Kidde, FA110G, Multi Purpose Fire Extinguisher for Home, Office, Dorm, Residential, 1A10BC

I bought this fire extinguisher because the thought of not being able to put out a grease fire or any other type of fire if I had to scared me. So, to keep my family safe, I decided to invest in this product. Overall, I'm quite happy with the purchase. This extinguisher arrived at my home with plenty of padding to avoid leakage and excessive damage. When I took it out of the container, it felt hefty and well-made. The instructions on the extinguisher are as clear and simple as can be. I definitely feel comfortable using this, even though I've never operated a fire extinguisher in my life. I currently have it in a closet near the doorway of my home in case of emergencies. I haven't had to use it, but if I ever need to, I'll feel a lot more confident having this on my side!

Excellent and good quality price

The day I ordered this my neighbor threw a cigar on a old tree stump, it caught on fire. I ran to my kitchen to get the fire extinguisher and someone moved it. You never know when you will need but be prepared. Great value for the money, appears red, easy to use, good size for small fire, it doesn't weigh a lot even a small person can use it. Appears it can put out fires.

Hopefully i dont ever need it, but I wanted to get one just incase. Its bigger than I expected, and a good price. Also comes with a plastic mount for it.

Please note --- The reason I want to drop this review is specifically cautionary. My reflections below apply to any reputable extinguisher of this size. The extinguisher works fine as-advertised, and I was able to break it out and discharge very quickly. That warrants 4 stars. Please keep reading below. I bought this to keep in my truck. Mostly forgot about it until today when we ran up against a serious multi-vehicle fire in the parking lot at the local hardware store. TLDR the fire ultimately engulfed one vehicle, then spread and damaged at least 3 others before FD arrived. I was one of the first people to spot the fire, tried (and failed) to stop it spreading. Very lucky the fire didn't make it to where my truck was parked. I would not have been able to save my vehicle if it had. Important: This unit is simply not anywhere near big enough to deal with anything more than a very small fire. It's not very powerful and runs out in about 5-10sec. I'm not sure this packs enough to put out even a small campfire; it didn't make a dent on the burning engine block of the first vehicle. If you plan to carry one in your truck for a real emergency... or even just for the home... get something bigger. *Much* bigger.

I had a very old electric range that malfunctioned during its cleaning cycle—the locking lever melted, the oven door jammed shut, and a grease fire started inside. Since I couldn’t open the oven, the flames kept growing. Water wasn’t an option for a grease fire, so I grabbed this extinguisher, pulled the pin, and swept it across the cracks around the oven door. The fine powder was able to get inside and put out the fire even though the door wouldn’t open. It truly saved my home from a much worse disaster. The only drawback is cleanup—using it is like spraying fine sand everywhere. But considering it stopped a full-on kitchen fire, the cleanup was absolutely worth it. The unit is lightweight, comes ready to use out of the box, and the built-in pressure gauge makes it easy to check that it’s still in good working condition. Highly recommend having one of these on hand.

The Kidde FA110 Multi Purpose Fire Extinguisher was purchased on 2 occasions during June of 2022 for the price of $24.97 plus tax. The fire extinguisher is now available for $20.06 plus tax (November 23, 2024). How does one write a review of an item that you hope never becomes essential for use? I'm not certain that I've ever had to use a fire extinguisher! In any case, this product was purchased twice for neighbors I encountered while in the process of giving long term care to a nonagenerian relative who definitely needed one! Although there were fire extinguishers strategically placed throughout the residence, none of them were in the units of the residents. They were placed just outside the access door to the staircases of each floor. So, there were 4 extinguishers for 18 units. Each of these L&I mandated extinguishers weighed over 20 pounds. AND, they are relatively large and unwieldy...certainly too unwieldy for retired individuals... especially when experiencing various types of infirmity, or ambulatory challenges. The Kidde Fire Extinguisher is small enough to be inconspicuous when placed inside of most homes and apartment dwellings. AND, they only weigh about 5 pounds. So, unless the individual has very little strength, and limited mobility, these extinguishers are perfect for the individuals for whom they were purchased. I lobbied for each unit to have one...since there was always a smoke detector being triggered. In any case, this product is a perfect gift for anyone occupying a dwelling of any type in which no fire extinguisher is present. It is especially suited for individuals with limited strength and mobility as full size extinguishers are relatively heavy in comparison. Upon returing home, I purchased one for myself. Every home, garage, shed, and business dwelling should have these located in strategic places in addition to the larger models that are usually situated in public buildings. YOU should have at least one!

I can't make this up. The DAY they arrived, my elderly aunt set a friggin fire in her room from a cigarette. I was extremely thankful to have them. Light weight, easy instructions, very useful, good value

Excelente producto, de buena calidad, funcional práctico, llegó bien empacado, oportunamente, lo volvería comprar

Me gusta que no ocupa mucho espacio

los que recibieron regalo--me dieron las gracias.

Bueno para el precio. Algo de ruido al manejar mi jeep, con sujetadores especiales para este tipo de extintor. 9 de 10
