked into a series of AC or AC/DC smoke alarms it may cause the system inadvertently go off.
- It is possible that your smoke alarm "silence" button was pushed by mistake. The alarm will now "chirp" once a minute for up to 15 minutes before resetting.
- Are you sure it's the smoke alarm? Funny to ask, but other devices have similar low battery chirps or warning tones.
- Your "new" batteries may not be fresh. If batteries are stored, especially in cold areas like refrigerators, they lose their charge more quickly. Always check the freshness date on the package when buying new batteries. Keep plenty of replacement batteries on hand so that you are sure to always be protected by your smoke alarms.
If it's time to replace your alarms, consider the NEW 10-Year Life series and never have to worry about a battery replacement for the life of the alarm.10-Year alarms are available in smoke, carbon monoxide and combination alarms.
