A = paper, wood, cloth, etc
B = oil, grease, etc
C = electrical

The number before an "A" is equal to 1.25 gallons of water. So a 4A extinguisher is as effective as 5 gallons of water.

The number before a "B" and/or "C" is equal to square foot of coverage. So a 5BC extinguisher provides 5sqft of coverage.

For the home, ABC is best, but if I had to choose only two classes for home use it would be an AB extinguisher. C fires cause A fires.

Also, I really recommend going with a larger size. You'd be shocked how quickly these tiny extinguishers run out of agent.
This is a BC rated extinguisher, that means it's good for liquid fire and charged electrical equipment. You'll want an ABC extinguisher for general purposes. Class A is normal combustible stuff like trash can fire, wood, couch, paper and cloth. Therefore you want the A, B, and C protection. ABC is easy to find, maybe not as cheap but get the one that'll work
Sadly, cheaper than refilling.

How should one properly dispose of a fire extinguisher?

Bring it to a fire department they'll deal with it

Sometimes they fill for free too

ABC is the best but the agent causes big mess.

This is essentially for boats and autos: electrical and flammable liquid fires only.

Ace has the First Alert version with a bracket on sale sometimes: it was $$7.99 a year ago.

If you have an Ace account, you may have a $ off coupon sitting there; I have a $7 off $20.

My bedroom is heated with a space heater so this would be perfect for it.

Keep in mind that next week is Fire Prevention Week (NFPA event for those who don't work in industrial settings), so many other extinguishers will likely be on sale as of next Sunday.

If this wasn't exactly what you were looking for, don't buy this and settle. Many more deals will be had shortly.

Would you happen to know the rational for 1.25 gallons? Seems unnecessarily to complicate that.

Only reason I could think of is 1.25 gallons equals roughly 2 hogsheads

The only thing that I can think of is that the once popular pressurized water extinguishers contained 2 1/2 gallons of water. This would make sense since the fire code required a minimum 2A rating for extinguishers in commercial buildings.

If you're a Costco member, they have one on sale this month $30 and it's a very large 3A40BC extinguisher that would be suitable for home/kitchen.

We purchased several of these extinguishers from Costco a few years ago, sadly we had to send half of them back because they had already leaked down after leaving the factory in China.
I recommend that one pay extra for a well constructed fire extinguisher from a local, reputable extinguisher service company.

If you don't have a couple of these in your house, this is a great opportunity. I had to use one a couple months ago, so thankful I had them!!!!

Same! I had to use one a few weeks ago. I went out and bought 4 more, and more for my car after that frightening experience.

Would this be good for Hyundai and Kia owners that keep their cars in the garage ? I keep reading about them starting on fire when parked. Apparently, some type of electrical system malfunction? So if the fire starts from electrical components, but spreads to other materials what is the best type of extinguisher ?

After discharging all of the chemical/pressure from the extinguisher, every one I have ever had, I was able to unscrew the top fairly easily. I made a compressed air canister out of one and added a Schrader valve so I could fill it. Works fine still for going on 10 years. I made sure to spray paint it green so that someone doesn't get it mixed up with an actual fire extinguisher.

Why is this regular priced 10-BC which is has double the agent for $22.47 not the better buy?
