Want to install a Carbon Monoxide detector

Probably just want one that plugs into an outlet. I understand that you can get a combo smoke and CO detector but I would need to replace many perfectly fine smoke detectors.
What is the go-to plug in CO detector?

Why not just replace them as they go bad?
I started off replacing the good ones just in the bedrooms. Eventually the smoke detectors get a fault and you have to change them anyway and I replace them with the smoke/CO combos.
I've always gone with First Alert. They make plug ins as well.

Aren't CO2 detectors supposed to be higher up than most outlets?
Anyways, I got the highest rated ones on Amazon and put them in every room. Reviews said the batteries will last a decade.

Co2 is a heavy gass. Usually about plug height or close to a furnace/heater. Or gas source. They make the combos but if they are on the ceiling you will be knocked out of it’s leaking from a heat source before the alarm gets it

CO2 is heavier and tends to sink, but CO is slightly lighter than air.
The truth is that it doesn't really matter where you put the detector though because the CO won't go high or low, but just kind of spread out.
All of mine are high, including above the door that I run my generator outside of.
