Kidde Basic Fire Extinguisher for Home, Office, Residential, Single-Use, 5BC

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! 🔥🚒

I have a large fire extinguisher. This one I feel will be easier to grab if needed. The instructions are plain and simple, large enough to see and even has pictures.

While I hope to never audition this little red hero in a real-life drama, having the Kidde Fire Extinguisher stationed by my home's exits gives me peace of mind. Its compact 3.2-pound design is deceptively powerful, ready to tackle unexpected kitchen flare-ups or rebellious toaster incidents. The easy-to-read pressure gauge and intuitive operation mean that in a pinch, even my dog could probably figure it out (though I wouldn't recommend that). It's a small investment for safety, and it complements my décor better than a charred wall would. Highly recommend for anyone who prefers their marshmallows toasted, not their living rooms.​

I really like the size of this extinguisher. I’ve ordered four of them, one for each floor of my house and one for a white elephant gift this past christmas. Having these easy-to-store extinguishers gives me peace of mind. along with fire blankets on every floor and fire ladders for the second story bedrooms.. postpartum anxiety at its finest leading to ordering fire safety equipment at 1am. Better to be safe than sorry! I do really likeand trust this brand

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.

Love it works great and is well made.

I ordered a two-pack of these to put in our vehicles. Good to have piece of mind when you are in a vehicle traveling at nearly the speed of sound when my wife is driving while sitting on top of roughly 20-30 gallons of fuel. Seems like the prudent thing to do...

Love it
