I'm going off a youtube video I watched and yes ionizing (I) give false alarms for cooking but they're also bad for bedrooms from what I understood because they're not sensitive enough for smoldering or fires with light smoke early on. The photoelectric (P) detect in like 5 minutes what the (I) takes like 40 minutes, which if someone's sleeping in the bedroom can mean life or death. First Alert makes an identical looking alarm to this one but it has a symbol instead of and costs more. The video did say that the ideal alarm would have both and built into one unit because there are some benefits with but it's not commonly sold in the U.S. as a combo + so the default to go with is because is significantly faster at detecting smoke and gives less false alarms for cooking.

Basically the type detectors require a large amount of dense smoke in a short amount of time to block the ionizing sensor and set the alarm off. Which is why it has so many false alarms for the kitchen and why it's deadly for detecting fires in the bedroom because by the time the smoke is dense enough to set it off in the bedroom it's likely to late to escape. On the other hand type sensors use cameras to detect smoke and are highly sensitive to small amounts of smoke yet at the same time are able to identify cooking smoke via algorithms so it doesn't give as many false alarms in the kitchen, while also giving life saving early alarms in the bedroom.

I had no idea different types of smoke alarms existed until I came across that video. But look it up for yourself and you will find fire chief after fire chief from all over the country saying to buy over or at the very least make sure you have in the bedroom.

Bummer does not include photo electric smoke detecting, just ionization.

This also list 10-year warranty, implying life span is 10-year, but apparently lifespan is 5-7 years:

smoke detectors on clearance always worry me.... like maybe something isn't working great, but not bad enough to fall outside of legal limits?

I think it's more to move product so they can get new shipments in and remodel their shelves as well.

Still showing available for me. I picked up 10 for rentals. Get them while you can. This is great price. And I am surprised I can buy in CA. Usually CA 10 year battery ones only these days.

These are a bit too sensitive (ionization sensor), so good for rooms not good for rooms near kitchen
