First Alert Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm, Two Pack, $54.99 at Costco

Some my consider this a repost but this does not appear in Costco's ad several days ago. (item # 1299696) The reason I am posting it is because Costco's ad does not mention that this smoke AND carbon monoxide detector is also on sale.

It also does not mention that this has a 10 year battery. I picked up a 2 pack yesterday for $54.99,that's $15.00 off,so that's about $27.49 a piece.
I think this is a very good price. The ad runs from 1/2/19 to 1/27/19

Does anyone know if these are interconnected or battery-only?

These are battery only, which is included. Battery is good for 10 years.

fwiw i have a few of these units that were from Target. 2 out of the 5 have already given me false alarms (I know they are false since FD came out and checked. I have never had an issue with the regular AA battery ones.

How's the review in Amazon for this product? And link?
Last time I saw a 10 year battery First Alert Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm in store at Costco, the review at Amazon is pretty bad and many said battery doesn't last for 10 years at all. Not sure if this is the same product.

I just read over the instructions and can find no mention of Z-wave compatibility.

Yes. Has happened to me, false alarms on both of them. I finally had enough and replaced them.

Support was of no help.

Being that this is Costco, returns are never an issue with this type of item. I have never used this combo unit in the past so I can not speak to the false alarm issues. First Alert has been in business a very long time. I am surprised support was lacking from them.
