Protect your Family from Home Fires
Every year, 70 percent of all home fire deaths occur in homes with no alarms or no working alarms, while nearly one quarter of smoke alarms in reported fires are not working. Installing alarms like the i9070 is an affordable, easy way to help protect your family from the devastating results of a fire. Alarms give you more time to make an escape, especially if you're asleep when the fire starts. Ideally, they should be installed on every level of your home and outside all bedrooms.The i9070 is specially designed to help warn families of the dangers of smoke and fire hazards while providing a range of user-friendly features that make it easy to keep a maintained smoke alarm with working battery. Ionization Sensor Technology
For reliable performance and early detection, the i9070 features an ionization sensor. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Kidde strongly recommends that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help insure maximum detection of the various types of fires that can occur within the home. Simple and Convenient Battery Changes with Front-Load Door
The i9070 has an easy-to-operate, front-load battery door that allows you to change the battery without having to remove the smoke alarm from the mounting bracket. This unique design will also not close if the battery is installed incorrectly, so you know with each and every change that the batteries are where they should be. For added convenience, a locking feature located on the back of the alarm lets you lock the battery door--a great option if theft or tampering is a concern. Finally, a hush feature lets you silence nuisance alarms--ideal for alarms installed in the kitchen. Compliancy and Warranty Information
Each Kidde i9070 alarm is UL listed and is backed by a 10-year limited warranty. About Kidde: A UTC Fire and Security Brand

 Only 1 worked September 1, 2010
cappakis (Washington DC area, USA)
I had the exact same experience as another reviewer - only 50% worked. Feature-wise, they seemed great. I really liked the front-load battery.
I got one fully installed, and that was a breeze. The second one, I mounted the plate, but when I closed the battery door, it intermittently beeped. I replaced the battery it came with using one of my own batteries since it sounded like a low-battery alert. It continued intermittently beeping for a few minutes, and then went into full alarm.
I did buy these through the Amazon warehouse, and the package had clearly been opened previously. They also came without screws, annoying but I have lots of screws. I do need 2 smoke alarms that work, so back they go. Amazon was great about the return, and they're sitting out waiting for my mail carrier to pick them up. I'm hesitant to get them again, even not through the warehouse.
 50 % were defective August 15, 2010

I bought 4 of these products. 1 didn't work at all and another would not stop beeping every minute. I change batteries an it didn't work. It is a shame that a national brand like Kidde would sell such an inferior product.
 Front load is the outstanding feature June 22, 2010

smoke detectors:
ionization type are low current drain, photoelectric are high drain. This is why most (but not all) photoelectric are 120 volt AC instead of battery. ionization detectors last longer than photoelectric between battery changes.
so called 10 year detectors or regular detectors with so called 10 year batteries will not go 10 years before replacing is necessary. Longer, but not 10 years, just read some of the reviews on Amazon about this!
interconnected detectors (wired or wireless) all sound together if just one is triggered, thus you can hear *any* alarm from farther off, this is a great safety feature.
front load: This is a safety feature especially with high ceiling mounting when perched on a ladder because there is much less manipulation required to change the darn batteries.
---
My choice of desired features is to get a front load instead of the other considerations. Your preferences are likely different! :)
great buy May 27, 2010

I had the kidde smoke detectors that you had to take off the ceiling to replace the batteries...they are a hassle! get these and you won't be sorry! I'm so glad i got them!
 Seems to work fine October 27, 2009

My older fire alarm was getting on in years, and since these things needs to be changed every 8 to 10 years, I decided to change them all.
These are battery operated, and so if you have a wired installation this should not be used in such situations.
Installation was quick - my only wish is that there are adjustable width screw holes to hang this up with, so one could use preexisting screws. Its not hard - just that it takes a 2 more minutes to put in another screw.
I tested it after installation by holding a match about 2 feet under it, and it sounded the alarm in about half a minute. Its been in operation about 3 weeks now, and so far there have been no false alarms.
