My Airbnb didn't have a CO detector, so I bought this portable one (down to $19)
You can't put a price on safety, but $19 is extremely reasonable for a product that could save lives. This isn't the absolute lowest price I've seen for this model, but at over 30% off, it's one of the best prices it's been marked down to as of late.
True story: Because I'm a safety obsessive, I check every hotel room and Airbnb I stay in to see whether there's a carbon monoxide detector. Recently, I was at an Airbnb that only had smoke detectors. So what did I do? I went out and bought the Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector.
It might seem a little extreme, but I'd rather err on the side of caution. Since this portable model is quite compact, I plan on keeping it in my suitcase juuust in case. After all, vacation is much more enjoyable with some peace of mind!
At under half a pound and 5 inches wide, the Kidde makes a smart travel mate, but it's ideal for at-home use as well. It calls for two AA batteries (included) and can be mounted to a wall or placed on a table or other flat surface. To ensure it's working, press the test button (it's loud). The green light means it's on, but a red light and beeping means you should go outside immediately.
This pint-size carbon monoxide detector comes with a 10-year limited manufacturer warranty, but you'll want to make sure the batteries are always in working order. (Speaking of batteries: Because it doesn't plug into an outlet, it'll keep working during power outages.)
Over 27,000 Amazon customers are sleeping easier with the Kidde Carbon Monoxide Detector.
"This product possibly saved my and the lives of my family," shared one relieved shopper. "I decided to replace the ones I had mounted from several years ago; two weeks after and at 4 a.m., it began alerting near my boiler room. After having an army of plumbers come in, it was found that there was a CO leak from my old boiler that was not persistent, so it wasn't at a level to set off my old alarm. It was explained that the issue was progressive and would have gotten worse, so the early alerting gave me an opportunity to address the problem before it got to a point where it could have caused real physical damage or possibly much worse."
"We got this to take to Cozumel with us," shared a savvy jetsetter. "It was very lightweight and easy to pack. I highly recommend taking one when traveling abroad. I don't think you can ever be too safe."
"My last one needed to be replaced after it started beeping due to age," explained a repeat buyer. "Luckily, it was of the same brand, so this new detector went right back onto the same backplate, with no need to install the new one. Easy as pie. CO detectors are a must-have for anyone who has fossil fuel-based utilities, including a furnace, boiler, water heater or stove, and these are a great option.
"One downside is that it does not have a screen," wrote an otherwise thankful reviewer, "so at first I was hesitant whether it was actually beeping from detecting CO or low battery. ... This product literally saved the lives of me and my two toddlers! We had a leak of carbon monoxide in our home from our standby generator, and by the time the fire department arrived and tested, they said the levels in our attic leaking down into our home from our generator were extremely dangerously high. Cannot explain in words how grateful I am for this quality product."
"A must-have!" exclaimed a final fan. "I like that you can either hook it up on a wall or you can leave it on a different surface." Their one note? "I wish it had a plug-in option." (Psst: I also have this plug-in model in my house, though it's less travel-friendly.)
While we're at it, need a new smoke detector?

I've Tested Countless Swimsuits, and These Tankinis Are My Vacation Favorites—From $28
When it comes to travel essentials, tossing a swimsuit or two in your carry-on is always a good idea. Summer is the perfect time to treat yourself to new vacation swimwear that's versatile, comfortable, and flattering. If you love the convenience of a two-piece, but prefer a little more coverage than your typical bikini, you'll be happy to know tankinis are trending again—and today's styles are more flattering than ever. The best part? Tankinis are perfect for mixing and matching, so you can shop for separates as well as sets. Keep scrolling for my favorite tankini swimsuits from Boden, Summersalt, Cupshe, and more shopper-loved swimsuit brands, starting at $28. Best Tankini Swimsuits Cupshe V-neck Criss-cross Ruched Tankini Amazon I recently took this Cupshe tankini on a Colorado road trip and was pleasantly surprised at how stylish and functional it was. The top provided impressive lift and support, and the ruching was so flattering, I even posted a few selfies on Instagram from my waterfall hike to Treasure Falls. I loved wearing this suit to the hotel pool, then