FIRST ALERT PRO5 Rechargeable Heavy Duty Fire Extinguisher, UL RATED 3-A:40-B:C, Red, 1-Pack

This is a 10 lb fire extinguisher, meaning that there is 10 lb of dry chemical powder inside of it. And ABC type fire extinguisher, it is good for most types of fires except kitchen grease fires. It will put out a lot of burning paper, moderate amounts of burning wood or furniture, and can be used on gasoline or diesel fires. You will not get shocked if something electrical is on fire.Probably a 10 lb extinguisher is overkill for a house, but better safe than sorry. If this won't put the fire out, get out of the house and call the fire department!

Because it's intended to provide better coverage, it weighs more, which isn't an issue with me, but it should be something to consider when ordering it for individuals not capable of lifting it.I was bummed because mine didn't come with a mounting bracket, which leads me to belive it was a return. But the unit was fully charged and appears new.

My microwave tried to assassinate me with flaming burritos.When the fire started, I panicked and yelled, “I AM THE FLAME TAMER!” while grabbing this bad boy. I don’t know what was in it—magic foam? Angel breath?—but it annihilated that inferno like it owed it money.Not only did I save my kitchen, but now I tell everyone I’m a part-time firefighter. I’ve started wearing a helmet to the grocery store. People respect me. One lady asked me to bless her toaster.Only downside? The fire’s gone, but my ego is fully ablaze.

When we tested the extinguisher it tested well. We feel well prepared in the event we need to use this device.

Looks good, but I was surprised that the hose was loose on 2 of the 3 I ordered. You can't just use a normal wrench to tighten either, I had to use my bike cone wrenches.

We recently had a small fire in the garage and I had one of these at the time eliminated the fire very fast very efficient.I was impressed how it suffocated the fire and just a matter of minutes.Needless to say, I ordered another one shortly after we use that one up.Also, these are rechargeable fire extinguishers.So now I have several in the house, one in the garage one in the kitchen one downstairs.

Thankfully I haven't needed to use the fire extinguishers at this point, but I'm glad I ordered a couple. Its very important to have a few of these in the house. These were reasonably priced and a bit larger then others that I have. They came the next day! They also provided a hanger for them but I have not installed those.

Great item
