It's weird these are as expensive as they are. Fire extinguishers shouldn't be more than $5 because it's in everyone's interest that unwanted/unexpected fires be put out as soon as possible. We have homeless people in my town with out of control fires fairly regularly. The last video I saw showed someone trying to put the fire out by hitting it with a cooler. It just seems to me like this is something the government actually should subsidize.

While I absolutely recommend any extinguisher over no extinguisher, I'd really recommend stepping up to the 5lb size. When you need a fire extinguisher, you're going to be elated that it sprays longer than a few seconds. The 5lb size usually sprays a few feet further too. Takes up negligible more space, costs a few bucks more, worth every cent when you need it.
Funny. Its amazing how many people think the government is the answer to everything and free stuff /subsidized for all. Maybe home security systems, bug spray, and sunscreen for all too!

This is a good point. If you want to have several throughout, I guess the smaller size may be beneficial.

And if not, then Walmart has the same OP Woot 'deal' for $24.42 [walmart.com]
Woot is not often that great.
Look for metal handle
To see if you have a recalled product, visit SaferProducts.gov
It says it is a steel handle in one of the pictures.
Those were first alert. I ordered that deal also. One of mine came cracked also.
