KiddeFire Extinguisher for Kitchen, Residential, Single-Use, 711A

This item worked perfect and possibly saved lives, I actually purchased this set for my son for Christmas along with a fire blanket for the house he is renting. He hosted our Christmas party and we exchanged our gifts. After I left I realized I had forgotten something so I went back to his house about 1.5 hrs later and on arrival I found the pine straw bedding around his home had caught fire and in turn caught the house on fire. He was asleep inside, I woke him and we grabbed the new extinguishers and we were able to put out the fire and saved the house. Never dreamed we would need them that fast. It was a Christmas miracle!! Of course I ordered another set! Also thanks to Amazon fast delivery we got the original set before Christmas and they were not expected until the 30th. Amen to that!

Good product

As a retired firefighter, I can say that having a kitchen extinguisher that is NOT corrosive to appliances is really nice. A 'regular' ABC (the red all-purpose one in the photo) or "BC" (flammable liquids/electrical fires) extinguisher certainly works on kitchen fires, but the contents are corrosive to metal. If that's all you have, it's certainly best to use it rather than let your house burn down, but having one that won't corrode your appliances is a bonus, especially in cases where the fire is small and was extinguished before it did any real damage to your appliance (because that little bit of powder you didn't get off the metal parts of your stove can cause corrosion there later).Also, as you can see in the mfgr's photo, the nozzle of the kitchen extinguisher (the white one) is flared - this is important because the contents come out of an extinguisher under pressure, and can easily blow and spread whatever they hit. Having a flared nozzle reduces that effect, so that if you have a liquid/grease fire (very common), it's less likely to blast the pan of burning grease all over the stove, wall, etc.Kidde brand has been around for decades and is quite reputable.Everyone should have this set of extinguishers for their home & kitchen. It's hard to beat the price of ~$15/each, and even though they aren't refillable, you'd probably spend at least that much paying to refill a refillable extinguisher. With these, use them once and just buy another to replace it (it's a risk to try to reuse an extinguisher as there's no real guarantee it'll work a second time, but you should follow the manufacturer's recommendation on that).**Just as an 'fyi', if you have an old extinguisher laying around that still shows the needle in green ("good"), just know that the contents can become packed down over the years, and it may not be able to expel the packed-down contents even though it shows 'green' because it still has pressure. My advice, for what it's worth, is to get a new extinguisher every few years, or as recommended by the manufacturer.

I bought these and I love the size that they are. I feel so much safer, knowing that I have them in the house. I hope I never have to use them, but the instructions are simple enough. Keep your family safe and buy a set. It's the one purchase you hope never gets used.

Well i ordered 2 packs got 1 white 3 red, i needed 2 white! We are now greater protected for house but wanted 2 for our vehicles. This isn't as bad but, we needed 2 white

My husband recently became a fireman, and he insisted we purchase these for our kitchen. I didn’t realize that different fire extinguishers serve different purposes, but now I understand why having both is so important. This set includes one general-use extinguisher (1-A:10-B:C) and one specifically designed for kitchen fires, ensuring we’re prepared for a wide range of potential emergencies.Kidde is the gold standard for fire safety, and these extinguishers are well-made, easy to use, and give me peace of mind knowing we can protect our family and home if needed. They come with wall mount and strap brackets, making them easy to store in accessible locations. If you don’t already have fire extinguishers in your kitchen, I highly recommend this set—it’s an affordable investment in safety that everyone should have.

Great

Perfect for Kitchens, having had a small grease fire, the white, special purpose extinguisher is perfect for putting out grease fires and preventing re-flash. This from a retired Navy sailor, who believes every sailor is a firefighter and had some practice at it.
