Customer Reviews for Kidde Kitchen Fire Extinguisher with Easy Mount Bracket, 10 B:C, Dry Chemical, One-Time Use

A satisfied customer! Easy to set up and accessible in case of a fire.

I hate to write a review after having a kitchen fire but I have to buy a new one because...I had a kitchen fire. So, I was cooking and the bacon grease caught on fire on the pan. Never saw that coming. I opened the oven, screamed, and my husband, and then pulled out the fire extinguisher I put under the sink when we bought the house nine years ago. That's right. The puppy worked after nine years. Apparently, it's good for 12 years! Honestly, I have to say this is probably the best $20 I ever spent. Saved my house, my oven, and my life. It only hurt my sheet pan and my pride. Do note - and I mean in general, try to avoid fires, but, it's worth noting - This gets the dry chemicals everywhere! EVERYWHERE. You can't avoid it. It's just the nature of a fire extinguisher, but I had no idea. And I'd say, generally, for your kitchen, the dry chemicals are great! Also, it's non-toxic - still don't breathe it in, but hey gotta put all those coronavirus masks to good use, right?

It finally occurred to my husband and myself that we had totally spaced having a fire extinguisher for the house. Blew my mind that we didn't think of it. We bought two of these. One for the kitchen and one for the deck by the grill. Bought several of the red ones for the house, back yard, and shop. As of one month ago we had them all mounted and in their places. As it took a couple of weeks for my husband to get around to mounting them, I kept messing with them. Reading the instructions, mainly. I'd never had to use one in my life. I did learn about this in a health and safety class back in 1988, but I needed a refresher. Tonight I put about 20 pounds of brisket burger on my Traeger smoker/grill. It was dirty, but I didn't think it was *too* bad. But when you put 20 pounds of meat that are 75% lean and add all *that* grease to what was already there, it's a bit much. Fifteen minutes into the cook and I notice smoke filling up my entire back yard. LOTS of smoke. Too much smoke. I ran out and the grill has little flames licking out the sides and back. Like a dummy, I open it up and am rewarded with six foot flames shooting up to the roof of my house. Welp, I happened to have a handy, dandy fire extinguisher that's especially for grease fires just about eight feet away. And I had just happened to be bored enough to read and reread the instructions just a few weeks before. I snatched up the extinguisher, pulled the pin, aimed it at the bottom of the fire, and squeezed the trigger. The fire was OUT in about two seconds. This is the BEST $20 I've ever spent in my life! *Now* I know not to put that much grease on top of an already greasy drip tray and yes, I'll be buying another extinguisher. (Now I want to get a couple of red ones for the trucks while I'm at it! lol!) Safety first, whoo-ah!

Easy to install in the kitchen on the wall. Hope I never have to use it ( better to have and not need it , then need it and not have it ).

Hopefully I never need to use this but in case I need to use it the hanging safely in my closet in easy reach. The little easy to install hook is a nice addition to an extinguisher. The dial is easy to read if it is ready to understand if the extinguisher is ready to use. The pin is easy to remove to start using the extinguisher in fire fighting action.

Safety is the name of the game, in your kitchen or in your shop you need to be able to respond to fires fast! I have a newer home and I equipped my wife's kitchen with high end appliances. You would think that in itself would make it a pretty safe kitchen. Twice in the past 5 years, the high end appliances caught fire for no good reason. Thank goodness damage was minimal and the appliance in question was replaced for free. The morale to this story is, no matter how safe you think your surroundings are, it is still a great ideal to be prepared for emergencies. This little extinguisher is just what you need for your kitchen! I would highly recommend getting an extinguisher you can trust, Kidde is the one you want to protect your family!

They work well... stay charged for years..

This Kidde fire extinguisher was a perfect addition to my utility room remodel. This gives me security from equipment failure or lint fire.

I have always believed in safety and fire extinguishers have always been a part of my plan. Living in a small community that doesn't have a local company to service fire extinguishers males the 10 year service life of this unit very attractive. Additionally, there is no annual service fee making this unit a good deal. Don't be without fire extinguishers in your home!

I returned the fire extinguisher because the one I have was still full.

so, why did you buy it? satisfy state inspection - it does what it is purchased for feel better about being prepared - it does what it is purchased for put out a fire - not yet successful.

Perfectly sized for the kitchen. Smoke detectors, CO detectors, fire extinguishers and a family plan for fires should be part of every home.

Happy with all aspects of delivery, product quality and easy of install and acceptance by users.

Looks good. Thankfully, I have not yet had an opportunity tonuse it i feel safer knowing I have it though.

Good addition for the fire safety in our home

good to have on hand....hope I never have to use it! Very simple instructions on its use. Reasonably priced.

Haven’t had a fire yet. Better review if put to use, thus preventing loss of house. Stay tuned for updates.

Its an excellent small extinguisher for a kitchen fire ABC, not a good choice for an auto fire due to its small capacity.

I had this product before. So I struck with what I knew. Always find almost everything I need at home depot. Brands names