just slipping on pants and wearing the top like a tank when I had to run back to the room or stop by the lobby bar. Travel + Leisure Carve Designs Stinson Tankini Amazon There are so many great tankini tops at Amazon, like this style from Carve Designs. Keep things simple by grabbing a basic bikini bottom and then mixing and matching with different tops. This black tankini from Carve Designs has a built-in shelf bra, removable pads, and an athletic back. It also comes with a UPF 50+ rating for optimal sun protection. One Amazon reviewer raved about its comfort, saying it was 'very, very comfortable' and 'stays put all day.' Beachsissi V-neck Tummy Control Tankini Amazon If you haven't tried a V-neck, ruched swimsuit, I'm here to tell you it's an extremely flattering style—especially in a tankini. Seriously, once you slip into this Beachsissi tankini set, you'll be ready to head to the pool or beach with confidence. I love the selection of solid tops and floral print bikini bottoms. My favorites are the sky blue top with cornflower bottoms and the light pink top with orange blossom bottoms. Tommy Hilfiger Classic Bikini Bottom Amazon If you're looking for a basic bikini bottom to pair with a variety of tankini tops, this Tommy Hilfiger is it. This classic bottom provides UPF 50+ sun protection, comes in a variety of colors, and earns top reviews for comfort and rear coverage. One shopper praised the cut of the bottom, saying, '[It's] hard to find a suit with good rear coverage. This one is perfect.' Boden Enhancer Tankini Top Boden If you're seeking a swimsuit with great support, look no further. A halter-style tankini with a true built-in bra (underwire and padded cups), the Enhancer Tankini from Boden was made to flatter. According to reviewers, the suit works well for both small and large busts, with a 38DD shopper saying it fit perfectly, and another small-busted reviewer noting, 'This tankini top is super flattering on my modest 34A bust. It fits really well without any gaping, and the padding gives a much-needed bit of shape.' Lands' End Tulip Hem Tankini Top Land's End Lands' End has gone all in on tankinis. With five fit categories (classic length, modern length, midkini length, high neck, and plus-size) and dozens of styles, it's easy to find the cut and color that best suits your body type. The Tulip Hem Tankini Top offers even more choices, with nearly 20 colors and patterns to choose from, as well as petite, regular, and long torso options. A built-in bra and adjustable straps ensure comfort, while the tulip hemline flatters your midline. Bonus: The fabric is chlorine-resistant, so go ahead and hit the pool without worrying about damage. That goes for you, too, since this tankini comes with UPF 50 sun protection. Summersalt Cinched Square-neck Tankini Top Summersalt I own more than a few tankinis, but I couldn't resist adding this cute Summersalt pick to my cart. It has ruching, and it's adjustable. Also, the wide straps and flirty side bows are fun additions. Plus, it includes a shelf bra and the elusive sewn-in cups. You can feel good about the fabric too—it's made with recycled post-consumer materials, including old fishing nets pulled from the ocean. La Blanca Island Goddess Halter Tankini Top Amazon I'm a longtime La Blanca swimsuit fan. They know a woman's body, and I have multiple swimsuits from the brand that not only look great, but the quality stands up over time. This Island Goddess Halter Tankini Top has wide supportive straps, a sexy plunging neckline, and flattering tummy ruching. And if ocean swimming and body surfing are on your vacation schedule, reviewers claim it stays perfectly in place in the water. Patagonia Cami Tankini Top REI As you would expect, REI has several sporty tankini options. I like this Cami Tankini Top from Patagonia that reminds me of my favorite yoga sports bra. It's a supportive, full-coverage top that holds you in securely for swimming in the ocean or frolicking with the kids in the hotel pool. The top is available in black or a beautiful, subtly striped blue. For the bottoms, choose from a variety of Patagonia styles with a range of coverage, from bikini bottoms to board shorts. Lilly Pulitzer Brenta Tankini Top Lilly Pulitzer Leave it to Lilly Pulizer to create the ultimate luxe tankini for looking great poolside or cruising around the resort in comfort and style. This top has a flattering V-neck design with adjustable straps and light shirring through the torso, plus removable cups for customizable coverage. The gold shell detailing is such a nice touch, too. Pair this tankini top with the Betie Bikini Bottom, a mid-rise hipster with moderate back coverage, and you're ready for an unforgettable vacation. The suit takes up little suitcase space, and it's made with quick-drying fabric, so it's super easy to rinse in the hotel sink and dry overnight. Travel + Leisure Love a great deal?

