Look Into awards

LookInto Winner in Best smoke alarms

The chart topper, and for an English household it does the job the law asks for. Optical sensing, which responds well to the slow smouldering fires that start in furniture and wiring, and a sealed battery rated for ten years so there is no annual beeping and no 9V to forget.

The catch: it is standalone. Buy three and they will not talk to each other, so a fire downstairs will not wake you upstairs. In Scotland that leaves you short of the tolerable standard whether you own or rent.
