    Suggest You Search for Best Price
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018*

If you have an installed USI-1204, you can just replace the screw on bottom without having to change the base including rewiring. Mine was installed in 2004 (need to replace every 10 years) and it worked great for me. Very easy to just plug into already existing base and screw on the new bottom.However, suggest you search for best price. Amazon market merchant 7Day sold for $53 and now dropped it to$43 - this is a very high price. Amazon Prime at $30 per.  USI Electric (from their online store) for $18 per.Price was important for me as I had to replace 9 units in my home.

    If One Of Them Goes Off, You Might As Well Replace Them All At The Same Time
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015*

While we have a full security system in our home, we also had two of these units installed when we completed a new addition.  Believe it or not, they each lasted about eleven years before failing with a loud and constant wailing--at 3:00am on consecutive nights. Being somewhat confused and tired on the night when the first one went off, we thought that they were wired into our primary alarm system.  When we tried to disable them on the alarm panel, it set off our main system resulting in calls from the security company monitors.  Unfortunately we forgot that they were independent of the primary system and our efforts to disable them actually caused us to set off the main panel. OOPS!  I finally figured out how to disable them and pulled the front panel off and disconnected the battery.  That worked so well the first night that I was ready for the second one to go off on the next night.  I wish that I had simply disconnected the second one so that we didn't have to deal with another alarm that second night.  Live and learn. So if one of these does fail in the middle of the night, just pull off the front cover by twisting it to the left and then pull apart the plastic battery connector.Then order two of these USI 1204's.  These are the perfect replacement.  You don't have to mount the new base that comes with it, just remove the top part with the battery in it, pull out the plastic sleeve to activate the battery, and twist the new cover into the old mount.  A green light should come on and you're "good to go".  Good price, fast delivery, and easy to install.

    Great replacement!
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018*

The house was built 13 years ago, and these were installed at construction. The newer models have a different base, and I've been happy with the performance of this version since the house was built, so as the old ones needed replacing, I opted for exact replacements rather than a full upgrade to the new bases. These are hard to find nowadays and the ones here are Amazon are not old stock, but rather newly manufactured ones, which means they work perfectly. Super easy to replace on the old sockets, and I've not had a bad one in all the ones I've replaced. Excellent purchase!
