Carbon monoxide detectors are perfect for travelers who want to protect themselves from this dangerous, invisible and odorless gas when staying in home rentals or hotels.
For Amazon Prime Day, a popular, well-reviewed carbon monoxide detector from that list is just $17.14 (down from a list price of $27.99). That's a 62% savings off the published price.

To buy: Kidde travel carbon monoxide detector, $17.14 (normally $27.99)
The Kidde battery-powered carbon monoxide detector runs on two AA batteries, which are included. No wiring is required, and you can mount the detector on a wall or set it on a tabletop. It's also pretty compact at 4.5 inches by 1.5 inches by 2.75 inches. So, it shouldn't take up much space in your carry-on bag.