11 Wrinkle-free Travel Outfits That Look Polished Right Out of Your Suitcase—All Under $50
If you're anything like me, your pet peeve is wrinkled clothing—which is practically unavoidable when traveling. For the longest time, I would lug my trusty steamer to each destination I traveled to, which took up way too much valuable space in my carry-on. It wasn't until recently that I discovered a better, less bulky solution: Amazon's vast selection of wrinkle-free, travel-friendly clothing. I was able to find a two-piece set that won't crease on a long-haul flight, flowy linen-like pants that I can wear straight out of my suitcase, and tons of other pieces that don't require any ironing or steaming, as confirmed by five-star reviewers. If you, too, are tired of unpacking crumpled, wrinkled outfits from your suitcase, keep scrolling. I've rounded up 11 of the best wrinkle-free clothing items that Amazon has to offer right now, below. The best part? They're all under $50. Keep reading for my favorite budget-friendly, wrinkle-free finds, starting at just $13. This one-piece jumpsuit is an easy vacation outfit that you can wear on the plane, to the beach, or wherever else your adventure takes you. The ultra-soft, wrinkle-free material gives the stylish overalls a lightweight and breathable feel. They also have customizable features—like adjustable straps and easy-to-cuff pant legs—so you can tailor them to your height. One shopper raved, 'The fabric is so comfortable,' adding that it 'does not wrinkle easily.' A classic white tee is the backbone of every travel wardrobe, and this wrinkle-free option from Wiholl puts a fresh spin on the capsule closet staple. This loose-fitting top has fashion-forward accents like cap sleeves and extended arm holes, and is cut in a way that won't show your bra. 'The fabric feels high quality and has a smooth, structured look that resists wrinkles—even after being packed in a suitcase,' wrote one shopper. These wide-leg pants from Ewedoos have the look of dress pants, but are made with a stretchy, wrinkle-free material that 'feels like sweatpants.' These slacks are made with a soft, textured waffle fabric that gives the bottoms their comfortable feel. Bonus: They're available in petite sizes, which I especially appreciate as a five-foot-tall shopper. The name says it all:These straight-leg pants from Lee are truly wrinkle-free, making them a travel wardrobe must-have. These tailored dress pants feature a flexible waistband and are made with a stretchy material that won't feel stiff or constraining on flights, excursions, or walking tours. One reviewer gushed that the pants are 'very flattering and comfy,' and said, 'It's always a hit or miss on how things will fit from offline, but these are amazing.' Similarly, this button-down shirt's biggest selling point is its wrinkle-free capabilities. This classic striped shirt comes in a whopping 32 colors, so there are countless options to choose from. One Amazon shopper wrote, 'I'm not a fan of ironing, so this meets my needs well,' adding that the fabric is soft 'straight from the package.' Right now, you can snag the effortlessly chic piece for 35 percent off, bringing the price down to just $19. This breezy maxi dress from Anrabess is an elevated, throw-on-and-go alternative to leggings and a T-shirt while traveling, and it's just as comfortable. This tiered, flowy dress is airy and breathable, and it has two convenient side pockets for stashing your essentials. Pair it with sneakers for an effortless daytime outfit to wear on the plane, or add heels and a cropped jacket for the perfect night out look. Whether you're hitting the trails, catching a flight, or running errands, these wrinkle-free, moisture-wicking pants are a fit for any occasion. This No.1 Amazon bestseller has thoughtful details, including an adjustable elastic waistband, deep side pockets, and a 7/8 length that hits just above the ankles, preventing the bottoms from dragging on the floor. 'The fabric is lightweight and silky, and they pack well for travel with no wrinkles,' raved one shopper. Amazon's top-selling two-piece set is truly a traveler's dream. The sleeveless mock neck top and cropped, wide-leg pants are crafted from an ultra-soft, wrinkle-free material that won't crease during a long-haul flight, so you can walk off the plane feeling polished and put together. One Amazon shopper wrote, 'I had this outfit on for 18 straight hours and it did not wrinkle,' while another reviewer agreed that the 'insanely soft' fabric 'doesn't wrinkle at all.' Finding a comfortable hiking outfit for the beginning of fall can be tricky;he mornings are typically chilly and the temperatures begin to spike in the afternoon. But this long-sleeved, breathable top will keep you comfortable from sun-up to sundown. The material is soft, quick-drying, and offers UPF 50+ sun protection, and according to one shopper, it stays 'wrinkle-free,' even after washing and drying. Whether you're on vacation or at home, this little black dress is a piece you'll reach for again and again. It has a flowy, loose-fitting silhouette that's made of a slightly stretchy spandex blend fabric that's 'seriously soft,' according to one five-star reviewer. But the subtle contrast stitching detail along the neckline and sleeves is what sets this simple dress apart from other styles. However, if your closet is stuffed to the brim with black dresses—like mine is—it also comes in 13 other colors and patterns. The warm-weather season may be coming to a close, but there's still plenty of time to make use of a pair of breezy palazzo pants, especially if you have an end-of-summer beach getaway planned. These flowy bottoms from Duyang 'don't wrinkle easily,' according to reviewers, so you can pull them straight out of your carry-on, throw them on over your swimsuit, and waste no time getting to the beach.
