Last time I checked, it costs more to recharge one of these than it does to buy a new one. If you can even find a place that recharges them.....

Correct. It is almost never worth it to recharge anything under 10lbs due to cost. Even then thats the break even point.
Unless you have large, industrial, or specialty extinguishers its best to buy a new one.

At one point I thought local fire departments recharged these free. I checked with our local FD and they said they stopped doing that and to just throw it away 😩

Businesses in my state are required to get their extinguishers "inspected"every year. I watched them do this and they just flipped it upside down, hit it with a mallet a few times on the bottom and put a tag on it. It's a total racket. If you have them come out it costs 3 times as much so I physically take them in. After 6 years of flip and pound, you are forced to recharge them which as was stated is more than a new one costs. It's all a freaking scam.

Well this deal's extinguisher is 10.2lb Wink

But no... likely not worth it.

When you replace your smoke detectors every 10yrs, replace all extinguishers.


Gemini answer:
"A professional recharge for a 10 lb ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher typically costs between $25 and $50 if you drop it off at a certified facility."

"Required Inspections: If the extinguisher is over 6 years old, it will require an internal breakdown inspection. If it is over 12 years old, it requires a hydrostatic pressure test. These tests can add another $10 to $25 to your total bill."

Just an FYI, these are not Carbon Dioxide extinguishers. They use a dry chemical extinguishing agent. It leaves a powdery coating all over everything in the surrounding area, and even ceiling fans can spread it across a larger area in the room.

There's nothing wrong with this extinguisher type, but it's to best to know what you're getting into before it surprises you after using it.

I need one for the garage, and hope it gets old (and unused) enough to have to make that recharge/toss decision.

I picked one up last time and it's perfect for myself. We also have the smaller ones placed in the kitchen.

A note though for elderly or maybe someone with mobility issues: it will be large and on the heavier side. You may be better off with a couple of the smaller ones so you can handle them better in an emergency.

An important feature, at least to me, is this one has commercial-grade metal spray handles and a metal valve and trigger. The non rechargeable extinguishers from this and other manufacturers use plastic instead of metal for the spray handles, valve and trigger.

So given all these replacements, is there any use or know anyone (scouts, teachers, parents) who want to use less-than-ideal extinguishers for training? Are they even safe to simply throw away if they are charged to some amount?

Let's say I have a 10-year old extinguisher, is it of any use (training, etc) or just a liability and dangerous or costly to dispose of?

I was wondering about that and if anyone has done it. Google AI says it costs $15-50. There's also the argument about refilling them to produce less waste.

Pretty good deal. I've got two extinguishers that are ~20 years old... probably should have changed them a while ago but who thinks about them unless you need them.

For this price, I think it would be a good idea to keep one in the trunk of the car.
