They are pricey so we only have two (one in the kitchen and one in the upstairs hallway). I love them though. We have cheaper ones in the bedrooms. We've had a couple of instances where LO's sippy cup lids fell to the bottom of the dishwasher and were melting (no fire, though) and the alarm alerted us that there was smoke being detected in the kitchen before we even smelled anything. It also sends alerts to our phones through an app. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-smoke-alarms-do-you-have#post-2428455 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 22:01:30 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2428455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea. Whatever kind the builder put in the house when they built it 3.5 years ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-smoke-alarms-do-you-have#post-2428453 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 21:58:28 +0000 Bao 2428453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we moved into our house a few years ago the previous owners only had two smoke alarms in the house, and none in the bedrooms. So the first thing we did was go out and buy some, install, call it a day. DH was just watching a video on types of alarms, ionization and photoelectric-I had no idea there were different kinds! I just figured different brands, price ranges, combo with carbon monoxide. We got a middle of the road one and a separate carbon monoxide detector. We have the ionization ones, now I'm thinking we need to get the photoelectric ones as well.</p> <p>What type do you have? One or the other, combo? </p>
