American Red Cross Blackout Buddy Carbon Monoxide Detector | Plug-In or Battery Backup | UL2034 Certified

Etón started making shortwave radios in 1986, then hand-crank emergency gear in 2002, and eventually partnered with the American Red Cross to build safety products that run on nature's energy when the grid doesn't. This carbon monoxide detector is certified to UL2034 standards and watches for CO from fireplaces, heaters, clogged chimneys, idling cars, and other sources people forget emit invisible gas. Plugs into a standard 120V outlet with battery backup so it keeps working when the power cuts out. The LCD shows real-time CO levels in ppm, there's an LED flashlight built in, and it lights up and beeps when things go wrong. Rated for a ten-year lifespan, which in detector years is roughly forever.

Plug it in and forget about it until it screams, which is the correct relationship to have with safety equipment. The LCD will spend years displaying a calm zero until the day your furnace decides to get weird, at which point this thing earns its keep in one horrible beeping minute. Battery backup exists because carbon monoxide famously does not take nights off when the power goes out, and neither should the device reminding you to leave the house immediately.
