the advantage of the wired detectors is they are all interconnected. When one goes off they all go off......the non wired battery powered are better than none.

Most smoke detector companies recommend against having one in the kitchen as there are far too many variables generated there i.e. cooking, dishwasher steam, etc that will set them off.
