Efficient and reliable.

Great value smoke alarm. I have had one of these for 2.5 years it developed a fault. I contacted BRK who gave some advice which did not rectify the issue. BRK no hesitation posted out a free replacement which I was not expecting due to the time scale. I purchased another in the meantime which I will keep for another property. For the money very good alarm.Read full review

Not a good replacement for model BRK 86Race

I bought this to replace my old BRK 86 race . I’ll never understand why these designers take a really good design and replace it with their idea , which is not as good , just for the sake of it . There is no improvement only more work for the installer trying to make it fit where the old one was . The main problem is the plug , which was small on the original one and fitted inside the extension box . On the new one it’s larger and you have to make the hole in the ceiling bigger to accommodate the plug as there is no extension box supplied . This would normally be a simple job if you were just dealing with a plasterboard ceiling , but what about if the builders had conveniently placed a wooden joist right where you need the hole to be ? Not a simple replacement job so , therefore , I wouldn’t recommend it.

Good value and light weight.

It was just what I needed as my old fire alarms were 10 years old and the same brand as i all already had. So I didnt have to do any rewiring just replace the top.

Fire alarm

Already had the same model in for over 5 years without any problems. Finally failed so bought the same model with the bonus of alarm system fitted straight onto old ceiling fitting. Deep joy. Would recomend to anyone. Read full review

Excellent product

Arrived on time and was easy to fit. I was replacing an earlier version of this model which had stopped working after 6 years.

Good value product.

This was a direct replacement for an old one past its use by date. Fitted in a minutes.
The unit has 10 years life so I am very pleased.
The only downside on these units is that to replace the battery you need to take it down and then use a screwdriver to open the battery compartment. But you will only need to that once or twice in its life, so not a major issue,Read full review

Good Product

Fitted into existing but older smoke alarm ceiling fitting (this is the modern version).
Worked as described, sealed battery supplied, all good and as described.

Smoke alarm replacement

This is exactly what I wanted, to replace my original one that decided to not work after several years.
