i wish there is an easy way to re-pressurize these extinguishers. That's all it need after sitting years unuse.

I hate that I have to double check half the "Slick Deals" on here now before pulling the trigger. Same thing is $19 on Amazon and I don't have to leave my house to go get it. $1-2 off isn't a Slick Deal to me.

FWIW, the "FINE PRINT" on the Ace webpage for this item says LIMIT 2.

Costco has 5 lb First Alert 3A40BC for $30, though only at the warehouse. Says it "Meets OSHA, DOT and the Bureau of Motor Carriers Standards. USCG Approved". It's also rechargeable.

This is not a great deal at all.

The "HOME10" versions used to go on sale for $10-14, if I'm not mistaken. Those should be A-B-C. I believe they had 10 year or lifetime warranty and were able to be re-filled/ re-pressurized.

NOT for household fires. Electrical and flammable liquid only.

Crappy price, too.

Meh.

Look for one with an ABC rating, not just BC. Mount it away from inaccessible or fire-prone areas, not in a closet or under the sink.

You might want to stay away from Kidde;
"Kidde Mishandled Problems With Its Fire Extinguishers for Years as Homes Burned and Injuries Mounted": company buried complaints; fined $12 million; Consumer Product Safety Commission forced recalls.
