Review: Wanted it specifically for kitchen use - This review is for the kitchen fire extinguisher. I based this purchase strictly on wanting a small, handy fire extinguisher specifically for kitchen use. I happen to know the classifications and uses for different types of extinguishers but my wife doesn't, so I wanted to take the guesswork out of a time-sensitive event. I bought this and mounted it at the top of my basement stairs which is in close proximity to the kitchen and easily accessible if needed. It is compact and has a low-profile. Not too heavy to handle and operate. Most importantly it is specifically intended for oil/grease and electrical fires (B-C). The other deciding factor was that it has a pressure indicator. I was considering some of the aerosol-type extinguishers but they have no way of indicating they are still pressurized. The last thing you want to do is "hope" the unit will work when needed (over time, extinguishers may lose pressure). This has an approved test button that you occasionally press to ensure the unit is still pressurized (it does NOT discharge any agent - it simply tests for adequate pressure). You should NEVER test extinguishers by slightly discharging them - the nozzle seal will be broken and it will slowly lose pressure. It will be rendered useless shortly after such a test. Overall this seems to meet our needs and we hope it's never needed. NOTE: I purchased this item on desertcart for full price and have no affiliation to the seller. I try to write helpful, unbiased and insightful reviews because I also read reviews prior to making my own buying decisions. I notice many reviews lack helpful information, are not well written or give poor reviews based on not reading directions, inexperience or failing to read the product details prior to purchasing. Writing valuable reviews helps pay it forward.
Review: Perfect for most kitchen fires. - This mounts to wall with a black retainer. It's easy to pull out of the mount, but still secure enough to withstand a light impact without dropping the extinguisher. This is rated for grease and electrical fires, and has a feature many small extinguishers lack: a way to check pressure in the form of a little green button that can be depressed. If it pops back up, the charge is still good, and if not, it's time to replace the unit. The extinguisher has enough of a load to handle a pretty good blaze. The scant downsides: Like most small extinguishers, it cannot be refilled after use and will lose pressure over time if used without emptying the contents completely. It's a powder based extinguisher, and the powder is conductive if wet- so it's not going to suppress arcing on wet electronics, and may actually make things worse in that one scenario.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I know there is only a 5 year warranty, but does anyone know how long it can be expected to last & still work?**
A: We have a local free medical clinic that has three 5 pound extinguishers dating to 2013. Our most recent inspection revealed that each had a lable specifying a more involved inspection at the 6 year point. So our fire inspection company took the three back to their lab where (I think) they will do a much more involved inspection of the valve, trigger, contents, etc.  Perhaps this is overkill .. I dunno .. but maybe just a pressure guage still being in the green (as my three personal small 30 year old extinguishes shows) is not totally reliable of readiness to use.

**Q: Is this unit the safest for grease fires in kitchens?**
A: Some fire extinguishers have toxic chemicals but this is sodium bicarbonate. It won't poison your kitchen if you use it. I like to keep an open box of baking powder next to the stove as an initial step in case of a grease fire. You can also smother it with another larger pan if the fire is confined to a pan. If that isn't possible, the best method is to take this can and step back a few feet, then spray the area and it should smother the flames. Don't get too close because the pressure might send the burning grease flying about. I keep a high-pressure fire extingusher in addition to this. But it has toxic chemicals and might splash burning grease/oils.

**Q: Before I purchase this I want to make sure it is safe to use on gas ranges/ovens.**
A: The bottle says BC . Type B is for flammable
Liquids such as gas or oil, type c is for electoral fires. If you want soemthing for grease fire use a type k. Or keep the lid of the pot or pan close to put on it to smother the fire. Different types of fire require different elements of extinguishing it. Saw a comment that said about fire being fire and it should be able to take out all fire. This is wrong. Different types of fire need different types of extinguishing agent the wrong kind could not work or make it worse. Definitely use a type K fire extinguisher

**Q: How is this kitchen rated when its not class k? Class b-c is for flammable liquids and electrical fires. Class k is for grease fires.**
A: Class k is for commercial kitchens. That means large grease fires and industrial hood vent systems. So unless you have a deep fryer at home you probably don’t need class k.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An essential item!
*by K***E on November 6, 2023*

This purchase replaces the expired extinguishers ... yeah, about 30 years expired. I know, don't say it. I decided I should get them because .... duh! Yeah, aside from the obvious, I bought a new gas stove after my old gas stove died. I wanted to be prepared. There's no reason to think the new stove will try to set the house on fire, but right now it's a stranger in my home and I want to be armed in case it acts up when my daughter cooks Thanksgiving dinner. This will be the real trial test for the stove, the turkey hours and the stove top cooking. I can't say anything about to the extinguisher, except to say that it fits the storage holder that I installed 30 years ago. I know I'm supposed to test them, but when you test them they expire faster and there's no built in guage for monitoring the status. After testing, there's no way to know if there will be enough to put a fire out. Yes, they should be replaced often enough that I shouldn't have those concerns. I know that. We don't plan the fires and we should be prepared. Oh! I just thought ... I need to find out the proper way to dispose of the old ones. My daughter and I are going to try out the old ones, just to see how such old extinguishers work. Well, with these extinguishers, I guess you don't know how they work until you need to know that they do work.
