Kidde Commercial-Grade Fire Extinguisher for Office, Schools, Rechargeable, 2A10BC

Kidde puts out good product. Seems to be of good quality, heavy built.

I just got my extinguisher and I hope I never have to use it. This review will cover everything but actual use. The unit was pack very nicely in a amazon box filled with rolled newspaper. This was likely due to past complaints of other fire extinguishers discharging during shipping. It appears Amazon has resolved this issue as my extinguisher was safely shipped. The shipping was not delayed as amazon advertises on the description. I ordered mine on Saturday and they were at my door on Tuesday. I am a prime member, but the order still advised me it would take an extra 2-3 days. The extinguisher is fairly heavy for a household unit weighing in at 7.5 lbs with 4 lbs of actual extinguishing agent inside. As someone who has a lot of experience with fire extinguishers in the navy and now the power plant industry, I can say this unit appears to be of very nice quality. Obviously not to the standards of the ones I have used at work, but for an affordable household unit I feel this extinguisher would be hard to beat for the price. Also included in the box is inspection tags if you want to get your extinguisher inspected annually by fire department personnel, but it would probably just be cheaper to buy a new extinguisher or get this one refilled every 10 years or so. It also has a "Fire Extinguisher" sticker for labeling this units location. That would be useful in a office or place of business, but not so much in a home. This unit has also been discontinued on Kidde website as they don't mention it anywhere and have new models available. I emailed them and they quickly replied (the next day) and also provided me with the part number of the holding strap for the unit as I could not find information on that either. If you are interested it is part #466400. You can find it on Amazon, but for some reason it is not available on Amazon's "insert a product link" I have not purchased the strap yet, but figured it would be helpful information. If I had to make a negative comment it would be that the cylinder should be taller. When you discharge CO2 you are suppose to have a metal cylinder like this on the ground to prevent the buildup of static electricity. No big deal, and probably won't be a large problem with only 4 lbs of agent to discharge. Pros: +High Quality +Great Price +Rechargeable Con: -Short Cylinder Overall, 5 stars and a must have for a safe home.

So thankful to have the kidde fire extinguishers and thankful they are refillable. Have these in every room and in my work areas. Reliable, dependable and a life saver.

This is the right size for my little apartment. I also appreciated that it came with a hanger for the wall so it is exactly where it needs to be.
