Do you recommend getting a carbon monoxide detector hard-wired in to home or buy an outlet detector?

I am buying a new home, and was wondering about the pro's and con's of having a carbon monoxide dectector hard wired into my homes (this is very costly)

-OR-

Should i buy a device that plugs into an outlet that can monitor carbon monoxide?

What do you suggest ?
What do you use in your homes?

Thanks!

Answer
Always good to have a hard wired system through out the house.But Kiddie makes a great detector that is battery operated and will do the job as good as any hard wired system.Just remember in October to change the batteries whether you need to or not it is good practice.October is fire prevention month so do this and you will be safe.

How does one know if there is a high level of carbon monoxide in the home or garage?

Intermittently, there is an odd odour and someone suggested it may be carbon monoxide. I have 2 cars, one of which is quite old and has no catalytic converter.

You plug in a carbon monoxide detector
