Review title: Annoying, unreliable, and potentially dangerous
Product review: If I were trying to design the worst smoke alarm that I could possibly think of, I would make one that goes off at 3:38 am with an annoyingly loud voice that says "EMERGENCY! EVACUATE! EVACUATE!". Eventually, the homeowner would disconnect the stupid thing. Then he could have a smoke alarm that seemed to protect his family, but is actually just an empty ugly disk on the ceiling. If I were really good, I could design it so that its batteries would always run low at 3:38 am also, causing an annoying voice announcement and a set of beeps to go off every 30 seconds. But if I were a REAL genius, I would make sure that every new building permit required that these annoying, unreliable, and potentially unsafe devices be installed inside every bedroom and in every hallway. But I would have to be a government employee to be that clever. Instead, maybe I should just design a toilet that requires multiple flushes to save water.
