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.

3rd pic shows A, B, C. Is that the same thing?

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.
