 Official response from Kidde September 2, 2008
Tom Pheysey
Seeing the negative reviews that mentioned the date stamp as an issue, I emailed Kidde to get their response. I asked if this model was still manufactured, given the older dates found on some bought online. Here is the reply:
"Yes...the PI2000 is still being manufactured...Try to buy the unit at a Home Depot or Lowe's and not online as someone online would buy in bulk and then have them sitting around for longer periods where Home Depot or Lowe's would have updated stock."
Sorry, Amazon. It's a great product, but it may be better NOT to buy this one online.
 Added and convenient protection for your home August 15, 2008

As a do-it-yourselfer I appreciate the ease of which it took to switch out my old detectors. The detectors I received were sent directly to my home within a couple of days and had new date codes. As a firefighter I appreciate the dual sensor feature which provides my family added protection from all types of fires. The hush feature is also an added bonus to prevent the tempatation of disconnecting the detector when dinner gets a little over cooked.
Much better than my old one August 13, 2008

I have two wired smoke detectors in the hallways and battery detectors in the bedrooms. I like the "hush" button and the quick release connector for the power.
Basically, the same comments as I made for the battery-only version:
Even though there are many, many types of smoke detectors available, there really isn't much choice. Literature on fire safety says to get one that has both the ionization feature and the photoelectric feature. You see many that only have one feature or they combine it with a carbon monoxide detector. Get a smoke detector that focuses on its job. Get a separate carbon monoxide detector and locate it down at your level instead of high on a ceiling.
The alarm is nice and loud, which I need. I wish it could wirelessly activate the other alarms when it goes off. You have to remove the smoke detector to change the battery, but that is very easy to do.
Don't forget to mark on your long term calendar to replace it in 8-10 years. The ionization feature may not work after that.
Great Detector, Impossible to Find in Stores July 21, 2008
E. McDermott (Virginia)
Fantastic product, and it was absolutely impossible to find this model in stores. I really like the dual protection against flash fires and smoldering fires, and I especially like the interconnection feature--I have interconnections across three floors. Units that were shipped were brand-new manufacture dates, less than a few months old. Very pleased both with the detectors and the folks that shipped them to me.
Random False Alarms July 17, 2008
R. M. Mayhew (St. Louis, MO USA)
Purchased in April of 2007 and the six units worked fine until a few months ago. Now they randomly go off at various times for no apparent reason. In checking on Amazon I see where other Kidde units have had this problem and some are rated very poorly for that reason.
