I am a heavy sleeper and frequently worry about being home alone and having a fire. I manage to sleep thru all alarms. The product makes me feel safer!

We strongly believe this is an exceptional product and does exactly what it is advertised to do. We recently installed eight of the units and couldn't be more pleased. A study comparing conventional residential tone smoke alarms with personalized parental voice alarms was published in Pediatrics, Vol. 118 No. 4, October 2006. It showed: - 96% of the children in Stage 4 sleep were awakened by the parental voice command compared with only 58% to the tone only alarm. - The median time to awaken was 20 seconds in the voice alarm group compared with 3 minutes in the tone alarm group. - The median time to escape was 38 seconds in the voice alarm group compared with the maximum allowed 5 minutes in the tone alarm group. Their study concluded that personalized parental voice alarms significantly outperformed conventional residential tone smoke alarms. It's also an excellent product for individuals that have a hearing impairment and have difficulty hearing a standard smoke alarm.
