Every home should have several
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is something that no one ever wants to have to use. But the security and peace of mind knowing that we have this Kidde 1A10BC Basic Use Fire Extinguisher is worth it's weight in gold. And Kidde is the top brand in fire extinguishers. So go with the best and trusted brand. Don't look for a bargain when shopping for fire extinguishers. You can't put a price on the safety of you home and loved ones. This Kidde 1A10BC Basic Use Fire Extinguisher is suitable for use on Class A (trash, wood and paper), Class B (liquids and gases) and Class C (energized electrical equipment) fires. So it is perfect for the home. There is an easy-to-read gauge tells you the fire extinguisher is charged and ready for use. And there is a clear instruction label using graphics to show the steps required to operate the extinguisher. It comes with a wall mount and a 6-year limited warranty. Every home should have several.
Lightweight Necessity
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very compact and convenient sized fire extinguisher. It is not heavy at all. The packaging states that it weighs 2.5 pounds, and it is very easy to lift and manage. The pin is not stiff to pull out. I was able to take the pin out and return it to the locking position with ease. I like that this extinguisher is rated for various uses, electrical fires, trash fires, wood fires, and liquid chemical fires. For me, this takes the guess work out of the way, so that when I do need to use it I will not need to waste precious time by making sure I have the correct extinguisher to put out the correct fire. This compact extinguisher has been great to have in my car. I have a special designated space in my minivan where I now keep this extinguisher, along with all my other emergency road-side gear. I also have the same model and brand in other multiple locations inside my home, but those are the larger cans and they can be heavy. I love the lightweight convenience of this size, because not only can I use it with ease, but my children can easily pick it up and use it as well in an emergency situation.
Everyone should have one
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank goodness we have this! You just never know when you will need to use it. It saved our yard and surrounding structures by keeping a small fire from getting out of hand. This is a basic use fire extinguisher that is suitable for use on Class A (trash, wood and paper), Class B (liquids and gases) and Class C (energized electrical equipment) fires. It is made from lightweight aluminum with a tough nylon valve assembly. It is fitted with a pressure gauge that shows the status of how much is left in the unit. The Kidde basic use fire extinguisher also includes an easy-to-pull safety pin and a clear instruction label on the front. You can hang it on your wall, or attach it to your boat or vehicle with the mount that is included. Every house, car and boat needs to have a fire extinguisher. We've had to use one when the lawnmower caught fire and set the grass a blaze. I'm very glad we had one handy. I trust the Kidde brand and have other fire extinguishers from the same brand in our house and vehicles. You never know when you will need one so it is always good to have one around. I highly recommend this for everyone for their cars, boats, and homes. Hopefully we will never need to use one again but if we do, at least I can feel secure knowing this one will work.
Make sure you know the different classes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Review of the Kidde 1A10BC Basic Use Fire Extinguisher, 2.5 lbs. Fortunately I have not had to use the fire extinguisher, as of yet. So my review is based on the brand of Kidde fire extinguishers that I have used in the past. If you want a good fire extinguisher for your home the Kidde brand is a good brand. And also, make sure that you chose the right type for the type of fire that you may encounter. Remember that all fire extinguishers are not the same and will not work on any kind of fire. So the Kidde 1A10BC Basic Use Fire Extinguisher, 2.5 lbs is a good extinguisher for using in the home. The class letters ABC indicate that the extinguisher can be used on three types of typical fires that can occur in the home. A is for normal trash, wood or paper that may catch on fire. The B C means that the extinguisher can be used on liquids and gases. This does not mean grease fires. If you think you might need an extinguisher for your stove you would look for a class F extinguisher that is for cooking oil fires. The class ABC will give you better coverage for any type of fire. I would recommend that every home have a fire extinguisher and make sure you have the right class for your needs.
Received unit "empty"
Purchased the extinguisher as a gift for my son-in-law. When he opened the box it was full of white powder. The extinguisher's pin was out and it was fully discharged showing as empty. I'm not sure how to return as I ordered it on line. Very disappointed.

Kidde Extinguisher is Strong & Durable, Big Win!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kidde Extinguisher is Strong & Durable, Big Win! Kidde 1A10BC Basic Use Fire Extinguisher, 2.5 lbs.! This Kidde Fire Extinguisher is so nice to have around your home. I like to keep one in every room as you just never know what or when a fire may start. The fire extinguisher is good for wood, liquids, and electrical according to the box. This fire extinguisher is warrantied for 6 years and they do last a super long time (in my opinion). Kidde Fire Extinguishers gives me peace of mind now. I love the brand and I love how long they last as well. This Kidde Fire Extinguisher has a metal pin and aluminum body and comes with a bracket that has two screws that can mount to any wall or place that will accept the screws. The extinguisher itself just sits freely on the bracket so it comes off fast in an emergency. You can feel the quality of the extinguisher itself just by holding it and seeing the metal handles and the really nice easy to see pressure gauge on it. Overall: Super High Quality in my opinion and they last a really long time! They come with a 6-year limited warranty which should say all you need to know about the quality! I love the fire extinguishers that Kidde puts out and I would never use another brand. The fire extinguisher is super reliable and easy to mount just about anywhere out of the way. I would absolutely recommend this fire extinguisher to anyone! You just can’t go wrong in my opinion on this buy!
Great products for a great price
Got the 2 pack. Shipping was fast, price was as cheap as I've seen anywhere, and I opened both boxes and the products were pretty much as they looked like on the site. These extinguishers were lighter and smaller than I was used to as well. Definitely a good thing, because smaller people like my wife can use it easily, and it can fit in convenient spaces like my kitchen cabinet. Will definitely be buying more in the future!
Kidde, a name synonymous with fire protection
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compact fire extinguisher that you can keep anywhere in your house where there is a chance of ignition. Measures 13 inches high so it is easily stored where you might need it. Information on the box says it fights wood, paint, flammable liquids and energized electrical equipment fires. It's a one-time use disposable extinguisher. Instructions say to replace after first use or after 12 years. We live in an area with a volunteer fire department and the response time is at least 20-25 minutes so we have these throughout the house. The national fire protection association recommends a minimum of two extinguishers like this on each level of your home.
An essential in every home
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We actually needed a fire extinguisher, so I was really glad to get this. We haven't used it yet, thankfully, but I'm sure it will come in handy if we ever need it. It says it's good for one use or for 12 years: on wood, paper, fabrics, electronics and flammable liquids.
Haven't had to use yet
They arrived with both canisters still full (in the green). Both of the fire extinguishers had the pins missing (they were in the bottom of the box) It looked like the pins were to protect it from being accidentally discharged, but the safety zip tie was still in tact and the canisters looked to be fine. I haven't had to use them so hopefully they will be fine.
