Nice Extinguisher from a Reputable Manufacturer
Safety first, ha! Well, it is a fire extinguisher alright. How well does it work…I dunno. I just buy em and put them in the house and garage. Well, I have used Kidde extinguishers before and they never failed me. Good size for the vehicle or where space is an issue. This will probably put out most small fires if you get to it early.

Includes a hanger, which is essential.
Affordable and compact, ready to save my 3D printer farm in case of a fire. The extinguisher feels solid. The plastic hanger is adequate.

Compact fire extinguisher perfect for home use
I bought this small fire extinguisher after we had a little fire accident at home that really scared me. Thankfully, I haven’t had to use it (and hopefully never will!), but I feel much safer knowing it’s there just in case.The size is perfect for a home or office, compact enough to keep in the kitchen without taking up space, but it still feels solid and reliable. It fits nicely in a cabinet or corner, and it doesn’t look bulky or industrial.It gives me real peace of mind to have it close by. I’m very happy I found something that fits in my kitchen so well in both size and appearance. Hopefully I’ll never need to test it, but I’m glad I have it!

Compact, Reliable, and Essential for Safety
I bought the Kidde 5-B:C Fire Extinguisher for my home and office, and I’m extremely satisfied with the quality and peace of mind it provides. It’s a compact yet powerful extinguisher designed primarily for Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical fires), making it perfect for kitchens, garages, and workplaces.Pros:✅ Lightweight & Compact: At just 3.2 lbs., it’s easy to store in small spaces and grab in an emergency.✅ Simple Operation: The safety pin and trigger mechanism are straightforward, making it easy to use even under stress.✅ USCG Approved: A great option for boats as well as home and office use.✅ Includes Strap Bracket: The mounting bracket keeps it secure, whether in a kitchen, garage, or vehicle.✅ Trusted Brand: Kidde is a well-known name in fire safety, and this extinguisher meets all expected quality standards.Cons:🔹 Limited to B & C Fires: This extinguisher is not rated for Class A fires (wood, paper, fabric), so it’s best paired with an ABC-rated extinguisher for full coverage.🔹 Single-Use Design: Like many small fire extinguishers, this one is not rechargeable, meaning once discharged, it must be replaced.Final Verdict:For anyone looking for a compact, effective, and affordable fire extinguisher for their home, office, car, or boat, this Kidde 5-B:C model is an excellent choice. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and includes a mounting bracket for added convenience. While it’s not suitable for Class A fires, it’s a must-have for kitchens, garages, and electrical areas. I’ll be buying more to place around my home and workspace!Highly recommended! 🔥🚒

Exactly what our home needed!
We’ve done a lot of home renovation projects the past 18 months and are quite proud of the work we’ve done and the improvements we’ve made. We got to talking and said it would be such a shame to have a tragedy like a fire ruin all the hard work we’ve done. We decided to get two fire extinguishers, a larger one right outside the back door, and a smaller one to keep in the kitchen.This one is the smaller of the two. It was a great price, less than $15. It’s a nice size without being TOO big for a smaller or older person. Comes with a nice warranty, as well as a bracket to hang it. I was able to hang it in an easy-to-grab location under the sink just inside the cabinet door. We now feel like we can put out a small fire, god forbid, whether it starts from cooking oil, an open flame, or even electrical.

Very good unit, but best for small grease or electrical fires only-Kidde makes quality extinguishers
Good small extinguisher. As a 10-year volunteer firefighter, I know something about these. Every home needs at least one unit. This one is wrongly linked to a larger A-B-C extinguisher, meaning it’s too small for wood and paper fires that get big, quickly. It’s DRY CHEMICAL, ideal for small grease and electrical fires (B-C class respectively, as rated by UL Labs and other agencies).Its charge is probably too small for larger “A” fires (However, it MIGHT buy you some time so you can call the FD). Dry chem extinguishers are non-toxic and don’t conduct electricity and don’t damage circuitry. Kidde makes good stuff. Get one and learn how to use it-may save your home, vehicle and more valuable parts of your life (loved ones). I plan to buy a larger one (saved my parents’ house from a lightning-caused electrical fire with a similar one.

Must have!
After a battery pack I was charging for a hand tool started popping and filling the house with smoke I will always try to never go without an extinguisher. The thought of how fast everything happened was terrifying. Nice quality and size extinguisher. Easy enough to be hung or stored in a cabinet. Directions attached make it easy to use in an instant.
