Generators With CO Shutoff Sensors
Carbon monoxide from portable generators kills roughly 85 people a year in the US, almost always because a unit was run in a garage, a porch, or too close to a window. A CO shutoff sensor kills the engine when concentration climbs. It is the single feature most worth paying for and it is still not universal.
