Please Note: XS01 is a basic standalone unit; it does not support wireless interconnection, does not have Wi-Fi, and cannot be used with a base station; for interconnection, search for XS01-WR. For Wi-Fi functionality, look for XS01-WX or XS01-MR
10-Year Battery: Forget about battery changes as this alarm is equipped with a built-in lithium battery that lasts for 10 years
Accurate with Fewer False Alarms: Reliably keeps you and your loved ones protected from smoke and fire; quickly detects smoke from smoldering fires thanks to advanced photoelectric sensors; low false alarm rate with air sampled 3 times every 10 seconds
Fire-Retardant Construction: ABS plastic means the alarm is fire-retardant and resistant to high temperatures; ensures the alarm works even in the most dangerous of circumstances
Fits Right In: Mini size alarm measuring just 3.1 × 1.9 in (78 × 48 mm) and with hidden mounting bracket; low-profile design makes it an unobtrusive addition to any home décor
Sensitive & Accurate: Built with an advanced photoelectric sensor and intelligent ST chipset, the alarm can quickly and accurately detect dangerous smoke levels from smoldering fires, and provide the earliest possible warning of fires; the dust-proof isolating plate inside the alarm ensures the detection sensitivity

Title: Wonderful product and fantastic customer service
Review: I purchased a six pack of the XS01-WR interconnected smoke detectors in May of 2021. Installation was easy and they all work beautifully together as they should. They also look very stylish due to their small size and smart design. All was well until just the other night, early July 2024, when everyone was awaken with all six detectors sounding their alarms. Thankfully there was no fire and I quickly turned them off with the RC01 Remote Control I purchased separately. We went back to bed and 30 minutes later we were awaken again with the sound of the smoke detectors. Luckily with the use of the remote when you silence the alarms they all go silent except the unit that first detected the problem. One has to press the remote a second time to silence that last alarm. The alarms are designed that way to help one pinpoint the exact source of the problem. Come to find out the unit that first detected the potential problem became defective because the alarm kept sounding.The next day I emailed [email protected] with a warranty claim. Warranty was 5 years but because I registered the product I got an additional 2 years for a total of 7 years. Considering smoke detectors should be replaced after 10 years of use that's a mighty good warranty. I included a small video showing them the problem with the unit as well as my order number which was easy to obtain from the invoice located in my past Amazon purchases. I received a response that same day indicating they would replace it and there would be no need to return the defective unit. I received another email couple hours later saying the replacement was shipped and I would receive it the next day. Well I did receive it the next day and now all six unit are working again as they should. You read so much about how some companies are not only difficult to contact with a warranty problem but are also non-responsive. In my case I can confidently say that is not the case with X-Sense. I like their product and I really appreciate how they back up their product with quick action. Thank you X-Sense!

Title: Easy to set up, and work well
Review: My brother is a fire fighter, and I first showed him a different model with a 10 year battery. He told me to make sure that I could remove the battery to shut if off if I needed to. He's been to sites where people smash their smoke detectors to shut them up. Ha ha!These had removable batteries, and replacements are cheaper than 12 volt batteries, so I bought them instead.The smoke detectors automatically connect to each other, so if one goes off they all go off, alerting the entire house. When I burned the steak, everyone in my two story house knew.

Title: Love this product
Review: This is an economical smoke detector that was super easy to install. The instructions were helpful for proper placement. The little booklet even includes how to clean and test the unit. I needed to add a smoke detector to my bedroom to meet the new codes of my town (current main detector was literally in the hallway outside the bedroom door but needed another in the bedroom too). If you go to Home Depot, the cheapest you can get is over $20 and huge. This was compact and reasonably priced.Would recommend to all my friends especially if they are replacing multiple units.

Title: Easy to mount
Review: This thing is surprisingly loud for it's size. Pretty easy to mount. The included screws are pretty low quality.

Title: All The Features, Just Smaller!
Review: On opening the box, I was disappointed, and was unsure about the alarm. However reading through the details, really one could not ask for more in build, value, functionality, and best of all to me; its not as conspicuous as most smoke detectors. Important in a small house. 10 year battery life, built very sturdy etc, very nice. extremley loud with an inobtrusive monitoring light.

Title: Compact and easy to install
Review: Very easy to install. Should advise that the test button will not work unless the detector is attached to the mounting bracket.

Title: Almost a good deal...
Review: **WILL UPDATE IF ANYTHING CHANGES**Ok, let's start with the positives. (Skip to the bottom for a short summary)- very small and compact ⢠the design does not bring attention to it and takes up minimal space they look "cute" as the girlfriend would put it.- lightweight, easy to install ⢠when installing into drywall its recommended to use the anchors but I didn't find it necessary because of how light they are. Just 2 easy screws!- functionality ⢠Very loud! Which is awsome, louder than my old system for sure.- affordable ⢠for the price you can't beat all of the positives come together for a beautifully designed productThe negatives (oh boy)1. It seems to me that they make these and let them sit on untill they are sold, and may not test them before they send them out to the consumer (you). While the ones that work work great i ordered the 6 pack. 3 of them seem awsome and I have not had to use them, knock on wood (metaphorically), the other 3 not so much. 2 sound like they are already on the cusp of dying and you have to click the button repeatedly for the test function to work which makes me nervous if they will work in a real situation. And last but not least the final smoke detector is functional but the speaker sounds blown. Not ideal for something that is designed to wake you up in your sleep.2. Customer service. I contacted the company directly via email to let them know of these issues giving them my name and order number so they would have no issues looking up that i was a verified buyer. Anyways I contacted them on Thursday I have yet to hear a response (2 buisness days) its now Sunday with no response 4 days total. That being said if I do hear back from them and they offer a solution I will update my rating untill then it seems ive got the buy 6 get 3 working deal. And I'm not comfortable with that!3. Short one, I promise, you can not replace the battery the entire unit needs to be replaced.Sumed upPros.⢠lightweight⢠easy to install⢠compact design⢠loud (kind of, see cons)⢠affordable (kind of, see cons again)Cons.⢠some came damaged⢠customer service? Don't know if they exsist.⢠battery life is questionable⢠no battery replacement, entire unit needs to be replaced.*updateBOOOOOOOit has not been 10 years (advertised as battery lasts 10 years) and all of them have died. Would not buy again would not recommend don't buy this product.
