I don't have any experience with the company mentioned. I find it hard to believe that the smoke detectors (mine are First Alert brand) only work 45% of the time. Sounds like scare tactics and sales hipe. Mine go off every time something burns in the kitchen. Also, the ones I have are smoke AND carbon monoxide alarms. I just went on best reviews.com and they have first alert brand as 2 of the top five smoke detectors.
Plus be sure that you can easily get replacement smoke detector. My house is 12 years old and I just had to replace a First Alert smoke detector (would not stop beeping even after battery replacement). I easily found a replacement on Amazon just by entering the model number and it plugged right in - a 5 minute fix.
