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.

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

With interconnected - one alarm goes off, all the alarms beep and I believe the one detecting smoke will have another indication. More useful in early detection of smoke/CO say from the basement where you might not hear the beep immediately. of course gets loud since all of them start beeping at once. Its a feature built within alarms.

In my experience I would NEVER buy a dual smoke / CO detector. CO detectors last 5-7 years. Smoke detectors last 10. So the CO will die within 7 years and probably start beeping so it makes the smoke detector lasting 10 years pointless.
And people, you should have BOTH photo and ion detectors. It's really not that difficult.
