This Costco First Alert rechargeable 5 pound extinguisher stands out as a solid home safety buy, especially because it includes a heavy duty mounting bracket and is often priced below its regular $39.99. The unit is described as quality, and the full weight should be about 10.2 pounds when properly charged. Maintenance is straightforward, with the gauge kept in the green and the powder occasionally loosened by inverting and tapping the canister. The main caution is to check the charge on arrival, since past Costco units have arrived low and needed returns.
Common Questions (5)
Weigh it after delivery and compare it to the listed full weight of about 10.2 lb. The gauge should also sit in the green; if the needle is low, the propellant may be low even if the extinguishing agent is still present.
Yes, it can be inspected and recharged, but the service cost can exceed the price of buying a new one. A reported commercial service and recertification visit cost about $100, making replacement the cheaper option in many cases.
Yes, it is a 5 lb extinguisher. The regular non-sale price is reported as $39.99, with sale pricing dropping to $30.
Yes. It comes with a heavy-duty mounting bracket, which adds value at the $30 price and makes wall storage easier.
For commercial use, it should be inspected annually, recharged every six years, and hydrotested every 12 years. At home, keep the gauge in the green and occasionally invert and tap the canister to prevent powder from caking.
