Move-In Safety Check: Plug-In CO Alarms
A new place is also a place where you do not know the wiring or the heating. A carbon monoxide alarm is cheap insurance.
My pick: First Alert plug-in carbon monoxide alarm, 3-pack

WHY THIS ONE
- Three plug-in alarms with a 9V battery backup, so they keep working in a power cut.
- Plug in and you are done, with no installation or wall mount.
- It is one of the most-reviewed CO alarms on Amazon.
CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY
- Ask your landlord what is already installed. Many leases and local rules require working alarms.
- Alarms expire. Check the replacement date on the one you buy.
